Nice colour, that. It must go well, as well!
As I am not really into German cars, does anyone know why they only make/made it in a 5 door...?

Figured it's to do with not stepping on the TTRS sales with a 3dr

I have a set of cat Bypass pipes to go on then it is as follows

New tyres
Updated ARBs
H&R springs
Loba hpfp
Intake
Uprated inter cooler
Remap

Possibly the Loba LO500 upgraded turbo depending how long I keep it as I'm fancying an R8 S tronic next

Hoping for 400+ bhp?

Should be pretty achievable with the plans.

Quality motor. Ignore the morons who slate the vag cars on ph-when you look in their "garage" they usually drive crap ecoboxes. Lol

The r8 is quite a leap up though, but beautifully made.

That looks sweet. Very nice. And that's coming from an M135i owner...

Yes, disregard what someone says because they have a subjectively worse car than you despite not knowing what circumstances they live under or what they prioritise. If I could afford a Ferrari then I'd have one and you wouldn't be able to say st but seeing as I can barely afford to run the Corsa I have I'm not allowed to say a word. LOL.

Anyway, I love the colour on this, really suits it. Looks menacing as anything in the first picture as well.

Looks like it'll be an absolute weapon after the mods you've planned as well OP.

The colour really suits it.

Do these have a similar haldex 4wd setup to previous A3s? i.e. they're mostly fwd, with up to 50% going to the rear when needed?
