C63’s do this - most on the owners club on FB acknowledge it’s a characteristic of the cars. My old RS3 did it too, much worse, ran very aggressive front camber though. As said above tyre choice will also affect the wear rate. Continentals and Pirellis are quite soft and wear quickly; I’ve had...

Interesting reading some of these. I've had an M3 with DCT, an RS3 with DSG and two C63's with the wet clutch 7G. With everything turned up to 10 the M3 banged gears home so hard on manual changes, first time I used it in anger I thought I'd broken something :D. It was excellent in manual - the...

Is it due a gearbox oil service? When was the last one done? I'd have started there before messing about with any software.

That's a pre facelift, so unlikely to be a PPP car anyway; I'm told there were a few on the cusp of changeover. Many say that the lowered suspension on the PP is somewhat firm on UK roads, and the diffs on them are servicable, whereas Quaifes and Wavetrac are fit and forget as I understand it...

They're a bit more money, but as above, I would stick with Michelin Pilot Sport 4's. Better than the Supersport, and tbh as an all rounder in UK weather I wouldn't put anything else on my C63. I had Pirelli P Zeros on my old RS3 and they were shocking - switched to Michelin and it transformed...

Thanks for the replies folks. So I went to see the 204 last weekend and instantly loved the thunderous noise and acceleration (again). The fact people are saying the 205 sounds a little muted is off putting and whilst I will defo try and drive one the extra tech and gadgets isn’t what I’m...

Used to own a facelift W204 C63 PPP. Loved the car, the noise, the character, but got a speed awareness course, and something stupid in me started nagging, and I traded it against an RS3. I've regretted doing so ever since. The Audi is - as many describe - fast in a straight line, quick...

I've used Camskill, Tyreleader and Oponeo in the past, never had a problem with any of them other than one Tyreleader delivery taking 5 days to be delivered when it was promised in a couple; Camskill are starting to look a tad dear nowadays compared to the other two. Never really found...

Get em wrapped for sure mate. My saloon is a diamond white and the DRL's, grille, window chrome and boot chrome are all wrapped gloss black, looks so much cleaner and modern in my opinion. Welcome to the club, had mine nearly 4 months now and loving it - perfect compromise car for daily as...

Tell your mate he needs to stop living in the dark ages and buy a Faraday wallet for his keys - I had one for my Focus RS as that also had keyless entry :). You can get chinese copies on ebay (still work) for about £3 or £4 each and they'll shield your keys so nobody can pick up their signal...

Loving that white coupe :thumb:

Think that's quite optimistic. From what I saw at a recent dyno day most cars on this map make between 510 and 520 (higher figures running without secondary cats and resonators). For 540-550 I think you need headers from what I've read? Apologies if you've listed all that must have missed it on...

Found out mine had the X pipe mod and secondary cats removed; made 520 with the standard PPP map no other mods that I or previous owner was aware of, well impressed.

Cheers Seight, good to hear the encouraging feedback. It's interesting to hear the thoughts of someone with a standard car, I'm really interested to know how different the map would truly make a PPP car. A map will always have a small placebo affect, no matter how much we try and kid ourselves...

Seight? ;)

That'll be my new neighbours. They have a 66 plate BMW 118i and a Merc A class (same year), both pretty average run of the mill cars, but the way they saunter about you'd think they owned the estate. I had a Mk3 Focus RS before (and before he got there an E92 M3 and before that an Impreza...

£600 I think. Anyone know how different the Eurocharged map would be compared to the PPP map I have on mine? Doesn't feel like it needs more power tbh, I've yet to drive it and think this feels slow" :D

Think they need to concentrate on the looks. It's a capable car, have seen several videos where up to silly speeds it looks like it does a decent job of keeping up with a C63, but looks wise for me it's too over the top. If they made it more BMW M2 instead of Civic Type R I think a lot more...

My E92 M3 didn't pull to the left.

Me too but I'm not a badge snob, I just appreciate each car for its merits or recognise drawbacks. Nah, C63 black series for that cash ;) Maybe a Litchfield fettled GTR; you'd be compromising on comfort and interior, but they are bloody rapid. Drove a Lambo Huracan over the weekend...that was...
