    Anyone here have their S3 at R-Tech or has recently?

    Seen a vid and a post on R-Techs page about a 445bhp S3 with a new FMIC (peron) which is apparently performing very well. I think its running a LO4XX? Just wondered if you were in here :icon thumright:

    Incoming Daveb Bbk - Anything Else I Need?

    My kit (TTRS calipers / AP discs) should be with me this week, hoping to get it fitted next week. The alloys I have are 18" TD Pro Race 1.2, so I believe I need a 5mm hubcentric spacer to be on the safe side, anyone got any links to places they have bought their spacers from? Is there anything...

    BCS Exhausts

    Anyone have one fitted to their car, particularly the powervalve system? I like the idea of the powervalve system which is fairly standard running 'off boost' but sounds a bit more sexual when 'on boost', as below; Thoughts on build quality, noise etc? It sounds like it ticks the...

    Picked up my S3 this morning + Build Thread

    I was active on this forum some time back when I had an A3 8L T sport, was a cracking car but I sold that on and moved up to a leon K1 which was stage 1 with an ITG induction kit. The K1 was nice but I had a bit of drama with it which took the edge off of owning it unfortunately. The car...

    What DV is this?

    Any ideas, had it fitted some time ago, maybe a few years I think :uhm: I'm guessing it isn't a 007p...? I have been away from these forums for a good few years and heard the lastest buzz on DVs (after reading for a few hours lol) is the 007p. To be honest what drove me here is...

    A3 install pics - part 2

    soundproofing has finished so i though i would share a few of the pics being german the A3 isnt exactly tin but did benefit from a few layers of dynamat extreme, other folks sometimes go for flashing tape (if you're doing the job on a tight budget), from my previous experience with that stuff...
