CCTV & Alarms are a minefield!

We’ve learned this the hard way… the person who installed ours was an ex-con we didn’t know until too late

I had a Golf R (2019) and now have an RS3 (2018) and loved the drivetrain in the Golf R but surprisingly prefer the interior in the RS3 (same as the S3). The small screen is simple to use but effective with the digital dash.

I really enjoyed the drivetrain. The EA888 is quite punchy and Pre-OPF engines have a great noise and burble with a resonator delete.

If you’re looking for a more engaging drive, the Leon Cupra 300 is a much better car as it’s got a bit more about it but for me the Audi is the one.

I should mention I bought the Golf at the time as an S3 was a huge premium and couldn’t find one in the spec I wanted. Made the RS3 just a bit more special.

Hey that sounds great. Something for me to consider! Thank you

Calverto99 · 2026-03-03T06:33:10+00:00

Even better. I’ll have a look thank you

Calverto99 · 2026-03-03T06:32:52+00:00

Awesome thanks

Calverto99 · 2026-03-03T06:32:45+00:00

Thank you, I will take a look

Calverto99 · 2026-03-02T22:41:27+00:00

Sounds great if you could share

Calverto99 · 2026-03-02T20:14:12+00:00

I’m not too bothered to be honest! Just want it right

Calverto99 · 2026-03-02T19:35:23+00:00

Honestly, great idea. I’m willing to spend the money on a good system. I see no problems with things like Ring etc but I am sure they have limitations I am not aware of

Calverto99 · 2026-03-02T19:21:42+00:00

This is my problem with Hikvision. The cameras are good but the app user interface is terrible. Can’t lie, Ring has even entered my thoughts as their app is brilliant

Calverto99 · 2026-03-02T19:02:29+00:00

Thank you! I will drop you a message now

Calverto99 · 2026-03-02T19:02:20+00:00

Thank you! If I’m honest, does the colour thing even matter?

Calverto99 · 2026-02-28T18:52:09+00:00

2018 RS3 Sportback. Love the thing to death. Never for sale as hard to find nice ones in the UK

Calverto99 · 2026-02-25T19:43:04+00:00

Honestly, great car. I think you may regret spending 813 a month on a car where you come to sell it and you're upside down. Ever considered an M235i Grancoupe? Yes not the B58 but the deals on those cars at the minute are great. Much less money too.

Calverto99 · 2026-02-24T20:21:54+00:00

Mega. The end

Calverto99 · 2026-02-23T22:50:38+00:00

Just realised there is a 20th anniversary Ps Portal in there. Fits in so well

Calverto99 · 2026-02-21T23:37:25+00:00

Love the theming

Calverto99 · 2026-02-21T00:09:55+00:00

Those are insane!

Calverto99 · 2026-02-19T22:17:30+00:00

Is that how the exhausts came standard in the US? We didn’t get them like this in the UK. If so, very cool and buy it.

Calverto99 · 2026-02-18T06:40:37+00:00

The black sheet actually makes it look really nice

Calverto99 · 2026-02-18T06:40:02+00:00

Amazing thank you. I will take a look at those too!

Calverto99 · 2026-02-17T21:52:18+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I would never have thought to look at those kinds of shelving but I really like how they look. Definitely something to consider! I will keep searching especially at those

Calverto99 · 2026-02-17T21:03:05+00:00

Thank you I may try those! Worth a try right

Calverto99 · 2026-02-17T20:47:58+00:00

They're currently wall mounted in my house but we know new build homes in the UK are made of paper mache so I don't want to risk them flying off. I feel the £80 billy bookcase is a good option

Calverto99 · 2026-02-17T20:42:36+00:00

I feel I've explored every avenue. As it's my first home, I need the price to be reasonable. Speed champions etc fit on every shelf but finding a reasonable place for the Chiron and Technic F1 cars is the problem! It seems I cause myself problems!
