Sold the 2012 and bought a 4 door auto. Really wanted the extra doors and couldn't deal with the jenky 5 speed anymore. I missed the 6 speed in my TDI which was a superb transmission. Decided to go bigger on the suspension and audio this time.

Just past 280000 km no leaks dry as a bone.

Great Build. How are the R8 coils worth the purchase? Do you notice any differences when driving?

No difference save your money by using the regular coil packs and putting savings toward the Stage1 Tune.
