    Brembo's from an EVO fit the A3/S3 hubs?

    The difference is that one is what they call 'Lug mounting' and the other is 'Radial mounting' I just can't remember which way round they are! Edit : I think the VAG range is Radially mounted and EVO's are lug mounted.

    VERY cheap passenger ride to the Nurburgring and Spa Franchorchamps, leaving today!

    I know it's in the wrong section really but I only ever used to post in here and a lot of people know me so... Been badly let down by a mate and I have a passenger ride going. The overnight Hull to Rotterdam Ferry, accommodation at Spa (2 nights) and return ferry are all paid for! All...

    My S3 - Please take a look!

    I had REVO on my S3, it was great but very aggressive in terms of power delivery. Loved the fast torque build up but the clutch didn't and lasted about a week before it started slipping badly. I would probably recommend a CC (Custom Code) map or an APR map (from Awesome), these are a lot...

    Besides the facelift upgrades have you got any other plans for it?

    Can't remember mate, I just remember seeing you as there aren't many S3's round here! Did you buy it from a guy in Cleveleys?

    My S3 - Please take a look!

    Hi Tom, I've seen you around, think it was on St Walburghas. I used to have a black S3 with anthracite wheels, now got a red LCR with Anthracite Compomotive MO's and my old S3 private plate, give us a flash if you see me :)

    Black 18" Offer

    How do they compare to 18" LCR Wheels? I think R32 wheels would be a similar weight if that helps...

    is this my diff about to go ?

    I have a spare, low mileage diff if you should ever need one but I doubt it would be that (but don't rule it out obviously). See if there are any fault codes firstly which may point you in the right direction but failing that, a process of elimination is king and as someone has already...

    A3/S3 Steering wheel upgrade

    The old one just prises out, be careful though. They were available on ebay from a german seller for about £12 but not sure if they are still available, other than that, from the dealers?

    A3/S3 Steering wheel upgrade

    A3/S3 Steering wheel upgrade

    This has been discussed before but I always found my S3 wheel lacking, it just wasn't chunky enough and I feel it let down the feel and quality of the rest of the interior. For obvious reasons the relationship between you and your steering wheel is a very tactile one, and for me that is...

    S3 Aftermarket Recaro Seats

    If you can't fit them yourself, get yourself certified as disabled! Piece of cake, 2 bolts, 2 plastic covers at the rear of the runners, undo 3 connectors and they slide out. The bespoke Recaro subframes are a direct replacement for the A3 subframe.
