It's the definitive version of the car. It's drop fucking dead gorgeous; it's on my top 3 list of perfect "attainable" sports cars. I stand here humbled from my previous "it deserves better" comment lol. I'm pretty sure if you dug through my post history I've sung this car's praises- in...
It was me who said the car deserved better. The comment was tongue-in-cheek; there's been some ephemeral members on these forums that pop in with a list in their sig block that's 12-15 cars long. I think it's cool as shit that the OP got some closure by his successful journey of finding the...
I don't notice any wind noise in this car. Probably something similar going on.
Also FWIW, my wife's Macan had a similar situation where suddenly I was noticing this whistling wind noise... it was a damn leaf. It doesn't take much apparently.
Yeah looks about right now from these pics. Either it was an optical illusion in your earlier pics or you had JUST finished installing lol.
Looks great :thumbsup:
It's not shown in your pictures but there was an OEM optional alcantara steering wheel. Just in case you weren't aware, all Type S's come from the factory with the exact same equipment, just different colorways for the interior and exterior. Anything after that is a dealer installed option. The...
It's always been wild to me how someone can go through an enthusiast car so quickly before moving on. Even with my car-hopping history I never kept a car less than 6 months and that only happened twice... This car deserves better than to be cycled out at 2000 miles. Urban Grey is a new color for...
Your alcantara center console is aftermarket, so win there.
Wheels are OEM though but the copper color was an option and looks fantastic, but the center caps look powdercoated and is also a nice touch. Also can't fully tell from the pictures but to me they look like there may be spacers...
I also understand that the RS3 is an imperfect car, and that's precisely the reason I don't have one in my garage right now. In my mind, an RS3 would make a perfect "daily" for me, and also one I could rip up an autocross course in occasionally. But it wouldn't be my primary fun car because of...
See? This is how to "be different" with wheel choice in a creative and still dope way. This car looks fantastic.
(context: some dude on the civic forums trying to figure out if he could slap a set of wheels off a BMW X5 on his FL5 because "it's not what everyone else is doing")
That said, one...
Lol.
As an aside, thanks for being a good sport about my ribbing. Some people would have gotten defensive and thrown a temper tantrum. I like the cut of your jib.
Back to reality, I do actually have strong emotions around the Audi RS cars. I've loved them since the first time I saw (and heard)...
THE RS5. GTFOH.
No seriously, this post is ban worthy.
That car actually invokes negative emotions for me now. It does NOT belong in this conversation.
It's not a sports car. I'm going to go out on a limb now and say it's in a class of poser cars for people with more money than sense that...
2500-3000 rpm made me shudder a bit. Is this video relevant?
If so, maybe it will ease your anxiety to know that it's very common (some would argue universal), inherent to the platform, and there is no known fix (aside from an aftermarket turbo).
My personal situation was I kinda figured...
I like the car. I'd consider it, but as someone already mentioned- no rear seats is non-negotiable.
And yes I think I like the Supra better, but I'd drive both. M2 also would be in the mix... but honestly I'd probably pick an F87 M2 over all of them. Especially a CS. Manual. In blue with gold...
Lol, you clearly haven't seen my full post history hahaha.
I try to keep it classy, but fail sometimes. But it goes both ways. I'm active on here mostly out of boredom but also shared interests... I love chats like these but also I get annoyed pretty easily with takes I think are dumb, and I'm...
B9.5 was 2021 and up right? I had a 2021 RS5 which I knew was the B9.5- but I traded a 2018 S4 AND a 2017 911 C2S 7MT in on it. Again- I thought it would be the perfect compromise and allow me to convert 2 vehicles into 1 as I had to start paying for 2 extra vehicles for each of my teenage sons-...
All good. We all go through this as enthusiasts. I'm not here to talk you out of it or into it. They're both very good cars, but they do have different profiles for what they're very good at.
I've grown to like the M2. But very important note- I haven't driven one. I actually just saw a video...
It'd be great if we had access to the full parts list and specs of how these cars are dialed in for competition. But I highly doubt that level of detailed information would be publicly available. The closest we can come to is this...
Yes. Unequivocally.
I'll give you a quick TL;DR rundown. I'd suggest pulling up claude or chatgpt to get a detailed breakdown if you're interested.
There's also this amazing video by one of the best in the biz...
Yeah those look fantastic. They were actually my first choice but I just couldn't stomach the wait.
My vote is springs. I don't like the muscle car look by using tires to fill the wheel well gap, could be just me but IMO doesn't fit the vibe of this car. Someone did this and it didn't look bad...
