Oh yeah, it does sound fantastic!!!  I lurve it  :laugh:

However, my old 3.2 TT didn't have this raspy rattle, so I can only assume this comes from the aftermarket exhaust (haven't got on my hands and knees yet to check for a hidden Milltek sticker).  Its not unpleasant, its just...erm...different!

As for the wheels....not sure what to do?  Was under the impression, as its 4 wheel drive, and I was advised to with my TT, to change all four wheels at the same time?  Is this not correct?  And if I now have 3 worn Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres and a brand new Avon ZZ3 will this not adversely affect the handling?!?!

Oh, found out tonight when looking around the car that its also got the upgraded stereo.  Found the amp under the passenger seat!   :grin: :grin:

I dont know this for fact my boss used to have one of these and I've driven it and it sounded pathetic compared to the R32 even with the same engine. I think even as standard they made the .:R sound a bit more raspy.

The R32 is FWD biased most of the time so two good front tyres would be a good idea. It starts shifting more power to the back the more it's needed, so if you are going on track day or something similar it would be a good idea to have both front and back in good condition.
