    S3 upgraded rear brake discs advice??

    It does come into it's own in cold / wet conditions. Regular M3 / 911C beater but as soon as it's above 10 degrees it's goodbye my bond!

    S3 upgraded rear brake discs advice??

    I was using Brembo discs and pads on the stock calipers up until a few days ago, they were fine for road use but utterly useless on the track. Have stuck with the stock calipers and brembo discs but upgraded to EBC Yellow stuff pads all round and the transformation is quite spectacular. Haven't...

    How much oil should my S3 8p burn?

    Mine used to burn about a litre every 1,500 miles or so when I first purchased it. Since it's been run on VPower and Castrol Edge for a couple of years paired with an inlet clean I find myself checking it every 6 months (3k miles) and giving a small top up as necessary, no longer a concern of mine.

    Instrument Cluster wiring - Help :(

    Hey wright, Did you resolve the problem in the end? I had the exact same intermittent fault with my car, had the cluster tested twice and fine, bought a spare from eBay to test and no joy either with that with only now the cluster doesn't work at all and has immobilised the car. I'm suspecting...

    Warning lights galore!

    Hey guys. Sorry for being quiet. Car battery has been tested and is operating as new. Fob battery replaced and the problem persists. I think I've isolated it to the immobiliser chip in the instrument cluster. This was sent away for repair and was returned today however still no luck. Does...

    Conti 5's vs Conti 2's vs Eagle F1?

    I have Eagle F1 Asy 2's all round on mine and I have to say they are an excellent tyre in most conditions including the odd bit of snow and have worn remarkably well, a testament to their build quality. I usually buy mine off the back of Evo magazine's annual tyre review and as they quite...
