Been about a month since I picked up a 2017 Audi S1 - Mythos Black with Sat Nav, Bose and Heated Seats as options. Completely stock (afaik), but so quick you can be forgiven for thinking it must have more than 230bhp. 50k miles, first job was haldex, brake fluid and gearbox fluid change. Next (bigger) job, will be a new clutch and DMF as it's juddering first/reverse on-cold and feels quite clunky on gear changes. Gear stick seems to move about a bit under power - do they all do that? should I be worried?
also tyres, oh my, for 225/35/18 I can only find a choice of Bridgestone S001, Continental SP5 (no option for the new SP7 tyres that I can see) and Michelin Super-sport which ok is fine during summer and on-track but I'd like something more year-round please. I imagine the car would've had Conti's when new. Currently it's running on 4 completely different ditch finders, new but they need to come off but they send me off.
any views on whether the car handles better on 17" wheels and such opens up the tyre choice (and price point)
