My Rather Slow S3 minor modding thread!

[Sevv]

alrighty then... i guess ill be ordering them in .. i just cant justify 180$ for the pair from the stealers crazy price 90$ is more like it

btw Lorryz when are you thinking of doing your suspension as tbh i paid 1750$ but Seb did a cracking job however east coast suspension where seb told me to go for corner balancing allignment only charge 900$ for a day only

thats the S3 on Bilstein B14's and a 30mm drop all i need is some rear adjustable tie arms as the camber is ****** 2.15!!!!


tell me what you guys think ? likey or not ?

 

[Rosso TT]

At front looks spot on mate!
Is probably the angle of the photo but at rear looks a bit low to me.

 

[Sevv]

at first i thought the same.. ill give it a quick check though i can barely fit 2 fingers over the wheel and the arc.. on both ends front and rear... not to mention where im parked is on an angle too.

 

[Sevv]

well guys i finally got around to changing the boost gauge however im unsure of the readings ? was told they should stay at 14InhG not 18 as im looking at even when warm.. however when i first installed it after the car warmed up to 90 it stuck on 14inHg any help would be great.. im hopping it doesn't spell turbo change.

 

[Dani_B19]

Thats right mate, shouldnt be lower than 18/20, mine when first startd will hover around 14 but then settle to about 20.

thanks ALOT!!!!! mate thank you i got worried and for some reason i couldnt use the search function either to check about the issue so thanks again..

btw is 11psi normal for an un-mapped 210 AMK S3?

 

[Dani_B19]

No worries mate, yeah, should be 11/12psi.

no its fine Paul not a problem.. now i have another rather annoying problem...after fitting the PSS's with HR sway bar's.. i have some sort of rattling coming from the rear end just came from Seb at Euro Automotive.. and said everything was tight and the sub frame was tight...

so my dilemma is now that i don't know were the noise is coming from Seb suggested we do the sway bar links.. (which i have) or the rear front and rear rear wishbone bushes... the ARB already has new bushes fitted

the noise is like a small pebble in a empty cardboard box..ever time i go over uneven surfaces on the road or a tiny bump or hole


anyone has experienced such an issue after fitted new suspension and ARB's ... the front bushes have ALL been changed (powerflex ones) .. i could use some pointers please

 

[Sevv]

anyone with any thoughts please ?
