Although I really do not intend to play spoil sport to your excitement but do think about the planned mods once again. We at tbhp are well aware of Skoda's after-sales and God forbids if anything goes wrong with your superb I am sure they will have reasons and excuses to void your car's warranty due to the mods, even when they might have nothing to do with it. Regards. | |

Thanks. So 245 are indeed available. Good. Somehow couldn't find the 245/40 17 on the michelin.in site. Quote:

All in all, this Superb looks like a VFM alternative to an A6 to me ![]() Last edited by entropy : 4th May 2009 at 04:40. | |||||

| ![]() Excellent choice, and I'm afraid I've reached this thread a bit too late. I'm very surprised nobody mentioned the Laura RS at all.... |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() One of the reasons could be that the Laura vRS does not reach the magical $40k mark to qualify for import. The EVO X on the other hand, does. Besides, why import a Skoda when there are so many other choices going down that route? ![]() Last edited by ImmortalZ : 5th May 2009 at 19:35. |

![]() I'd assumed that it was coming here pretty soon, and since he entropy was prepared to wait for the 3.6 anyway, I thought he might as well wait for this... | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The Laura has a petrol variant coming, supposedly. Might not be the vRS. Besides, a 3.6FSI V6 or a 1.8TFSI L4? I'd take the V6. |

Donno how good the Laura RS is meant to be, but the Octi RS is a more than able competitor to the 3 litre Accord (prev gen)..I'd spend 8-10L less and take the RS. |

| ![]() Laura vRS (supposing we would get it sometime in future) would not have fit fully with my requirement as I also wanted ample rear leg room ![]() ![]() As I have mentioned earlier I feel Superb is like a VFM A6/5 series alternative. Last edited by entropy : 5th May 2009 at 20:42. |

Then instead of a remap why not go in for a tri-phase from viper, it will give almost equal performance gain, but even if you get a remap, there is no physical change, the only tune the ECU map which can be reset to original as and when you want. For everything else before going to them you can remove the mods and keep on original, then they cant say anything. Even if supposedly the mods damage the car in anyway then they wont know, you can just blame them ![]() ![]() | |
