It doesn’t make the pops and bangs in normal mode, only dynamic, so it’s not down to the valve overlap - it has to be the mapping. I’m not on about the pop on the gearshifts, I’m on about the pop and banging off throttle. My M2 comp was exactly the same, it did it in sport mode but not comfort...

It’s early 2018, deliberately went for one of those as I really didn’t want the OPF fitted. I think mine is just the standard exhaust, is the sports exhaust that much louder? On my other car I had the factory sports exhaust option fitted and it didn’t make that much difference and had to change...

I’ve just bought a 2018 RS3 sport back and want to get a cat back exhaust fitted to get a bit more noise from it. One thing I don’t want is one with awful looking tips (Remus for example). Are there any that are compatible with the oem exhaust tips? Not a huge fan of the quality of Miltek ones...

Is it just me that thinks 4 exhausts looks ridiculous on a car of this size?

I discovered whilst stuck in traffic yesterday, that my car has powerfold mirrors fitted. They only work when I twist the little switch though, so is there any way to get them to fold in automatically when I lock the car? Thanks

Might well have been me on my way to Cadwell Park.

Yeah the noise was good from the Gallardo, especially with a Tubi exhaust on. I still didn't think it was fun though, capable yes, fun no. Wouldn't mind a go in a GT2, am all about bikes now at the moment though. Absolutely nothing can touch them for Fun:£ ratio! Stick shift? Are you...

Fair enough, I can see why it would be desirable to have something that you could drive fast like that daily, but I'd never say it was fun. Never driven a GT2, driven my mate's GT3 RS and that was good fun (not a huge fan of the manual gearbox though, I prefer flappy paddles).

That surprises me. I drove a Gallardo Spyder and didn't rate it. Far too boring and easy to drive. Sounded pretty good looks nice and the E-gear is a great gearbox, that's about it. However, the interior is absolutely awful for a car at that price, it's basically an Audi interior, dreary and...

My current fleet: 2003 Honda CBR600RR 2011 Triumph Daytona 675 2008 Suzuki GSXR750 And my new track bike which will be picked up next Monday: 2010 British Superstock Yamaha R6. Going to be my race bike for next year too.

This is true. S3s are too planted and grippy to be fun. The most fun I've had in a car is either a TVR Tamora, a V12 Vantage or a Lotus Exige supercharged :)

Just put a deposit on this Triumph Daytona 675 today for my first road bike. Here it is on my test ride with my mates Speed Triple: Has a full Arrow exhaust, sounds fantastic with the baffle out. Can't wait to pick it up! :)

I'd have said the complete opposite. The carbon looks blingy and nouveau riche imo.

My GoPro mounts have 3M VHB on them and they're really good! Try that if you can find just the tape :)

All loaded up ready for Oulton Park tomorrow! The S3 tows really well actually. Fuel consumption isn't great (not that is it normally) but other than that it's perfect :)

I'm trying to wear out my awful Bridgestones ASAP so I can get some Pilot SuperSports on! :)

That sounds perfect thanks. Ill give them a go and see if it improves it to a level I'm happy with :)

I'll have a look into the anti roll bars, cheers :) I don't want it lowering any too, would coilovers not do that?

I'm looking for a way to kill the horrendous understeer in my S3. Is there a way to do so without fitting rock hard suspension and lowering it? I was thinking of maybe a rear anti roll bar, but do these make a lot of difference? Is a Haldex controller worth it? The tyres are getting changed for...

Because AMGs haven't been designed to be AWD.... Haldex kills all the fun aspect of any car imo. All fast cars I've driven with Haldex (including the RS3) suffer from horrendous understeer. Every AMG I've driven (a lot of them, ranging from the SLS to the ML63) are about being tail happy, loud...
