Re: RS3, A45 AMG or... M2

Yep is expensive, but also RWD rather than the haldex pair. the merc has a proper front diff on the revised car there all damn expensive, doubly so when compared to lease costs of an R golf and in the real world not that much faster the M2 certainly looks the best by a mile (Audi thats how you do f...

Re: RS3 TC light question

The TC is triggered by differences in rotational speed of the wheels as sensed by the ABS sensors, so if the front tyres are worn enough for the radius to be different enough from the rear tyres (a different make of tyre may exaggerate the difference) then it's entirely possible for the TC to be tr...

Re: VW Golf R400 Yes - No ??

My RS3 would happily spin the fronts, as a four wheel drive car it was pretty pony. a couple of things you need to do to improve this first ditch the sh1t conti tyres for MPSS's the difference is unreal, this will also cure tram-lining and remove the 2-3 inch of centre slop / dead zone on the steer...

Re: VW Golf R400 Yes - No ??

Not doubting you Dave at all, but I am surprised. I thought a big reason for moving to this sort of differential was so the car would drive the front wheels only when not being pushed hard, therefore waste less energy to the drivetrain and increase the mpg. Bang goes my assumption! there is a dyno ...

Re: VW Golf R400 Yes - No ??

He messed up saying the current Golf R was permenant AWD though, lol it has been since gen 2, and gen IV has at least 10% to the rear and can adjust power front to back in about 0.25 of a second, a bit faster on gen V it works better than the vast majority of the quattro systems especially with tor...

Re: VW Golf R400 Yes - No ??

First golf to hit £40k i reckon !! To warrant that price though it'll have to be a limited run of say 4000 cars, If they do that its gonna hold its price pretty well. Sad thing is though it appears to be manual only ??? OMG no DSG why ??? first? the MKVI R to my spec was 43k and i missed a fair bit...

Next RS3 testing?

sounds like a 5 pot

i do not like the design of the stock car, to fussy and out of balance compared to the 8P imo
