Hi guys. Please see eBay item number 170801173000. It's an 05 originally Red but has a full inside and out 2011 s3 conversion. Do you think it's worth the money? I'm going to look at it tomorrow. Many thanks guys
It does look well done.
I haven't got lumpy idle or anything like that, although I do have the 2k hesitation which needs sorting. How can you use vcd's to check if the chains stretched? And how long would it take someone to check?I agree but I bet it doesn't look as good in the flesh.
Another thing, as it's an 05, it is prone to cam chain stretch, before I paid money for an 05 3.2 , I'd want to see VCDS prove the chain is ok.
Make sure there's no lumpy idle and that you can hold the revs easily at 2k.

Even as a rebuild, why not just put the effort and money into making it look like a really nice 3.2?

Less miles and a proper S3 (so you won't feel like a fool when one pulls next to you at the lights).
IMO the whole replica thing is a bit naff anyway but the 3.2 is a desirable (and fairly rare in relative terms) car in its own right, so
I dont see why you would make a replica out of it.?

because who else would spend all that money to get it to look exactly like an S3, )
Its still a 3.2 V6 24v so i dont think he'd feel like a fool in that respect.
I really don't care what engine is in it.. at the end of the day it's not an S3.. it's a FAKE.
And that's their choice.. but i'd put money on it that the majority wouldn't own one.
Exactly Wez an S3 is only a A3 with a bolt on body kit. What dose matty think about s-line spoilers on sport models ?
Take the badge off that 3.2 and its a A3 with a body kit. To me a replica is a fibreglass Lambo with a MR2 lump
so why has yours got S3 peddles ?If you want an S Line, buy an S Line. If you want an S3, buy an S3. Don't kid yourself your cars something it's not. Mines as much of an S3 as the car in question... mine isn't one either!

lol, so what if some of us choose to alter some of the parts on our cars for what we feel is an improvement. I did it not to make a cheap S3 but because I love the look of the S3 body. For me I have the best of both, a V6 and a more agressive looking car.
Not everyone can afford an S3 etc and all on here take pride in their cars they drive. Its nice to hear opinons on the work we have done on them but sadly not from someone who who can only add negative comments yet chooses to use higher models parts himself.

TBH mate if you dont like people moding their cars with S-line spoilers or S-line bumpers or putting 09 defusers on 05 cars then you are on the wrong forum.
Audi moded the A3 2.0tfsi to an S3 so you can hardley criticise others for doing the same.. You spend your hard earned cash on a car you buy the right to do what you want to it. It may not be to your liking but then it has nothing to do with you either.
You go round disliking posts because other people have an opinion you aint going to make many friends here .

Sarah, your car is gorgeous, but I've never heard you claim it was an S3 (why would you). I think that's the bottom line for me. Make/mod it as you like, but don't claim it's something it's not!
In relation to these fake S3's.. I do think a lot of the time I am on the wrong forum - and it's been said before. Some users on here think they are god's gift because they've managed to afford a 5 year old A3 with an Audi badge on it.. Big deal, everyone can - Get over yourself!
My opinion hasn't changed.
