Too bad it's a TDI, otherwise I'd smash that.

It looks good nonetheless

Well, it's no racecar, but it can be surprisingly nippy when you need it to be. IMO most of these Audis really come into their own with TDIs - plenty of torque, great motorway economy and comfort. 

The front LEDs are really killer, aren't they?

 

@vinyldash303

Actually, I've been thinking of buying another set of alloys because it would make changing winter and summer tyres much easier. And maybe some 17-inchers would not be such a bad idea for summer tyres.

I don't mind electric cars but moving all of the controls (including the turn signals) to the huge screen is just going too far. And the completely flat dash imo even takes away from the aesthetic of the car.

The only time we'll see two canadians on the grid: during testing

honestly FUCK goatheads. my bike went flat once because of them, so i took them out and ended up replacing the tube because i had no tire patches, inflated it, took it out another day, and what do you fucking know, my bike goes fucking flat again, from the same problem. why the fuck are goatheads a thing like all they do is destroy bike tires with one little micrometer wide puncture.

Aside from your pump destroying itself, sending metal through the power steering rack, and destroying that as well.

Plenty of pumps will turn themselves off to prevent damage when it senses no liquid.

@RevoltTrain if you plan on getting forza motorsport 7, there's some very good news for you. turns out it's confirmed the honda prelude is gonna be in the game, both the 4th gen and 5th gen, i know you were a huge prelude fanboy, now you can technically get to drive it.

Yeah thats not gonna happen with a power steering pump.

There we go, mod list complete.

 

 

Stage 2+ power, 18 psi tapering to 17 at 6700RPM. Should yield 320 ish to the crank, 380 torque at the crank, 300 to the wheels with 320 torque at the wheels, I'm sort of making a guess at it based on other Stage 2 tunes. Those 255s and upgraded rear motor mount should help the car launch a lot harder.

 

Just a reminder that this is going to take a long ass time for me to get done, I'm going off to school and most of my money will be going to paying off the car as well as insurance and stuff.

 

I'm almost certain I will trade the car in for a brand new STI before I manage to get it all done, probably in two to three years once my credit it built up enough and I have a decent job or internship.

i see you wanna go with a turboback now. i assume texas doesn't do emissions testing?

 

and is it possible to keep the mazdaspeed 3 and get an sti as well? because i'd be deeply saddened to see you let go of the ms3 for a new car.

Pretty nice list of mods, ive come up with a list of stuff I wanna do to except its to my next car

I have ideas for my current one but idk which im actually gonna do other than 205s and a catback

[Evolution90]

R34 with a CALSONIC race kit on it.. looks a bit dumb on a road.

Mine already has Continental Pro Contacts in 235s, but I still get quite a bit of wheelspin. Hopefully those Michelins in 255 will be better. I'm probably going to have to roll the fenders with those 18x9.5s.

Texas does, it's easy to find someone who will pass you though. Plus the Cobb turbo back is legal anyway.

 

And I've literally always wanted an STI since I was a little kid. My favorite car in the whole world. I don't think I'll be keeping the MS3 but we'll see.

Ive got some pretty crap budget 195s all round which are annoying to get hold of a decent tyre for, i also currently have no traction control so I dont even have to try to get it to spin all thru 1st

idk if it treats you well i suggest you still keep the ms3 and get an sti and see which turbo car is better.

Just raced a guy in a 5.0 Mustang

 

Pretty close I think the traffic got in the way though. He was pulling hard for sure though, don't think I would've won that one, plus he had a lot of bolt ons
