    Audi RS3 got the green light for production!

    Finally its settled for production!
    The Audi RS3 based on the a3 platform should be here by mid 2006.
    It will have a V6 Biturbo and quattro. Now Audi finally can compete with the ricers on small hatch-racers.
    Read all about it here.

      very exciting news...but will it have "TorSen Quattro" or "Haldex Quattro"?? That is the biggest concern I think.

              haldex is like 80% to the front. Torsen is like 10 blond virgins.

                haha nice one Ski.
                Admittedly, I just helped a friend install a new haldex controller on his VW R32 which makes it more rear-bias, and it completely transforms the car for track driving...I was impressed.
                That would be the first modification I would make to a TT or R32 or any haldex car.

                    Torsen is not compatible with the Golf chassis, it is highly likely to be Haldex, that is if we see it this year. Mid 2006 sounds too optimistic.

                      very easy...it took us about an hour.
                      but you need to buy a new controller which bolts up to the haldex.
                      Check this out Ski: http://www.eiptuning.com/eip/haldex.html that's what we used.

                            Golf V (1K) and A3 (8P) are the same car underneath the skin.
