The spoiler is a Honda part from the Japanese Type S.

Those pictures do it far better justice

Still at odd to the lines of the car but it suits the front end there!

See, you will all come to like it in time.

I know exactly what I'm doing

sigma · 1 Sep 2014 at 18:43

It does look a bit less retarded as a Type S.

Still looks cack from the rear IMO, but hey what does it matter what I think..

I saw the car in person on saturday.

I approve.

The new family wagon, Audi A3 sportback 1.4 SE 140ps :eek:

Current mileage

No other pictures but just imagine any other Black A3 and your there

The engine surprised me just how nice it is in comparison to the blandotastic golf 2.0 tdi it replaced. Much better power deliver and so quiet, could do with a bit more umph at the low end of the rev range but cant complain at this engine size!

Give it time to run in.

For an S2000, a lip looks far better than a wing when having subtle changes, but if you're going for the full Turbotoaster, a big wing - e.g. The Amuse GT1. All my opinion though.

Did he finish that car or did it end up in China due to having so much downforce?

For the record Rich.. Dat wing looks....

Here's a link to the thread he keeps updated. Seems to work better than we were all expecting.

You want to see it with the roof down mate?

looks good!!!

I should have showered it with my bag of rice. would have made the pic perfect

edit: do you know what Wizzo was driving this time? as I remember at spring LAN he had his giant f150 pickup or what ever the hell that monstrous thing was!!! xD

Another before I take it back tonight to get Subaru to sort the blemish on the hood and overspray on the trunk... and scratch on the trunk and scratch on the bumper.... sigh.

Looks epic in that colour. I saw one today on Swiss plates and was surprised at how small it looked - they seem to be going against the trend of making each model vastly larger than the previous one.

Jez · 2 Sep 2014 at 16:56

What made you go from a BMW to a Subaru? I know thats much newer but i think i'd have stuck with another 3-series as you had here before emigrating?

acemastr · 2 Sep 2014 at 17:33

second hand cars here are 150k miles +, I loved my E46, I miss it daily but the mpg and repair costs would be crazy here. (ok gas maybe not so much but it wouldn't be getting over 20 mpg UK over here)

The subaru is brand new, hassle free motoring for 3 years.

I wanted < $30k, not FWD, a bit of power and some goodies to play with. This ticks those boxes perfectly and the handling is second to none, surprises me infact.

Some more of the Evo, I'm not a massive fan of the half leather.

With my old EP3 in the background, loved that car.

Some standard kit.

rjk · 2 Sep 2014 at 18:54

Nice. The wing is probably a bit much though.

I see what you did there!

The HKS hard pipes are standard too! I've only added the HKS induction to keep the theme going as the full exhaust system is a HKS Super Drager from the factory.

Why would you be getting bad gas mileage from a 330ci over there? Surely the cheap gas makes them even cheaper to run than they are here in the UK?

I dont really get the change, the US used market has tons of cars on it, loads look absolutely mint too and loads seem very well specified, on average far better than we get here?
