Why audi didnt paint those rear rotor hubs is beyond me... just bought my 2018 RS3 and i cant stand the sight of them... Just waiting when service is around the corner, ordering some and having them fitted at the same time cause i do not trust myself with brakes whatsoever 🤣

Good morning, where did you get the 12V to power the LEDs? compliments
@frax77 2 күн бұрын
Check the video at 12:01....it's spliced into the 12V output from the steering wheel centre.. This is the way the company suggested it but make sure your battery has been disconnected before doing anything around airbag wiring. To be clear, do not touch the wiring that goes to the yellow plug....this is airbag only.

I admire what Toyota have done with their GR range but for me when it comes to looks it comes across as trying too hard much like the previous Type R which looked way over riced, for me these GR cars look too riced. When you talk about whether certain cars are over priced now the answer is yes they are but when you want something like these then unfortunately that’s what they cost. I’m more an Audi fan and my RS3 makes these look cheap so if you’re asking if the Corolla is overpriced then have a think about what a hot German car costs lol, one thing I will say I prefer most about my car over these is that Audi made it look tougher without going over board, they pumped the guards out to make it fatter without bolting on stuff like the Corolla in the rear, I do like the front of the Corolla though but if I was looking for a hot small car in this price range it would be the new Type R

Love mine almost had it 1 year now. To help keep those wheels clean auto glym wheel protectant spray works a treat, dont miss the centre console good reason to take less sh.t in the car. Im a corolla enthusiasts if you look at any of the "hot" version in the past the look has been subtle like you have to look twice eg SX had a small little boot extension on the seca and slight extension off the roof on the hatch and slightly different bars front and rear but tha 1.6l 4age magic, the levin sportivo only had one colour a slightly bigger wing and wheels then the standard levin of the ae112 7afte little bit underwhelming but im glad it exists, sportivo only had extensions on the front bar and side skirts no wing and again singing NA marvel 2zzge so the fact the gr has a wider stance and the bonnet buldge thats tastefully exicuted with a turbo awd setup a wing would be un toyota hot corolla if you catch my drift. Is it too quiet maybe a little but its a more unique sound then the i30N and the civic type R and the golf gti/R i hate those obnoxious poping exhausts

Hey! 2017 c43 owner here, have you had any issues with the transmission? mine has been feeling sluggish, for example, when I get in and drive off, the gear change between 1-2-3 does not feel smooth, I dont hear anything bad, but it feels like the car is just barely up to speed to shift into the next gear.
@frax77 2 ай бұрын
I did find the transmission doesn't really like being cold. I used the AMG screen to monitor the temps and let it warm up a bit before asking it to perform. From memory it's a fairly agricultural gearbox, so I'm not sure we should expect the refinement of some if the later Mercedes fleet. But to answer your question, I never had any issues with the transmission in terms of faults or breakages.
