Do these fit straight into the A3, or are modifications needed do you happen to know Daleek?
Ta.

Had some fun with weather induced oversteer with the SV2 winter tyres on the front. They really are excellent and allow you to correct most stuff anyone could get wrong around town in these conditions. Possibly the best £200 I've spent in one go.
Been discussing stage 1 maps with various people and looking at some wheels too. Turinis are more or less up for sale :popcornsoda:

...Turinis have now sold which clears way for some wheels :smiley:
Few pics from weekend, opportunist snaps;
^ Stance needs bit of work still.

Found out last night you get free launch control in the later VAG diesels with the 6MT gearbox, where the car restricts the revs to no more than 2500k when sat at 0 MPH, which is great for quick starts. So you can sit, clutch down, 1st gear, foot flat and release the clutch when you're ready :laugh:
It's literally nearly identical to the DSG LC function, so I did a few nippy starts before the temperature was below 0 celcius and it actually worked quite nicely as the winter tyres searched for grip.
Pretty impressed with that :party:
5 months later, another cool feature. Hopefully there shall be more...

I found this out when my car was at Shark being mapped last year. I haven't actually tried it as a launch control though. Might have to give it a go. I take it it works only when you have your foot on the clutch?
