    Just bought an S3 but not sure if it's 265bhp

    Have a specialist put it on vag-com, the Maf could be on the way out, or it could be anything. As soon as I bought my S3, I took it to Jabba for a full service and a clean bill of health for piece of mind. On a private road, it does see 100+ easily. Remember that the S3 does weigh a lot, and...

    Revving

    It's on the Forge web site how to, I may go back to OEM though if it does not fix my problems :(

    Revving

    It's a servicable item as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to replace the MAF for piece of mind, then give the Forge DV a service, hopefully that will sort my boost issues too :) After that, I'm running out of options, I know the map should allow to over rev a bit, but not as much as what it's...

    Revving

    My remapped car has the exact same problem, it is annoying. But I also have the problem, where sometimes I get full boost, sometimes not. I changed the clutch switch, with no effect. VAGCOM picked up the clutch switch up as a fault, but still over revving, as it has a panel filter, next step...

    What to do?!!

    The next car I'm thinking of, after owing a an Evo, and a few Subaru's and a S2000 and a few Integra's, is a VX220 Turbo with a stage 3 conversion, completely different, plus a turbo approx 270bhp :) Got the S3 to be sensible, and am at the stage where I'm adding up all the future mods to sort...

    Car at Backdraft

    Hi Glen, Good thread starter, and back on topic. I hope it all works out well with you, and hope to see you on the track this summer, but on your bike :) Joking, hope you're happy with the outcome of the work, and look forward to a test drive ;)

    only 325 bhp!

    I followed a couple of M3's (new age) in my Evo IV RSX, I was running a hybrid TD05 with supporting mods to allow over 1.55bar, to run a max of 380Bhp and cost all in a couple of grand I think to get to that figure, and also allowed you to follow/not get over taken by M3's and the like, but it...

    S3 or RB5 ????????????????

    I owned a Wrx, RB5 WR sport with the Prodrive suspension, and a modified P1, as standard they are nothing special (p1 was), and are chalk and cheese compared to the S3. My brother now has a modified P1 and leaves my S3, but as they are getting on a bit and have been hammered, they are more...

    Bilstein B8 Shocks_decent price-AS Perfomance

    Same here, I've had 35 cars now in 13 years, I want to keep the S3, but I know what I'm like, and its never going to match my previous cars, as out the box an Evo and Subaru is ok-ish. The S3 I wanted to keep standard, but in two minds what to do, I've promised my missus that I'd keep the S3...

    Bilstein B8 Shocks_decent price-AS Perfomance

    Hello ICE, Not sure what to do, as once I add ARB's new bushes/top mounts plus the shocks and fitting, I'm looking at about £700-£800 :( Just not sure the S3 is worth it, but I don't want to change the shocks, then change the ARb's at a later date at an additional cost. Atm, in...

    Coilovers value?

    If they are PSS9 coilovers, I was looking at a low mileage set on ebay for £450, I think they were less than a year old with a few thousand miles on them, hope this gives yoiu an idea of value :) You could sell it on Pistonheads, this is where I've had most success in selling modified cars.

    Bilstein B8 Shocks_decent price-AS Perfomance

    I'm going to get a mate to fit them, or a local garage who I trust. I want to get the Arb's done at the same time to save cost, just unsure if I want to powerflex it at the same time. Sorting the S3 gets v.expensive very quickly, I was thinking the R32 items based on cost, and the fact they...

    Coilovers value?

    I was looking for a modified S3, but wanted one privately to assess the history of the car, and the quality of the mods. I got my modified S3 for quite a good price because it was modified, because it limits your market. If you're not removing the mods, can't you just trade it as std? I know...

    Backdraft or Jabbasport

    New owner - with any sort of luck, deposit paid!

    I had a Vr6 Corrado with a Z-Enginnering charger, loved it, I also like the CCGB club, went over to Amsterdam and Germany for a few meets, really good club :) I even got featured in the CCGB magazine, my only claim to fame. Btw-Welcome, and get the S3 mapped and lowered :)

    Bilstein B8 Shocks_decent price-AS Perfomance

    I was going for the Neuspeed, but they are too much money, have you thought about the Whiteline ones? I'm based about 30mins from Bury St Edmunds, just curious as I've read posts before that you're in suffolk. I'm going for the shocks next month, if you can't wait, it's only a tenner more :)...

    Bilstein B8 Shocks_decent price-AS Perfomance

    Hello mate where are you based? If you call Alyn, and mention you've spoken with Dean, and there is only one order, it will still only cost you £430 all in. Bit skint atm, so I will wait till next month. It is the best price I have found, his leadtimes will be good, as he is approved...

    Bilstein B8 Shocks_decent price-AS Perfomance

    Forgot to mention- I'll be ordering my shocks next month some time, if anyone is interested, on one set it's a tenner more, so still cheaper than any quote I've got so far. http://www.asperformance.com/contact.htm Ask for Alyn
