It doesn't look different enough to me from the front, but I do certainly like it. Not a fan of the new A3 shape, but I'm sure with 350hp I could forgive it :D Four exhausts, always good.

Rock on

Long time since I've been on here! Hello all, hope you're well. A lot of people are turning against the Gumball rally, as it's gone from the glorious "good old days" into a new age of stupidly rich loud mouth gits who just pay their way out of trouble, and spend the whole time driving at ridiculous ...

OK, so if you go for the full system, you need a remap anyway, to avoid mechanical cockups. So if you've got to pay for a remap, is it not worth paying that bit extra and having the full chip to put you up to 458hp? Is that chip upgrade an entirely new chip or just a remap of the standard one? I am ...

Christ, it really is low on the efficiency ratings that engine! The RS4 went in for a service and lent us an S8 for a few days (wheels were being changed to hard ones). Over the whole 5 or 6 days we had the car it averaged 23mpg, and that was in the S8 bodyshell! It's also a slightly higher tune too...

Re: RS4 clutch. Am I incorrect in thinking that the S4 and RS4 clutches are identical apart from the setting of the diaphragm or something? In other words, it's the same unit, just using different settings so that it bites harder and quicker. RS4 clutches are notoriously weak, and if you're looking ...

It's quite a cool Audi thing in my opinion, this polishing up the bare aluminium. As for stone chips, what can be done is having all the lacquer coatings etc. that you would have on normal paint, but transparent versions, so it would still have the same protection as any normal paint, and of course ...

The new M5 will have more class, better build quality and will remain interesting for years to come
Yes but it's a proper Nazi wagon, and no doubt there'll be thousands of them littering Essex before long :roll: Not a fan of BMW, Audi preference for sure!!!

The RS6 is a lot more growly, and very rapid, but is that what you want? The extra space, gadgets and quality of the A8 is probably more your scene. I have only been in the new A8 briefly, and I was very impressed. I can understand the appeal of an RS6, I love them to bits, but I think for everyday ...

Re: Who Pays the Highest Premium?

I'm also a 19 year old student, and I've not heard anyone beat my quotes for the old mini I had. 93hp it must be said, but all straight from the factory, well, from John Cooper anyway. Fully comp I would have been looking at about £5,500 at best. I eventually went for TPFT but even that was £1,500. ...

Re: Jon's Avatar - very off putting

It's a rare thing - Japanese animation with big boobs. In life there are breast men, bum men, and leg men. Personally, I'm a fan of all three equally!!!

Re: New RS6?

It wasn't long ago that there was definately not going to be an S6, so it just goes to show how you never know til the end! Who knows, maybe the next RS4 will have turbos, I personally think it will, but then that's just my opinion. I don't see Audi bringing out a new RS6 with less power than the M5...

Seriously mate, really hope you love it as much as you loved the S3, hopefully more of course! I'm so jealous of you mate. Seen a few R32's about and the...

Sorry Simon [img]images/graemlins/pftroest.gif[/img] I'll never be convinced by Skylines. Never driven one (I am only 19) but I've had a ride in a couple and they were all over the shot. The R33 felt a lot bigger and heavier than the 34, but the 34 did seem to shoot off a lot quicker, more on it's t...
