On Boost, ish.
I've owned my S3 for a year now and having not really spent much money modding it i'm now very bored of it. Stage 1 map and yeah it's fairly nippy but i'm bored of driving a fast German armchair now.
I had a stripped out raw loud beast of a Civic before and the cars are worlds apart.
I miss that raw power that you only seem to get 'out of the box' from a Jap car.
I still need something big and fairly respectable due to work reasons and i was looking at B6 S4's but it's like driving a Sofa with a rocket on it.
So having always, always, always wanted an Evo, and now finally reaching 5years NCB i have got a fairly reasonable insurance price for one. To be honest the whole reason i bought the S3 was because i wanted something 4wd and turbocharged but i couldn't justify the £3.5k+ insurance costs of an Evo.
The S3 will probably stay for a while whilst i save a few more pennies and also need a few bits sorting bodywork wise then i'll get it up for sale.
I think it's safe to say it's never really been what i wanted it to be and all round i'm a tad dissapointed with it.
Still, an Evo VIII MR360 should feed my needs
