Mk7 R Build thread now up
Mitch H:
plus my personal opinion but I think the 7r is a very ugly car.
dansmith180:
Of the two it'd have to be the RS3 for me, they need a few mods to look their best really but with those and a few easy mods you've got a real weapon and a rare car.
Be a shame to see such a mint ED30 go though, hopefuy it stays on the forum and the next owner loves it half as much as you :happy2:

A few years ago a member on here, Oli, had that particular RS3 and its prop went bang after a couple days of ownership I think....while standard, no map IIRC. I believe that issue now gets sorted with uprated bolts.
Be no point getting a car with Launch Control and not being able to abuse use it. :innocent:

Evening Martin - I must agree with many of the others your ED30 is a top dollar!
I've started looking at both 7R and the RS3 to give myself an idea of what spec brings what price and which colour is in demand - this chap comes across some interesting motors

I would go with the old rs3 over the 7r definitely.
the 7r is a great car and a little lighter and probs more fun in the twistys. but as somebody else mentioned (without sounding like a boring r32 owner going on about noise) the 5 pot sound is brilliant, when I drive my dads rs3 then get back in my ed30 with bcs mine sounds like a hairdryer compared to it :laugh:
the old rs3 really held its money well, I think the 7r will de value quite a lot as its just another 4pot turbo and theres plenty more of them to come :happy2: both great cars though.

Aesthetically the Mk7 STILL hasn't grown on me yet but its epic car with a map and im sure with a few cosmetic tweaks id get over any reservations.
The RS3's 5 pot is gorgeous and with a decat Powervalve TBE and any decent CAI on board it would bring many Smiles per Miles to anyone in the car (except SWMBO who thinks I really need to grow up :laugh:).

Thanks bud, too kind! :love:
After all this chat I'll probably end up with a Mk6 R! :signLOL:

IMO the MK6R just isnt enough of an improvement on what you have already. Unless you are hell bent of burning everyone off at the lights.
