    S3 - Tyre Choice

    I know we quite often have these conversations on here about what tyres to fit to our cars, but after reading a few past posts I have been left with in-conclusive results! :laugh: These are the 3 I have narrowed my choice to... so what would you guys go with! Oh and I am using etyre as they...

    Thanks for that.... So it's looking good if the hero works.... If anyone has the desire let us know... The legend also looks interesting.

    Audi A3/S3 Blutooth and HTC Desire

    Not really sure the best place to post this.... but I guess I need input from A3/S3 owners.... I am after the HTC Desire Android phone... has anyone succesfully paired one of these phones to their car? And does the phone book copy across to the car? many thanks.... Gav

    MODIFICATIONS SECTION ON INSURANCE .

    Sounds crazy to me! Good job my loss adjuster was happy to pay out 27k.... he even had the orginal order sheet which listed the extras..... It sounds like a mine field they cannot police/inforce to be honest.... various kit went standard on the S3 with the LED lights... and my previous S4...

    MODIFICATIONS SECTION ON INSURANCE .

    my standard specification included SatNav, Tinted windows, hill hold, light pack etc.... I specified this when I bought it! It is covered by the standard insurance.... you MOST certainly dont need to tell them about kit that is in the Audi options list! They are only interested in performance...

    New S3 - 1 Month In

    Yes I agree the ipod connector is absoute waste of time and money... the new AMi one looks to rectify this, but I just missed out on this... Apart from the car getting nicked and recovered the only problem I have had so far (a year on) is a knocking on the steering... This went in last week...

    Audi A3 VS Bmw

    My money would be on the Beemer! But how about using some of the money and both getting yourselves to SantaPod..... Timeslips will tell you more than a jaunt down a shoddy road!

    Brand new S3 stolen

    Sorry to hear this dude! The police actually said they knew who stole mine(for those that remember mine getting stolen), and were going to pick them up..... "apparantly they do it often" he said...... So why is he not in jail I hear you say! Exactly what I thought! Useless!

    Back box

    And the S3 exhaust has those vacum controled valves in the exhaust to "apparantly" make it shound better! I guess the valve would stay shut unless you have the vacum pipe! Unless the Derv's have this as well!

    S3 on full lock

    Mine also does this since the snow and ice has been around..... I think its normal.... and its only on full lock! MY S4 used to do a similar thing....

    S3 - Handling in The Wet / Snow

    Mine has also been awesome in the snow.... I would say not quite as good as my previous S4, but again it could be the tires..... I find mine seem to fill up the grooves with ice and then its like having slicks on.... I would think the eagles are good as it would allow the ice to slide out the...
