I have owned a b5 Audi a4 - parts are not cheap - and they are not fun cars to work on. The front end has to come off for practically everything in the engine bay!
Cheaper aftermarket stuff. esp when buying from US or Euro countrys
Go two wheels this time, leave all those cars behind...?
Correct, can blow kisses to HSV/FPV owners and get smiles from their girlfriends! True story, the photo below was at a "CAR" bikini Wash...this is the result of what happens when you rock up in a hawt motorcycle.
I made the image small cause its massive and to not thread Hijack even more A mate of mine took the photo

Need a Learners Permit, sensible attitude and open mind to learning...Change your driving habits. Obtain first bike, learn, observe gain experience...
Then upgrade to ______cc? motorcycle. Ride sensibly, open up when you want and have fun. Superbikes actually need to be thrashed and opened up to run correctly

Pretty sure the S3 = forged internals, Troy knows a thing or two about them..
that would be my pick
APR - High Performance Development for Audi, VW and Porsche Vehicles.
"Stage I ECU Upgrade
Not only does our Stage I ECU Upgrade give you higher peak numbers of 239kw and 435nm. Gains of up to 49kw are available at Higher rpms! APR's ECU Upgrade is the best power per dollar modification for the new 2.0T FSI and gives it just the extra edge these cars lack from the factory without pushing the limits. With factory like smoothness and drivability APR's ECU Upgrade will fill the void in an otherwise excellent car. "

i could keep going?
- C32 AMG
- TRD Aurion
- CV8 Monaro
Funny , actually was looking at c32s.
Make power easy but like the m3 are getting old. Fairly cheap compared to the m3 but all have high kms. Some problems with the blowers etc
Think I need to stay away from the older euros.
Have a Pirelli gti to look at on Friday. Haven't seen one previously . Will be interesting.

What about focus xr5 with a dream science or ecu upgrade... Big power and BIG torque figure out there, and sound AMAZING!

What about a Skoda Octavia vRS?
I used to own a 2010 and they have quite a few features available in stock form! On top of that, it runs the Mk6 GTi engine + drivetrain! I picked mine up brand new for $34,900 which was cheap considering they are RRP $37,900 and ended up getting a GIAC tune. Even though the MPS is more impressive power wise, the vRS was an awesome car to drive - wiped the smile off the face of a few people and I still think it beats the MPS in overall driveability! Only downside was the seats aren't the most comfortable, in which case I nearly swapped over the Golf R seats but decided against it. Sold it to reduce some debt but 2nd hand you should be able to pick up one with low kms for 30k!
Look for 2011 models and above, they come out with Sat Nav as standard which also includes a 30gb internal hdd!
Other cars I would consider would be:
- Megane RS 225
- Golf GTI Pirelli (quite like the yellow ones)
- Audi S4 B5 (Although alot of KMs now - twin turbo 6 + awd = amazing )
