Used 400+bhp AUDI S3 for sale - PistonHeads (Ref 982260) - PistonHeads mobile

Its on eBay to,It's got a sticker parsons performance anyone had work done from there ?

 

[dre_S3]

Think parsons performance is where Ben who is on here works ?

 

[beachbuggy]

I think that's ben's ( parsons ) old s3. He's recently built reesy's car,

 

[kwistof]

100% that's Ben's S3 he built and he sold it earlier this year.

190mph top speed though...really?

 

[Sean_S3]

Was looking at that myself last night , good buy if its all legit.

 

[smurfworth]

Theres a topic on edition 38 forums about it, which i guess is by the current owner. apparenly its on "low boost", would be interesting to see it on high boost

 

[cecilthesausage]

Is this car worth 7500.... I know it's had a sh@t load of work done on it.... But that's a lot of money for a 13 year old car....

 

[superkarl]

Low boost its 400 and a bit hp, high boost its close to 450hp, which is at about 2 bar.

Phew what a mark up!!!

 

[BENJAMIN]

408bhp @1.65 bar. It wants a fuel pump and custom map and it'll reach 450 bhp.
I sold it for 5k in July.

Oh and it hits the rev limiter in 6th at about 170ish, definitely not 190mph lol

 

[cecilthesausage]

Did you build the car Ben.....?

Yeah, chassis bits were on I'd when I bought it though.

 

[doughty29]

i know that s3 its in my village, it was bens s3

 

[Raefjones]

It's mine, the top speed was a figure I thought Ben told me but I obviously wasn't listening properly. Haha

 

[cecilthesausage]

You've got a good mark up on it Raef.... 2 and a half bags....

The way people buy cars nowadays if I advertise it for 5 I will be getting offers for 3. I don't really want to sell it but I'm pretty hard up and it's a shame that it just sits there and rarely gets taken out

 

[BENJAMIN]

The engine build cost me £4000 with no labour. So 5k was very cheap imho

A fair point.....

When I think what I have spent on mine in the last year £7.5K seems like a bargain for one with all the work done.
