Well i picked it up tonight and what can i saw......

Pound for pound i would say it is one of, if not the best car i have ever owned. Only beating the BMW as that was 4 times expensive

Drives superbly and so so solid build quality.

VERY impressed, and as it has been remapped it goes VERY well too.....

Roll on a few trackdays me thinks

it is a useful site, about as good as it gets - nowhere near as good as PF for technical stuff as users tend to go to get work done, but pretty good all the same.

Yeah 225/45/17 is the way very close to the same overall diameter as standard 205's so no issues with rubbing or speedo etc. - much larger range of choices and better prices too I use that size, Goodyear F1, works well

I didn't like the way they handle I drove my mates black VRS a while back now, seemed nippy mind! His has been remapped (not sure what to, i'd guess the same?)


Suprised AJ hasn't cropped up yet either

thats what i have just put on mine Tiff no probs, but at Ł104 for a set of 4 Pirelli p zreo`s you cant knock them back really .

The 18" Audi Rs 6 alloys are now in the shed heavily kerbed by the missis and it handles so much better on the 17`s

no, vRS is 205/50/17 in UK

all the ones I've seen have been, and it is specified as such in the owners handbook supplied with the car.
