Sold , it's not worth me skimping on £100 , when the cost of a new wheel , brake disc, brake caliper , ect will be ten fold if it fu*ks up!
Cheers

I was thinking H&R Hubcentric or FK Hubcentric the difference is around £100? basicly are you paying for the name or are they WORTH double the price?
leon
I'm thinking of getting 10mil spacers alround for my car , i know enough to go down the hubcentric route , but do i need to buy a expensive make?
The H&R spacers are £200 for 4 inc bolts, or can i use a CHEAPER brand of hubcentric spacer?
Is it worth paying the extra just coz there H&R? or...
Where has Jajack got too?
Some of the words to descride him are spot on , but i miss his crazy one man against the world style debating! funny!:cool:

To be fair i don't think anybody ( in this thread ) has slagged off the 197 , peeps who have mentioned the 197 , have said it's has better build , and handles better than a 1*2 , but lacks the raw feel!
You have to asume he's spent some money on coilovers/dampers springs and ARB's so his S3...
Ive sort of done it the opposite way round mate, i had a Clio 182 ( faster on paper ) than a 197 , but the 197 build is better, and handles better!
After a brief fling with a Mk 2 Cupra i bit the bullet and bought a 8p S3 ( new one )
The interior is a different galaxy , and your 8l ( old one...
^^^^^LOL agreed DICKY comes on every week and ask's will so and so beat my 172 , and if we say yes or it'll be close he never has the race!
Wheres the pride in me saying a fiesta ST was left floundering up the slip road, round a roundabout , uphill for 200 yards and round aother roundabout...
R26 for me , faster , bigger , better tuning ability .
The choice is yours tho, test drive em both , remember tho if your not used to a turbo it will take a bit of getting used to , you may not get the best out of it on the test drive!
leon
Just have a blast with him , so what if he beats you????? he's not gonna leave you standing....it's a bit of fun between mates!
Don't lose any sleep over it DICKY.

Hiya mate, i took time out of my day to give you sound , good natured advice on what i think you could do with the car , i even gave you a analogy on me passing my driving test later in life!
This is a internet public forum , we don't know anybody from Adam ,( unless we have taken time out to...
As above sat 8th march 12ish down the back road ( new road ) between Irlam/Cadishead , they were pressing on , so was i coming the other way , i'd just been to Awesome. It must be someone on here?
leon
Two choice's my mate!
1 - learn to drive ASAP
Your unkle will be so proud of you that his legacy lives on in the family:cool:
( i started driving late in life , not driving never botherd me at all , then one i just thought " i want to learn to drive " 6 months later i passed first time )...
It is a expensive car, i can't pretend other wise , but the cars in it's class are 19-21k list price ( not got a clue on the specs ) then you have the R32 25k. these prices are before options, then you have your own deal to strike/dicounts, that is also the case with the 26k S3.
leon
For your 26k you get xenons, heated leather seats , decent cd player , and 4wd , it's not a poor std spec!
I you want bluetooth, satnav, Bose , MFFBSW , 6 cd changer , recaros , arm rest , ect , ect you have to pay!
leon
No probbs mate, i know you wasn't, if you asked me a year ago what car i wanted within reason i would of said 225 with cup pack and the toys!
My circumstances changed . so i looked futher afield!
