Just quickly nipping back to the brakes - thought this might amuse.

It was the best picture I captured of the brakes glowing red (only faint in this shot) on my friend's car on a fairly cool day at Bedford - the picture is taken on one of the intermediate straights, so probably 110-70, and not the most demanding stop. Shame I couldn't get anywhere near the longer straights.  :driver:

Dave, out of interest, and slightly off topic, but are there any performance cars that come with very good brakes as standard? I know the brakes on the M3 came in for criticism for a long time, and seemingly Audi aren't fitting particularly good brakes to the RS cars...

Anything Porsche generally stops well even on the OEM discs and pads.

I think that's the MTM exhaust


http://www.mtm-online.de/en/Audi/RS3-Sportback/2-5-TFSI-250-kW-340hp-quattro?FZID=RS3SB250Q&KIT=m-rs3end25bqk2

That is a complete joke!!!  :surprised:  Anyone who pays best part of £3k for a rear diffuser on a hatchback needs a straight jacket :stupid:

All you need is some tit to run in the back of you, or even worse - someone who realises what it's worth and decides he and his screwdriver want it more...

I thought the BMWP CF diffuser was a joke at £1k...  :surprised:

At least they only charge £400 to fit it though..  :stupid: :signLOL:
