Stanced A3

[crazymonkey]

well I don't know how to put this lightly but I'll come out and say it anyway....

I freakin love it!!!!!!

seriously, possibly slightly less camber at the rear but apart from that its a modern car done right.

Re Robinxr4i's post I kind of see where your going there bud but that's one mighty big sticky paintbrush loaded with tar your waving about lol. FWIW I am 3 weeks into ownsership of a 2004 A3 3.2 Quattro DSG 3dr and I love it. I bought it because it was a good price, good spec, lots of torque but above all else I wanted something understated, subtle and well built. I don't give a monkeys about status or how people perceive me I just know what I like and I like well built things lol. Could have bought something lairy like a Subaru or Mitsubishi but they're just not my bag.

That's fair enough dude didn't mean to cause offence (if indeed you took any lol), I've driven a few modern Audis and I've got a fair few mates who own and love them. I just find the driving experience a bit sterile, the build quality over hyped and the image of the brand a bit pretentious. Still I we were all the same the world would be dead boring.

Subaru or Mitsubish aren't may bag either

Hmmm, seem to have touched on a raw nerve! Anyone would think a forum is a public sounding board to express ones personal views. Freedom of speach and all that!!

You're in the wrong place for all of that free thinking malarky. Here's a summary of how this forum works, it should proves useful.

That's right we like our mods ever so slighty right wing, honest I do. Even though I'm a raging socialist ;D

[coop]

with looks like that even if its not retro now it will defo be a cult classic in the future if people keep making them look that good!! i love it, just wish i could afford one

[markbognor]

I would be very surprised to find that there was anything right wing about mr Hotwire. Totalatarian yes, right wing, i suspect not.


I rather like the Audi. Red is the new white.

[md]

meh. I'm not a fan at all of the Audi TBH, camber looks silly, wheels are too big and i think the cars look better when they leave the factory!!

[camerashy]

RR is a place for awesome. All of you, toys BACK in the pram.

Have some A3

Actually I suspect Warden Worldwise from Harry Twenty On The High Rock was based on him:



Anyone that's read it will know what I mean.


Oh, and the car's OK.

Is it just me that would rather the rear wheels to fit flish/straight!?
Imagine the tyres you would go through... ha ha

And i'd like the fronts to be cambered to match the rear! ;D

Apparently they don't wear half as bad as people think as long as your tracking is dead straight.

You wanna see what 2 degrees of camber can do to a mdified Mustang ?
I agree that balanced camber front and rear is f*****g gangsta, though.
Not a flame bait but other than dubs andMercs that naturaly do it why do scenekids/lifestylers go mad for rear camber ?

Your link is broken
Obviously rear camber on a rwd car causes alot of tyre wear, but overall most camber-discussing forums agree that as longs as your tracking is straight you don't have to change tyres once a month.
People probably go for huge rear camber on cars beacuse it's easy to do. I'm having trouble with the taunus though ;D

And on a modified mustang you'd probably want at least 2 degrees camber if you want to take it to a track

[alolympic]

Not really a modern Audi fan (although I make an exception when I hear an RS4) but that has been done very well. Paint looks awesome too.
Not retro at all though, let's be honest, but not sure if I care.......

You can get much wider wheels under stockish arches with the top of the wheel tucked under with camber.
