Making me wish I had a black one
Your car looks nice
I love black cars for the 5 minutes they look clean. But it is depressing seeing all the marks, swirls and scratches when cleaning them.

I think i'll order a Meguiars clay bar then, what lube do you use? lol
If you've paid with finance, they should give you 2 years free service and 12 months free warrenty. Audi tamworth are a joke, it took them 4 hours to fit my cruise control! When they said 1hr / 1hr 1/2.
Very nice replacement mate, your old car was nice but this is better (and newer).
Nice one I need to order the full Milltek and get a remap asap. Missing the noise and extra power so much
new clutch on the way then?:]
Nice, coolant reservoir looks over filled.

You don't need a decat for anything less than Stg3 or above and as you say it avoids any MOT issues.
The car isn't over endowed with grip on the stock Bridgestones but if you sort the suspension and Haldex,traction is a lot better.
Mine doesn't break traction that easily now with twice the power you're running unless I put the PS3s on the thing.
I'd tell you what it cost me,but that won't make you happy either!I think the other s3 i was driving had work done on the suspension. The grip at the front doesn't seem as good on this one Going to cost me a fortune to make me happy

Just start with ARB front and back + WALK and should be ok for stage 2/2+, if the money gets better you can then always fit nice set of coilovers too.
plus 100 for alignment i am afraid
So £300+ for the anti-roll bars, this is going to get expensive lol
Looks as though you have had a good result..
ARBs/Springs/Anti Lift Kit
Revo Map Plus SPS switch/DSG map
Miltek res/non/res havent decided yet
Guessing that little lot is going to cost me 3K at least, thinking of just selling up and getting a TTRS
it's going to cost 3k with ttrs tooARBs/Springs/Anti Lift Kit

And......
You wait till you see the cost of the big turbo kits for it.
I dont think I would go that far with it
I'd be more than happy with a stock RS3/TT-RS let alone a tuned one, unreal machines man.

The soundtrack is nicer,I have to admit......but the noise and the bangs from the exhaust on this make up for it...LOLThat's fair enough, your used to your 500bhp. But the S-Tronic, with DSG parp and the 5 cylinder soundtrack sold it for me, everything else was iirelevant
While I'm not one to discourage some suspension mods, the difference in front grip could be as simple as the tyres.... what's this new one got fitted to it and have they got much wear on them?
What make are the tyres?.....the Bridgestones that Audi seem so fond of are awfulI checked the tyres straight away and they are the same brand and model with about the same grip. The ride is softer on this one so the other must of had something done to it.I then noticed the tyre pressures were all over the place (thanks for checking those in your 145 point check Audi) so i've set them to what the label says even though they seem stupidly high but i'm going to research that later.

Those are generally pretty good tyres,but one other thing to check is wheel alignment,and on any of the Quattros,it's prone to slipping out of alignment quite easily and quickly.continental sport contact 2
