I think around January these will be £20k. Plenty of time to save, and a nice platform for APR stage 3+ :party:

There is a hybrid KO4 making over 400 now, I was in a 415BHP MRC tuned stage 1 DSG RS3 the other day and thats fast enough.

Quite why you'd want more than that in one of these cars is beyond me...

Would it be 10k more awesome than a 400 BHP one.

Expect a reliable 400BHP KO4 S3 very soon

Expect a reliable 500BHP 2.5TFSi RS3 yesterday

The stage 1 RS3 was bloody impressive, nothing OEM this side of a muircielago would keep with it, went around corners too.

So back on topic

I'd rather have a 23k plus 4k tuning budget to get to 400BHP than a 23k car and a £10k spend to get to 500 BHP.

In addition the 400 BHP could be done pretty much in an afternoon

agreed, i could never spend £10k on my car in one go however when i stripped and sold parts for my last car i ended up with £11k for the car + £7500 for the mods :laugh: i was sure i had spent £5k max on tuning  :stupid:

btw you had chance to read my pm re: discs
