Welcome mate. Any pics of the Audi?
Thanks mate,
Yeah I've got some pics, I'll attempt to upload but I'm a bit of a dummy with phones so I'll try my best!
Thanks mate,
I'm sure I'll enjoy the RS, I've always fancied one and the handling doesn't disappoint!
Had the S3 for four years, lovely car, very fast but also very heavy. Put it round a few circuits but decided to get something more suitable.
Did you track yours at all?

Welcome to the club matey.
As @imprezaworks pointed out, any mention of a girlfriend requires pic. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. :disrelieved:

Yeah I'm sure you will, can't really beat a 172/182 as a first proper track day car.
Yeah agreed on the heaviness of them, it understeered a lot even with Quattro, almost until you mash the throttle too much by which point it would get a bit twitchier at the rear, if you know what I mean? I just found the adjustability difficult to predict but straight line speed and all weather traction on the daily drive was excellent and build quality is genuinely good. Never tracked it though, with the weight I think the tyres wouldn't have lasted long. This was mine -
Think that's the best one I have of the other half (with a helmet on)!

Speed blue I believe, the best colour in my opinion.
Yeah I'd agree with all your points there, I upgraded the rear ARB which dialled out loads of understeer and balanced the chassis much more but corner speed was still low compared to the clios on track! Which brings you straight back to the weight again. It did destroy tyres apart from in the wet where I must say it was very capable.
Cheers pal.
It's an excellent rule which should be properly enforced.
Cheers for the welcome pal.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
Cheers mate!

Welcome aboard!
How's the 182 in terms of condition? Does it need anything doing straight away?
I take it you've already had a heads-up regarding the belts on the RS Clios? And probably by now, the driveshafts will be past their best - though thankfully you'll be down to just two from your previous four. :wink:
Cost wise for the parts and maintenance - these are cracking little cars for what you get. It will be interesting to see what you think of the transition from the S3.

welcome along mate
Thanks mate,
As far as condition I believe I've found an excellent example, 41k, same owner for last 10 years with extensive service history including belts, dephaser and drive shafts in the last 3 years. I did a lot of reasearch before buying but joining the forum was an excellent move as it's full of helpful people like yourself.
I'm enjoying the transition so far, the cars are poles apart, no regrets so far and I'm sure when I hit the track I'll know why I changed over.
Thanks mate,
As you well know, we're not known for are deep pockets in Yorkshire! I'd be lying if I said that wasn't a factor in the swap!
Thanks mate. Glad to be here.
Thanks pal. A Bradford man I presume. I'll keep my eyes peeled, mines a black 182.
I am now yes. I'll keep an eye out for you.
Welcome along bud :smile:
I just thought I'd reiterate, "pics of said girlfriend"
Just kidding.... it's a running thing on the forum and I've only been here a few months 😂
I'm suprised I've not been slaughtered for not posting pics of my wife... however, I think there is another rule that once it's wife's, it's off limits or something's like that..
I'm just off the read the rules again 😂
Enjoy the forum bud :up:
