Why?
Well ... after the Ring & Spa, i've decided I want to do some more track days, just for fun ... im a <beep> driver, but want to have fun nonetheless
The RS 4 is too expensive to track for me, my banana needed tyres and brakes and was a bit of a dog if im honest (not mecanically, but paint) ... all this coupled with insurance of nearly £2k made me decide to get rid.
I am planning on another big V8/V10 next July, once some points expire and insurance is cheaper.
I wasnt specifically on the look out for one of these, but having had one before, I know they are great little fun cars ... not outrageously fast in a straight line, but really tight chassis and loads of grip.
This particular example has had only 2 owners, both enthusiasts, and the chap I bought it from was going to px it at Bath Audi today for an 2011 S3 Sportback, so lets just say I got it for a steal
Its mint for the miles ! My old QS, i bought with only 5,000 miles on !! So I know what a new one looks like, and this stands up pretty well to that, except for the worn alcantara steering wheel - will see if i can get a product to breath more life into it, or get it retrimmed or a new wheel.
Its been serviced every 10k, and just 2 weeks ago had a 10k service at Audi inc. Plugs .... brand new tyres also !! cambelt last yr
The best bit, is its got all the mods I would waste my money spending on it !
Forge short-shift kit
REVO Stage 2 Remap with Select Plus module
H&R Coilovers
Front & rear Neuspeed antiroll bars
Dual exit 3" Blue Flame downpipe, exhaust and cat-back
Forge boost valve
Zimmerman Drilled Discs
Its even got the nice Enthusiast touches that you only waste your money on cos your mad ...
Arm rest (Audi dont make one - so this is worth £200)
Custom 'quattro sport' mats, front / rear/ and boot ! with rubber over mats so they are mint !
full set of docs and receipts
Its pretty stripped out inside, but does have BOSE, air con and Xenons .... just two Pole Positions up front.
Anyway, pics below ... but mods planned (and booked in for):
- Cruise Control retro fit (for those long drives to the Ring
)- OEM TTS mk2 DRL LED front light kit
- Prob get the wheels done in Titan in trademark DK style
- Private Reg
So, as a gay track toy ... what do you recon ?
