A20 LEE 0 Posted July 7, 2006 Lee - let me know aht you think of the S3 when you've done the tweaking, surely it's not that bad standard. not sure if its because i'm used to a C's on coilovers but its sooo frustrating to drive. Its certainly very grippy, not even got close to having a moment yet and you do carry more speed through a corner. However carrying this speed the car is pushing wide or you turn in too tight to compensate and end up having to correct your exit line which makes you look like a novice.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 7, 2006 A fat rear ARB will sort that and more neg camber. Leave the front ARB standard. Caster is plenty on those, 7 degrees, so that's fine. Unfortunately power on understeer and snap oversteer are 4WD traits and it's weight doesn't help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately power on understeer and snap oversteer are 4WD traits and it's weight doesn't help. fitted ARB's today. Car is much better, steering feel has massively improved. Turn in is very sharp, really noticeable even changing lanes!! Hoped for better body control, which i've got but the steering improvement was unexpected and the bit i'm delighted with. Problem is i've got a new gripe, S3 recaro's are rubbish so unsupportive. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted July 11, 2006 I was thinking Jays car would be perfect for A20LEE as he doesn't love the S3 and Jay's car is the best of bost worlds. However he would have cornered the market in custon Corrados. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted July 11, 2006 this would tempt me more than any S3 http://url.the-corrado.net/b7ae66 has to be a typo tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve_16v 0 Posted July 11, 2006 Did anyone ever mention the Clio V6 in this thread? You can get them for less than £15K these days, shouldn't depreciate much either, might be a tad impractical as a daily driver though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 12, 2006 £14,500 for a 996! That can't be right.... although a few years ago, a wife sold her husband's brand new Merc SL on the trader for £50 after he cheated on her :-) So you never know.... Everyone assumed it should have been £50,000 and didn't ring, but one curious guy did though and bagged it, lucky swine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit like that wife of a Radio presenter put her husbands Espirit Turbo on eBay with a Buy It Now price of £100 or something after she found out he was cheating on her!
