Hi All,
So been a while since I last posted but thought I would post a little update. Clayed my car and couldn't believe how much **** was actually on it! Obviously never been done before and sounded like I was sanding down my car! Used almost a whole bottle of the lube spray and was very happy with the result. Unfortunately, didn't have time to use my poorboys black hole or sealent but maybe this weekend instead?
The car has an intake, DV+ and TT engine cover but no remap yet. I am sorry to say I am in the process of looking to sell my car
I don't really want to, I love it and it is so much fun, I just can't justify the cost with regards to petrol, insurance and tax, not to mention any depreciation or upkeep. My logic tells me to sell it but my heart says to keep it. I need to go with the brain. I am looking to lease now and as the whole investment world always say, lease your depreciating assets and it's true, I can lease a brand new car which will be nice for around 250 a month and not have other major costs, i save on petrol and tax is included. It will save me a tonne on petrol! Overall I need to be more sensible. I will be using the approx. 17K that I can sell this for partly towards a deposit for a place which I will probably rent out. I think it is a good trade logically, but no fun at all as I will still not be living there.
As a 26 year old, I can safely say I don't think I will have as much fun in a car for another couple of years at least. I love the looks of the car, new audi's and all the sharp edges don't do it for me. Love the power and it is a shame I will not be able to finish what I started and go to stage 3 when I had it all planned out with what I was going to do!! I am getting the brand new C Class Coupe AMG line which has a measly 180 odd BHP and it is a diesel which I have never owned. Delivery will be in a couple months I believe and I have until then to sell my car. I am contemplating remapping my car to stage 1 in the meantime but I don't know if it is worth the cost of getting the APR one done at amd tuning, will i just be more upset? Will i love it and rag it for 2 months and get it out my system? I am not sure, let me know what you guys think. I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their help, I am sure I will be back one day but for now this is goodbye I suppose. I will post my car and spec up on here in the relevant section once I have a delivery date for my new Mercedes (i may have to be cheeky and see what a remap could do for me on this and revert it to normal once returned on the merc but we'll see). Do I remap the audi in the meantime? Will it be that much more amazing than I know already? Let me know if the £600 or so is worth it and if I could potentially squeeze some of that out of someone once selling it.
Thanks again all of you, especially you S3Alex, you have been a big help!!
