Love that brapping. There will be some interfering with themselves over that. And I think yours will go better than most.

Also interested to know where you got your coilovers/camber adjusts. Nice car mate fair play.

Yup thats right, I got them and alot more stuff from my Kiwi cuz.
 
Thanks for the kind noises guys, Alot of thought and research went into the motor, not a bridgy, its very driveable, although my wife took my 3 year old daughter out one evening, me following in the rx3 with my 2 sons, thinking all would be A OK , she stopped at the end of the road saying it shook them both to bits, my daughter in floods of tears,
 I tried explaining that she needed to drive it through the bucking or drop the clutch and rev it, but no go she could not get the hang of it.
 It pulls cleanly just bucks at 2k or  there abouts. like my 13b in the rx3 it can be driven at 1500 rpm in 5th. my only complaint is its or they are HEAVY, in comparison to the rx3,
 and I dont want to go gutting every gram as its a great road car.

They do buck as you say, It\'s a knack to just drop the clutch at the right moment then pick it up again.

My wife drove our standard S3 for the first 10 years of it\'s roadgoing. Now we\'re retired we both drive it but we both still love the car.

As the Missus says \'If any scrote nicks our Gus they\'ll bring it back and probably complain they can\'t even steer him, let alone drive him".
