How are you finding your new Emira and have you learn to drive it faster round bends than the RS3 yet? I spoke to a semi pro driver who said he does faster laps in the V6 Emiras than he can do it his RS3. Personally I don't think I am that good yet after 6 years of being spoiled driving an RS3...

Its surprising the RS3 doesn't make less power with OPF compared to the 8V.

Last November I traded in my RS3 8V after nearly 6 years of ownership for a Lotus Emira. I loved my RS3 and took it from standard to built stage 4 over the years. In the end it was super fast but I liked it the best at stage 2+ 515hp due to the instant power. At that point I did have Wavetrack...

Hi Si Did you end up finishing your car in the end?

That’s pretty impressive if it stays looking good. I’ve never seen a paint that can stick to an oily surface. Fingers crossed.

Did you try Adrian Flux? I thought my £640 for bigger turbo, built engine 700hp was pretty good.

Any new dyno data yet or hardware info like in the TTE777 thread? I think VanCity Audi must be nearly ready to release their figures. Mine is fitted and I’m currently running in the engine before mapping.

I am happy I’ve made the right choice and I’m sure the higher the ho build the more advantage it will have getting the power down.

I had PS4S and thought they were a good all round tyre but have now changed to the Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres. Supposed to be a better performance tyre but I’ve not had them long enough to make a proper comparison.

I’m with Adrian Flux and I went up £20 to £640 for 700hp mods with Ghost & tracker

The sports exhaust is pretty good and with valves open a lot of owners prefer the sound. It doesn’t surprise me it is quieter. A while ago I read some countries in Europe are only allowing replacement exhausts that meet the newer standards. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Audi abided by that...

Sorry unless I am doing something wrong the link no longer works.

Hi Just seeing if anyone knows how to play a dvd in the glovebox unit whilst driving? There’s a safety setting that stops this but it’s for my daughter on longer journeys.

This is all good to know but I’d expect if you are losing it from a gasket/seal you would have sins in the engine bay because it has to go somewhere. My Land Rover head gasket was leaking before, resulting in oil was everywhere and the only reason I knew. If you are losing so much oil and it was...
