Yes Scott, was awesome trip down. Got a lift with some hippy who ate too many sausages and bacon eggs! :p Thanks buddy!

Power wise she was RR'd at R-Tech with a few faults and no V-Power at 230bhp, my logs today have it peaking at 188GPS at 26PSI, so 240bhp on V-Power.

Still not been de-catted either :thumbsup:

Nice car mate and awesom spec, i hope to have mine similar to this one day, im excited to see this on the track :)
 
It's an A3 so what's all the fuss
 
Somebody has put a lot of money into it to bring it up to slightly above standard s3 power :p

I am surprised you didn't go for a facelift!

I give this car a matter of months before it's in a kerb/hedge.
 
I like this pic, car in the background looks epic. any more info on it?

I think it's the same one that tried to race me earlier, it was in the background then too...

Hayes, is the "surprised you didn't go for a facelift" comment meant to be a joke?! :lmfao:

Also, no Si. I found this image which sums it up quite nicely for the Turbo owners -

Is thats Scotts bacon and eggs i can smell or a freshly manured field???.........:cool:
 
I can't lie, we had a blast earlier, and this is slightly quicker than my track car. Around a track it won't be, but in a straight line, it's pretty epic.
Proper S3 killer this one!
 
Thing is though, for all it's fastness it isn't as cool as your track car yet.

Needs more pops and bangs and a PROPER filter.
 
Nothing is as cool as my track car :laugh:

Still pretty epic though dude, after 3 years of wanting one, you've finally got one, and this one of all cars too.

Good purchase indeed :)
 
Here's your A3 at the very first Audi-Sport meet at Newlands corner, organised by Nick Elvery.

I think it was July 1st 2007, the day me and French first picked her up, on 130k. 100% standard aside from some RS4 wheels

I'm sure Audi would have a fit if they saw what had become of their beloved dealer demo car!
 
I rememeber the day french rocked up at mine, and it was DECKED. he'd kept it a totaly secret from everyone. was properly awesome when he showed up dragging it along the floor!

Haha, quality :)
 
Dont worry Prawn, if just cast my rod on jardo thats all...:)

I won't bite for you Dave, you're too obvious. going to clean the life out of it tomorrow, it's not been clayed in 3 years I think! So I'll spam this thread to death with photo's then. Got the original owner coming round tomorrow!

Me on the other hand getting an AMK engined S3 owner to lol at "215bhp" being crappy is a work of genius. (Sorry Si! :friends:)

-

Just found these pictures too!

Ever wonder where Prawn got his carbon bonnet?

yea, you can even see the scratch on the bumper that I've inherrited!

Bonnet was a good blag for me :)

That pic at the rollers is at SRD in Launceston, it wasnt running properly at all and made something silly like 121bhp at the wheels on CC1. haha. bit different now though!

I'm glad you got it, this car and mine have been just about everywhere together in the last 4 years, with mine always being about a year ahead on the mods. That gives you roughly 1 year to strip it, cage it, and fit an LSD!
 
Looks really nice that mate and an awesome spec too, the S3 boys should be worried at combe with you and prawn out there, and its great for us A3 boys to see some seriously quick A3s, gives us something to aim for :) nice buy mate
 
Some inspiration for you Danny, it's got the same wheels as yours now!
