Defected to Ze Germans...

I love these cars. I had a dolphin grey one on the bbs split rims. I loved it, really comfortable, usable day to day, and quiet a weapon even with a mong like me behind the wheel!! We did 25k trouble free miles in ours before the wife hid her pill packet and got pregnant. It just wouldn't of been great with a kid so I sold it. Still miss it.

Gally, yes she does. It was a 3 door, not a sportback. Moaned about fuel and it hurt her back leaning into the back seat.
Maybe I need A drink of man up!!!

Lols! I own a V6 TT, my opinion is void, I just love the 8P. My OH doesn't have any input into cars per se, the little girl loves it also!

And i should think the v6 is worse on juice than the s3!!Mmm I now have a dirty battle bus. Maybe one day I will own another Clio 16v!!!

That "Imperial Blue" colour Audi do Danny is immense. One RS3 and one S3 local to me in that colour. Stunning!

Was within a deposit of buying one in that colour.

Nice cars, just struggle to see why you'd opt for an S3 over a Golf R, although maybe the Golf was out at that age? Not sure...

So do you need a clutch upgrade for Stage 1 or is it precautionary? I have DSG with Stage 1 Map (+ DSG Map) and was told there would be no problems... and it does 0-60 in 4.1 (on a VBOX)!

s3 was out long before the golf r (around 4 years) now the new s3 is out you certainly wouldn't pick the golf r. DSG boxes can run big power with no issues.

That's the one. Prefer the S3 as I hate the Silver bits on Audis. Needs colour coded!

Great colour.

But how will people know that I am so dedicated to helping the environment by reducing my weight, and therefore emissions, that even my wing mirrors are made of aluminium?

No not those bits. That's S standard. I mean on the new ones, little trims of bumpers front and rear trimmed in Silver, looks poop!
 
  S4 Avant
Oh, in the front bumper? Yeah I've not got those bits.

Modern Audis seem to be very garishly styled. Not helped by Audi owners trying to make them look even worse as well.

How many miles has the s3 done and the clutch is slipping? .
48k but it isn't slipping, flywheel is a little noisy but that's it. If I want the option of a remap at a later date available to me I need to change it though as it won't last.

And seeing as I needed to change the steering rack thought I might as well do it all at once.
 
  BMW M135i
As low as 13-14k for a low spec high miler, £16-17k+ for a decent mileage and spec. Spec is the difficult bit as most are poverty as the options list is LOL worthy in price and what you (don't) actually get.
 
  BMW M135i
Are they down that low? Was all CAT Ds and the like when I was looking, not that I was actually looking at the pauper spec ones it just wouldn't be the same with the gadgets.

Had a productive day anyway.

Box is back on and on the mounts again now, just got the clutch to bleed, top mounts to swap and stick the subframe back on and i'll be in the right direction.

Not often you see preventative modification!

Lovley stuff!

Are you a mechanic to trade? I gather Audi would want a reach-around and eye contact to do this sort of work?
 
  BMW M135i
I haven't personally enquired but I've heard quotes of £1.5-2k bounded about all in from Audi main dealers.

Nope not a mechanic mining sparky by trade although i've moved up to systems engineer these days (PLCs/SCADA etc), just always had a decent practical mechanical mind.
