This post is an edit of and edit of an edit so if you search this in 6 months time, only this first post will make sense, and maybe some of the later ones! I just wanted to clear up the S3 top speed thing. You can see the gear ratios in the picture below, they are for a standard S3 6 speed...

....Not! The closest English translation is "Quattro is for wimps". (A Warmduscher is someone who will only take warm showers) You all know I like a gentle dig :laugh: The car will around Reading/Berkshire until April then in Nurburg until Autumn so give me a beep if you see me! :racer:

So, I sold the A3 tonight. Someone came and took it away, and I hope they'll look after it as much as I did. But I got a new car. Its got more bhp, its got a bigger engine. Better brakes, better handling. In fact, its one of the best handling cars available, some magazines even call it THE...

As some of you know I've been doing some brake investigations and I think I've pretty much found the best setup for A3/S3's. I've spent a LOT of money to finally come to a brake setup I think is more than adequate, so far I have tried: Discs: Audi OEM Discs EBC Turbo Groove Discs Mintex...

Spent a whole 9.99 on the car and fitted some smoked side repeaters. Almost makes them invisible, so I like them! Car has the track wheels on it right now for this Rolling Road next week so I can compare like for like on the rollers, and my road wheels are 17s. As such, I tink I need to be...

OK, I've been doing this for years, as I tell the testers I have a 1991 Audi Quattro engine in my 1998 A3, but here it is in writing: http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_730.htm Test according to which is older, engine or vehicle. e.g. A 1995 car fitted with a 1991...

Can I just halt these xxxx vs Custom Code threads for a while. Custom Code. No other remap is as good. The end.

I currently have a Carbonio CAI on the car, and since the remap, and because I have a very free flowing system anyway, its very very loud. In fact most people assume its the 3.2 instead of the 1.8 I want a quieter car, what with the decat as well the noise is doing my head in. I want a...

Could I sell my car?? I dont mean 'would it sell' I mean do you think it'd be something that I could sell and cover reasonable costs with? You see, its pretty non standard which knocks the price down, so I'm debating if it is destined to become a dedicated track car or if I could sell it to...

I've been having some trouble now that the hours have changed, thus making my journey home in darkness. I have aftermarket Xenons fitted, in projector lamps, so they are very bright, but have a clear cut-off and I had my MOT 3 weeks ago, so I know that they are adjusted correctly. Anyway, as...

Has anyone here used Mintex Xtreme pads before? I have Ferodo DS2500 pads on mine right now, but changed some bits and pieces on the brakes, noticed my pads were getting low so I decided to get a new set of road pads and keep the DS2500s for my next track day. Anyway, ordered some Mintex...

In Denmark right now and this is in the car park. It has an S3 style rear bumper, but the rubber looking bit is plastic body coloured, it has the standard post facelift A3 front (sorry no pics) and completely standard A3 interior. It also has steels and they are standard fitment, not the...

Do you also have VAG-COM and can do some rough measurements for me? Simply for comparative reasons to stock FMIC intake temperatures. Basically I'd need ambient temp (from your car's DIS), and then for you to perform a predetermined run of the car, say, normal driving for 5 minutes, then...

Can you tell me, or even better post a pic of the pad contact area. Say for example you have a big brake kit, does the pad cover the entire disc, or just some of it? Just a picure of the calipers on the disc would be fine, just to see how much of the disc the pads come into contact with....

Has anyone else got a rattly Milltek exhaust? I've had mine 2 years and its started sounding like there is something loose inside, up until a couple of weeks ago it was fine. Millteks have a reputation for being awkward to fit but rattling from the backbox is unusual no? Stupid cheap muck.

I saw this product in a magazine in the states, its designed for the new A3/MkV and A4 cars, but would this approach work on an S3/Quattro? Appears to be $750 for an A4 based kit.

Saw this in a magazine I got from the states, looks a good alternative to tie arms, and £ to $ pretty much the same price. ($750) Anyone got them yet? http://www.h2sport.com/products.php?productid=817

I don't hate the S3 or you guys with them, and I'm not jealous of you, in fact I PITY you. Got the A3 back today, mapped with Texaco 95RON fuel. Suck my Salty balls: That was the first map, it has now been changed to a smoother, much less aggressive map as the power levels shown were...

My car is currently in with Storm being remapped, but I have literally just discussed replacing it as soon as I can, and getting a new car, with something I think will be a grand replacement. Bascially spent 30 minutes in the car and I have seriously never liked a car as much as this, its...

Today I recieved my FMIC for the A3/Mk4 series. I was very interested after seeing this post on VW Vortex: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3172487 So I contacted the seller and got them to send one to me. It was £279 including delivery to the UK and customs charges. (I got stopped...
