Pete's OEM+ A3 Black Edition
rdfcpete:
^^ Yeah sorry fella I wasn't 100% clear but indeed, clutch down, 1st gear engaged and you can sit foot flat and lift the clutch when you're ready.
I'm assuming it's an ECU engine protection thing, makes sense to me but also has that added advantage for launch. I may end up using it very often now :evilgrin:
One of the bosses 4.2FSI R8 Spyders' at work does this but up to 4.5k revs if I remember in all gears, until the ECU judges the engine to be warm. When he took me out in it he was driving it hard from cold and I thought his gear changes were awful :signLOL:, but he explained it bounces you back from the rev limit (around 4.5k, I forget now...) so you can't hammer the cold engine to point of instant damage.

Thanks :happy2:
Been debating S3 front & rear bumper, with Votex skirts. I'll bypass the OEM S3 skirts are they come with S3 badged sills and I don't want it badged as an S3 anywhere, for several obvious reasons.
I CBA to go through the hassle of removing the current bits and spraying/fitting, although at the back of my mind I know it'd look great in black with some new wheels.
Meanwhile, I'm 2 weeks away from a visit to Revo and committing to a BBS purchase as a birthday treat to myself :pomppomp: :grin: :jumping:

Lowered the rear a few notches, been investigating OEM and non Audi cup holders too (don't expect any easy solution if you drive an Audi).
Bought a Mini R56 OEM ash tray which I'll mod and chop to act as a capable second cup holder, which I need. Unless you drink Redbull all day, that second cup holder (left side) is pointless.

Lovely car, seen a couple of these the past week in London and look very stealthy in Black. Work colleague got an A4 not so long ago...in black :drool: Where did you get the S-Line mats from? Stealers?
