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.

That looks very nice.  Not factory though, but should be!

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:
