and people might think your mods are *****, which according to some now makes you a chav just like us, innit.
this forum is getting a bit boring with all the modding threads, but I'll still check in every now and again to see if someone has posted something useful about a remap, or an HPP upgrade or something else designed to make a car go faster.
Innit? Naw pal. Not when my car looks completely OEM.
oh sorry, I thought you drove a A3, not a RS4.
Woah, serious deja vu.
I thought we were talking about these wheels:
on this car:
Some people might want to look here instead.
Ah, Jamie, thats what a bowfer is.
I modded my house with a conservatory, my garden with a hot tub and my car as my sig says, and all because I wanted too, not for anyone but me!!
Dont lie... you modded the house with a htub to get women naked!! We know!
Anyway, Im liking the euro rimmage...
wait.. can I say rimmage??
And now you know
Welcome to the currently rather crazy A3/S3 'lounge'.
You're a bit brave jumping in here...
The forum is full of people modding cars, I dont mind a mod if its done to increase 'performance' in some way, be it more power,better handling, lighter weight.
But just making a car so low it probably rides terribly and handles far worse than it did out of the factory is ridiculous. I could put up with a bad ride if the handling and grip was awesome, but in most of the case on here I dont think people give a second thought to whether it makes it go round corners better, just does it look slammed. Lower does not automatically equal great handling/grip.
And whats with fitting tyres that are clearly not wide enough for the wheels (see picture on first page), what the hell is that all about?

First of all I dont give a s**t if you mind what I do to my car..
And when your talking about performance mods, things that make it go faster etc.. I suppose you have missed the thread where I explained how I had just gone big turbo on the car, and its making 417bhp & 385ft/lbs?? Yeah thought so..
Also I do kind of know what im talking about when it comes to cars, so dont assume Im an idiot because im 'thinking' of changing the wheels on my car!?
Anyways this thread has gone a bit out of control, getting pretty bored of people coming on here purely to moan on about other peoples decisions.. If you dont like it then thats cool, but dont cause a scene!
And Bowfer, your an Idiot.. AGAIN!
Yeah - why bother voicing an opinion. I see your point.
I'm reallly surprised none of the other Ibis owners haven't bitten on the wheels actually. They look really good on white.
Jonny - the pads on the brakes - do they make a big difference? Might follow suit and get them done at Regal on the 4th in prep for the track on the 11th....
I tracked my car at Mallory, but it was pretty damp therefore sensible braking adn everything was fine, but I'm sure on a dry track with sustained abuse the standard set up going to faaaaaaade big time.
Be interested to know how big an improvement they make.
As for wheels, how about:

Hey, I'm not picking an argument mate, but this place has got pretty heated recently, and all I'm saying is a comment like "stop behaving like a spoilt brat" is provocative!
This place used to have a bit of a community feel, with lot's of you counting on people who do these mod's first for their expereinces. But these last few days have seen people popping shots left right and centre.
So that is why I used this after your post.
Sorry
I agree - which is why I saw my **** over Jonny's comments like these:
"First of all I dont give a s**t if you mind what I do to my car..
And Bowfer, your an Idiot.. AGAIN!"
Unnecessarily aggressive I thought.
No need to apologise to me mate - ever. I couldn't take offence even if I tried. Anyhow maybe my reaction was a little over the top so let's all kiss and make up .... until the next row.
Absolute bargain at 6k :icon_thumright:
Can we cuddle now?
Jonny - stop being a spoilt brat. If you post your car plans for public commentary you need to be prepared for positive and negative responses.
If you just want everyone to say "Oooh Jonny that's great" like a bunch of mindless JonnyC groupies its neither realistic nor fair to the ASN forum population who have minds of their own.
Some people will think your ideas are good - others will think they are cack.
Is that a problem ? If so why bother posting in the first place ?
You only need to look at companies like Brabus, they take the original which is already great and make it brilliant. But they're not seen as a bunch of chavs for lowering a C-Class and making it do 0-60 in sub 4 seconds.... But if you did it yourself you're a '****', 'chav' and ruining the car? Very strange.
