I wud love to have a S3 they quick fookers

Nice English!!

Compared to Cav Gsi with very generous speedo an Audi S3 problerly is quite quick. A couple of mates of mine had them and I was a little disapointed, after one got superchipped it was a lot better though.

[Drizz]

Your English isnt much better Ross

In standard form an S3 aint that quick.



Audi looks like a good buy.

[Grim Reaper]

drizz, how do you find your golf to handle?? being a vr6 an' all does it feel too nose heavy compaired to something like a valver??

[Drizz]

No not really its quite alright, understeers well in the wet, but what powerful FWD doesnt..

[MarkW]

Fappin' KNEW you would become a 'dubber!

Golf's looking lovely mate, the Audi's nice too, I know you have always hankered for another one since the estate went bang.

[Drizz]

Now need to get Scotts rotter out, calibra in and stripped, Estate stripped, Justy in for weight loss then the Audi can come in!

it wasnt std then, as my moderately slow std mk4 astra gsi was even stevens with a friends 250bhp s3 on a main road from 70 odd right upto 135-140.. off the line you have no chance though.

[Davey]

Those 1.8T vag engines are VERY tuneable.. A friend of mine had a 365bhp (proven) Octavia, it was disgustingly quick.

[Drizz]

Any details on its spec?

[Davey]

JE pistons + rods, mild head work, some funky inlet/plenum, H&S exhaust + manifold, GT35 (IIRC) turbo, huge FMIC, mapped by JabbaSport. Can't remember exact details.

[Drizz]

Ill have to get some research done. Ive just Sold the LET and F28 so i can buy an engine for it now

[Drizz]

Home and in its temporary location till some of the other crap has gone. Cant wait to clean it TBH

[Astra Dan]

What is the rear beam on the estate before and after the swap?

[Drizz]

Its a V6 Cavalier one modified to fit an estate. Apparantly 20mm wider than normal estate one
