It's not failed matey, it slipped a few times, but now it's okay, I think it just glazed it, and it's alright now, stage 2 will destroy it apparently

360hp from that 20lt engine....

I wonder how much stronger the gbox is on the Audi RS3 with 367hp then
of course its the 7 speed DSG type tho so totally diff.
and its a £40k Car as we all know.

With clutch slip it's a bit of a lottery as we all drive completely different. Have recently had a helix uprated clutch in mine as I was getting slip under hard acceleration in 4th and 5th.

Upon removal of the old setup it turned out that it was the release bearing that had failed and was letting oil get onto the clutch plate causing it to slip.

Had similar to you Nobzilla it would be fine for a while then all of a sudden it started slipping again so got fed up of that and got the Helix.

No cause it's not 4wd but round the corners his 4wd would mean
Nothing

Weird so your saying a 4wd Car such as the RS3 wouldn't be better around the twisty bits over a front wheel drive car.... I find that hard to believe...
Ive seen the Video where they compare a Golf R to the new Cupra & its v close.
But try what they did in the Wet & it will be a diff story.

How do you drive yours in the Wet ?? all them horses thru the front only
eeeesshhh

I'll stick to the Eco Bus its got enough horses.

:funk:

4wd provides better traction. Grip is dictated by the contact between tyres and the road. A 4wd car does not have more grip, it just has the ability to limit slippage when traction is lost.

380+ is stage2 and engine is fine at that level.
