Picked this up two nights ago for very cheap!

Sold my Civic Coupe for a profit, and snapped this up!


Goes ok, would benefit from a remap of somesort though!

Very happy with it for the money!

(Photos dont do the paint any justice - it is VERY red in person)

True.

Although i kinda prefer it to the Civic TBH as its more neutral instead of just death-understeer.

Yeah you can definately tell what it's going to do

I found mine the worst when throwing it into an apex etc would just completley go all stroppy and scary

Always wanted to drive an S3 for a suspension comparision...the TT's i've driven were a lot better too.

A3 standard is shit, with the coilovers and anti roll bars even with 19's ours stuck to the road superbly.

Good news! At least it can be made better unlike some cars
