You hear the 1*2's often mentioned as one of the best hot hatches ever, never hear that with the S3's. They have the same problem with all older Audi's, lots of grip but no finesse. At the end of the day, if you want a cruiser go for the Audi, if you want a cracking drive, go Clio. You couldn't...
A good 172 will prob be more powerful than a bad 182! They're not the most consistent engines. 182 has a better manifold. But, having been head to head with a few cars, there's f**k all in it speed wise. Interior is 99% identical, given the price difference I'd go 172, couple of mods (splitter...
No, not at all. I was lucky, had a 172 then a 182, only had one rattle between them! That was 45000 miles each, 4 track days in the 182. But interior plastics etc aren't very nice compared to the Audi. The one rattle I had was fixed in ten minutes by fiddling with the dash. If I had the choice...
My opinion, S3's are very decent cars, great build quality, great interior, great image. 182's, worse build quality, worse interior, average image, but better to drive, better brakes, better throttle response and far better chassis balance.

Can get any current Oakleys as well.
Put a pair of sunglasses up on ebay 4 hours ago, it shows up in my account but can't find it searching on ebay? Tried looking under a different account, but still can't find it, any ideas??
Cheers
Haven't got the car now, but the do settle after about 4 weeks. Better handling without screwing the ride. Apex go lower, but not a progressive spring, so ride is rock hard. Parked mine next to a standard, does look a lot more purposeful.
They cost a fair bit to get decent gains. My opinion is, you'd enjoy your car more, end up being quicker, and spend less dough by doing some driver training.

Trying to download the above program so I can use my walkman phone with iTunes, but windows doens't recognise the file type, any idea what I can do?? Cheers.
Never understood point of raising rev limit, doesn't power and torque drop off after 7000rpm in these cars? Don't the cup racers have a lower rev limit?
Doesn't left foot braking on the focus rs lock the diff?? Ie share the torque out better?? Remember seeing Chris Harris chatting about it on a video, works because it's NOT a lsd.
