Sorry to hear Killer. At least the insurance payout will help. Good excuse to upgrade.

Fuck, man...
Assuming you're fine.
I know you love your car...
I'm assuming downpipe and tune are coming off?
I went with EPL for that reason...
What do you have your eye on?

So glad to hear you're okay.

I guess in that case I would rather the dude total your car. What a fucking douche.

Time to find four more rings!

Congrats on the replacement. No mileage, one year of warranty, and Premium Plus so you got more fixings. Plus the Quattro guarantees the right motor, not that Ultra shit. The brown leather is indeed sexy

You are correct, in truth it would be a 1.5 Tune.. Trans insert is a DEFINATE, had one on the a3..super cheap and easy mod that made a huge difference. Dont know about the sway bar yet. Rethinking the Tune as well, because I have remaining warranty and a Certified Warranty need to find out if I can get away with it. The car is quick now...I could live with it...

Check out if there's an insert on Amazon...I found one that was like $30.
Tune, you can opt for the APR tune that retains factory warranty.
You can't live with it. That's what I'm here to tell you.

What is this trans insert?

Also, the APR warranty covers for the period of the factory warranty. I don't think it covers for CPO time.

Interesting! I had a pirated ABT Stage One Tune on my A3, but it was out of warranty. I will look into APR. This car deserves the best. And, you are right, I can't just live with it.
