I think as I can't decide I may just sit on my hands for a while. I often go through phases of driving attitudes, one day I want to scare myself silly and the next potter about like my mother. I'm not sure I will get what I really want from an s3, but that said I need to drive a couple more...

I'm afraid not. I think at the end of the day if the money is in the bank then I can get an s3 in a couple of months. If the s3 in on the drive then my choice is final. Thanks for the inputs guys. The 8 yr old in me would have bought it already...

guys any takers on the a3 compared to s3 0-60 etc wise I know its not the be all and end all but it is surely a good indicator.

Well realistically I think I have 10mm with 1 passenger to spare so there isn't really any room to lower :-( unless I park and walk

the only fly in that ointment is that I have a ramp to get into work and I couldn't lower it with out rubbing on the concrete. Arb would def be on the list with discs and pads and a phase 1. But I can get an impreza for the s3 money. My life is so hard! And a house would be nice too.. hmmm a...

52 reg 1.8ts not Q, 55k miles - mine Dolphin grey ( I love that colour!) approx £4k on open market? s3 was 02 reg 73k miles £8.3k from a dealer with 6 month warranty http://lillyandconstable.com/index.php?page=stocklist page 5

I can, but I suppose this is really the question. Is it worth 4.5k? A lot of money in most books.

well that depends on what I'm spending on tbh. Not really an answer, I know, but I wouldn't want to spend much more than 1k on modding which I think is what your getting at?

Dani if your not mapped have you pitched your car against a mapped a3? I would expect the s3 to be a little quicker but not massively given the losses through 4x4. I'm looking for some magnanimous advice please chaps/ettes

Greetings I am in somewhat of a pickle. I can't work out what to do, I am bored of my standard a3 18t. Now I have been looking at getting an s3. I took one out the other day on a test. The tires we pants so the handling was awful but that aside the extra power was noticeable but not...

I have heard that the one in t. wells are *****. they ordered an arb for a friend's octavia, ordered one for the new model, his is an older one. When he returned to get it they wouldn't give his money back as they said that they would be able to get it to fit if he paid them to. He said it...

are there any laws surrounding brake pads that could come into question here I'm assuming that the ds2500 are perfectly legal. But you know what they say ASSuME

Bingo, oh so obvious now

I may be missing something rather obvious here, but I have a 1.8t A3 and can get near 70 in 2nd I'm sure. I, of course, assume we are talking MPH or have I answered my own question?

I'l quickly hijack this thread. I am looking at uprating my sus 8l 1.8t. now to get into my car park at work I have about 10mm to spare as I pass over a crest into the undergroud. And that is with me on my own with three people in she will scrape.. Are there kits avail that keep the car the same...
