Re: new 15 Plate Audi TT
Audis need to be 4wd which that one wasn't,especially since the latest system brings a wellcome neutrality to the handling. TBH most enthusiasts would be better off with the S3 than the TT.It has the 4wd plus it's 300ps,base price just over £30k. Daughter has one,lovely classy interior and it seems ...

Re: FOR SALE: MR2 AW11 MK1b, Silver, 52k miles, history, Koni yellow suspension etc
You are being honest about the situation,which is great,but I would advise you need to take it a stage further. Get 2/3 estimates from body shops to make good the damage and state how much these are,you can then adjust your pre-accident price properly downwards to reflect this.Since your car has a m...

Re: DIY respray of the whole car - crazy or a good idea?
Do NOT attempt to paint one panel at a time if the paint is a metallic colour,you will most likely end up with each panel a different shade.
With a flat colour it's possible.

This looks a great car for the money.
Just one question,which should assist any buyer in making their decision,any idea how much a recon gearbox might cost?

I think I like your car a lot more now that I can see it's got a scale change button for the fuel guage...just like my 2.8i Supra many years ago .

Re: MR2 v jaguar wow !!!!!
Sorry to burst you bubble but I thought most petrolheads would know that a N/A Jag v8 is not very fast with all that weight and an old design auto box....add the supercharger and they then have reasonable turn of speed.

Re: Any comments on this?
It's an early one, so won't have a rear ARB, which means terminal understeer everywhere. It won't make 190bhp either. No mention of ABV being blanked off either, so won't be making the most of the extra boost. Nankang tyres says that they aren't clued up about handling, especially so because they'v...

Re: Rev 3 NA Vs TT Quattro (Mk1 i think with 2 exhausts)
Nerdish info for you to impress your mates with, Matt...
The baseball leather was only on roadsters,not coupes.
The lower power models with single exhausts also had only one intercooler,the higher power models had twin i/c's.
