Re: Thinking of buying another

facelift looks far worse from the front end and IMO rear too. wheels worse.

have 280ps as standard from engine

have ricey boost guages above centre console

R trim inside car might be black/dark instead of lighter grey though don't hold me to that.

Re: Possible R purchase

Re: xenon bulb upgrade

You made the right choice. I would buy from a big website rather than ebay or even amazon plenty of fakes knocking about.

Re: Thinking of buying an M2, thoughts?

Yes I caught the guy on my CCTV, I think he knew it was there but didn't care as he appeared to look at it a couple of times. He started on my car at 6:36 am on a workday and was still in the vacinity at 06:50 He made a bee-line for my car, knew it was there. Opened the car without force in about 15...

Re: Thinking of buying an M2, thoughts?

My scirocco was actually written off, stereo stolen and wires cut, VW quoting insurers north of 10k to fix wiring loom. Sad way for the car to go but onto the M2 Looks: looks like an M2, in long beach blue a lot of compliments Sound: Cold start is glorious, in comfort mode very quiet. On sport more ...

Re: PS4S Tyres

I find them amazing and quiet too. Maybe ever so slight tramlining sometimes but nothing major and might just be tripping out.

on a stock R, manual, in the dry I could not break traction in 1st or 2nd.

Stage one can break traction but it puts down a lot of it very good tyre

Anyone lowered on Eibach Pro Springs?

I like Eibach's approach, modest lowering of 15mm front 10mm at the rear and designed to work with OEM dampers. Only about £110 on eBay. I think as I'm a manual car I need the 1050kg front axle weight spring set? DSG is 1090kg? I wouldn't want daily ride to suffer too much however!:) Would probably ...

Apart from mine i've only ever seen ONE viper green R:D Interestingly I am thinking of selling mine this year to move into an M2 as per the other thread. I still need to save more though before I can make the transition, am aiming for summer. My car is 2010, 67,000miles, manual, Dynaudio, Stage 1 R-...

Re: Thinking of buying an M2, thoughts?

RS3 masks its speed too well, and leaves me cold in the looks department. It isn't reviewed as a car that rewards your driving but as with all Audi's is point and squirt. Yes constant traction is a good trait but not the be all and end all. I wish I liked the golf R as I'd just get one of those and ...

Re: Thinking of buying an M2, thoughts?

Not interested into the RS3 though I'm sure it's a great car. Most reviews if you watch/read them DO recommend manual for the M2. I have test driven a DCT M2 and as usual felt disconnected from the car and engine in general. It was easily liveable in town it's ride was firm but damping ok though the...
