Looking good mate! Glad to see the engine is good, always felt very strong during my Ownership😀

Only a few small updates due to working overseas. The car recently undergone an oil/filter service along with the Cam follower. I've recently had the wheels refurbed. Was planning to only go a little darker than the OEM silver as they were a nightmare to keep clean. They returned a lot darker...

glad to see its being well looked after. Will look forward to more thread updates. 😀

my old car! Looking good mate, was brilliant during my ownership!

I think the red really suits them! followed your thread on your stage 2+. Was tempted to go down that route, but i think an 8p rs3 will be next. Need that 5 cylinder soundtrack!

Only a small update. Again, not to everyones taste, but fitted a front splitter.

It Does seem like c**ts like to nick these! Will have to sort a clamp of some sorts!

Good to hear Martin! The plan was to keep in relatively standard but i think its crying out for a slightly louder exhaust! Nothing too Bradford though, ha!

Haha yeah, the grill doesn’t seem too popular! I did see yours for sale on here, would have snapped it up it was a 5 door! Was mapped by a local reputable company, just a generic map. Will head to R-tech in the future if i decide on more power!

😂mixed opinions I know! not 100% on It either, may change it back in the future.

Effortless driving! was worried I'd regret not buying a manual but it really is great.

After owning the car for a week, an rs3 grill was fitted. Mixed opinions I know, but I personally think it modernizes the front end. recently decided to have it 'stage 1' mapped. car felt instantly quicker, more responsive. As many people have agreed, its how the S3 should have come out of...

Thought i’d create a thread to document ownership of my recently purchased S3. Bought this car to replace my RB which I recently sold. Car has done 73000, FSH including haldex and DSG service. immaculate inside and out. Such a great car to drive, thought I'd miss driving a manuel after owning...

Thanks for the replys! They’re cooksport springs and cup shocks. Both only a couple of years old, but ill begin by replacing them to see if it solves the problem, as its almost un-drivable!

Thanks for the reply! which springs would you suggest to raise it to a good height? could you hazard a guess as to why the ride height has dropped over time? Tom.

Afternoon guys, i have recently fitted some cup turinis (38.5) with 205 tires. The wheels are scrubbing on the arches when weight is distributed either side or if i have a passenger in the back which is not ideal! It seems to have dropped since fitting the Turinis which is odd. I have the PMS...

love this thing. Best colour 100%.

looks nicer than it was 😂

fresh coat of caliper paint, cleaned and sealed wheels.

Something a bit different sat on super turismos. Thoughts? Looking for a set of 2118s..

M Cheers mate, ill give it a go!

better photo uploaded.. slightly cleaner😬

Hey guys, Its not the easiest to take a picture of, but as you can see the bonnet on my RB 182 has gone incredibly flat and swirly. I’ve used an DA with meguires ultimate compound but no improvement. Any ideas of pads/compounds which will help or is it too far gone to polish out? Cheers!

Hey Guys, As per the thread title, will these two exhaust parts both fit together ok? I know its probably been asked before/ probably an obvious answer so apologies in advance. Cheers!

Hey guys, Currently running a K-tec exhaust system with 2.5” decat which is much too loud for my liking! I’m Not very clued up on exhaust systems so do apologise! If i were to purchase a standard 182 cat would fitement be ok? I Will need something in place for the MOT and minimise the noise...

Thanks Mike, Will take it in to get looked at!

Whilst driving this evening I noticed a burning smell and a small ammount of smoke coming from under the bonnet. Battery and warning light were on but car was running as normal. Pulled over to find a lot of smoke coming from my alternator and small flames! The flames eventually went out, but i...

Those wheels look spot on mate!

Looks really good that mate, love petrol blue!
