No idea buddy, I would have though TT, S3, Golf, Cupra is all same chassis, but not up on my VAG stuff. I did consider RS3 or TT RS as even more bonkers in a straight line, but found the balance/handling not as good and the Golf just seems a much better bargain value for money wise.

But the new RS3 (400PS) with a stage 1 remap are doing 10.5s in the quarter mile, they are truly insanely quick things.

Interesting, I was discussing with a guy at work who’s driven both the Golf R and TTS. Said the Golf R was hands down the better driven car and just felt more fun.

Maybe Audi just dial in some dullness, I really do not know m8. All I can say is the Golf likes to be driven hard like the EVO did, you can really keep it on the power through a corner and the front-end is superb on the car, understeer is minimal.

Anyway some VBOX fun attached, when a Golf R for less than £1500 spent gives GTR levels of performance, in fact GTR beating performance you really cannot complain, especially when it can still return 30mpg in town and 40mpg+ on a run. As people requested pictures, well here ya go, not exactly a car but an accurate tool for measuring cars performance:

Ouch. You had a chance to get that new trim fitted?

it's made out of rubber that lip so it doesn't crack or anything, it was stuck on with 3M tape and held fine for a couple of months, even when scraping.. but a pothole at the pubs car park ripped it off :D

no sadly not, hopefully this weekend! very little time, requires removal of airbag, removal of steering wheel and then refitting all new trim bits.. a good hours worth of work.
 
First time I removed the airbag from my wheel was a faff, seeing as you can’t see anything you’re completely doing it by feel... and being the first time you don’t know what you’re feeling for! Now though it’s easy as anything.

Quick tip, keep the blade perpendicular to the steering wheel, and use as wide a tip as you can just to give the greatest contact area on the clip.

@grudas

I take it you know how to remove the airbag safely etc.? (Disconnect battery, screwdriver in the holes behind the wheel...)

yeah I've done it before :) I tried taking the spokes off and refurbishing them but the plastic was so brittle it just snapped again.

it's a bit of a faf I agree but I got it out after a few minutes.
