That's great. How did your insurance company react when you told them?
How many miles on the clock? Could make more bhp once the engine loosens up.It feels err rapid...!
geefunk1978 What type of dyno was used ?What weather conditions was dyno done at ?What gear was used to get your readings ?Type of Fuel ?KM on EngineDynoed ?Operator and dyno settings ?All can result in totally different readings
These are all questions for Shark Performance as I'm not a dyno operator!
It's a Bapro dyno and they've been using it a long time on lots of different cars.
our skoda vrs tdi produced 179bhp in standard form (184ps) and 226bhp on sharks dyno, and an additional 110nm of torque..
either way I always look at the % increase rather then the figures themselves
98 octane will get you further and burn cleaner with better combustion giving you more power than 95 in my mind its well worth the few extra $$$$Do we have to use super unleaded in the new S3? Or is it just recommended. Does it make a difference?
im being told week 8 build and can take upto 5 weeks to arrive... so is that april then?

Something weird is happening... my car was supposed to be build in week 5 and now I talked to my dealer and its already build last week it happen also for some other guys that I know. So I will get my car in January. yeay
That happened to me mate, was quoted first week oF December for delivery, called them 1st week of October just to ask for a build week and they were like "it was built 3 days ago" I was like "oh....sh!T!"
Picked it up on the 28th October!
Loving it!!Actually, last Sunday I was in a queue of traffic at some lights, an Estoril / deep blue RS5 pulled up next to me (didn't see him at first) I just heard his horn beep, looked round and he pointed at the car and gave me the "ok" sign with his hand nodding...I mouthed "really? have you seen your f*****g car??" and he just laughed...It was stunning, and felt great to get a compliment from an RS driver!Black is nice and will always look good clean, but it's on the stealth side and makes the car look smaller and less aggressive imo, I guess I like to stand out a bit given the already subtle shape of the S3..Stop worrying, you've made a good choice!Lucky fellas!! How's the glacier going Johnny!? Always looks superb in your pics, all this talk of black did tempt me to the dark side but i've stuck with glacier!
I have the same Build week and my Dealer said around about March 10th pickupim being told week 8 build and can take upto 5 weeks to arrive... so is that april then?
I was going to order Monsoon to start with, but I'm glad my missus talked me out of it and into Glacier! Think the darker colours don't make it stand out enough and nothing says 'flash git' like a bright white car lolI had the nod from a guy in a V10 R8 the other day!Loving it!!Actually, last Sunday I was in a queue of traffic at some lights, an Estoril / deep blue RS5 pulled up next to me (didn't see him at first) I just heard his born beep, looked round and he pointed at the car and gave me the "ok" sign with his hand nodding...I mouthed "really? have you seen your f*****g car??" and he just laughed...It was stunning, and felt great to get a compliment from an RS driver!Black is nice and will always look good clean, but it's on the stealth side and makes the car look smaller and less aggressive imo, I guess I like to stand out a bit given the already subtle shape of the S3..Stop worrying, you've made a good choice!
Agreed!The great thing about Glacier is that it is alot more subtle than the old Ibis, yet remains the best colour in the range for contrast AND showing off the cars lines!Keeping it clean in this greasy weather though - pointlessI was going to order Monsoon to start with, but I'm glad my missus talked me out of it and into Glacier!

Yep mine's been cleaned once in the last 2 weeks, no point whatsoever! I am well impressed with the way it shows all the lines in the body, they do stand out.Agreed!The great thing about Glacier is that it is alot more subtle than the old Ibis, yet remains the best colour in the range for contrast AND showing off the cars lines!Keeping it clean in this greasy weather though - pointless
saturday just goneHi d8ean, out of interest when did you place your order? Mine was ordered a couple of weeks ago and still havent had a build date which i'm chasing. Im assuming April delivery too.
My cousin who bought my last 8P Ibis white S3 has just put them on his car (18" though) or at least some very similar, and they do look amazing!!Changing the wheels on this new car was not like me at all, i'm usually Mr Standard when ot comes to S cars, but i felt the standard 18" S3 alloys very underwhelming when they are not showroom clean. If you are ever up in the Yorkshire area let me know and i will show you how well 19's lend themselves to the S3. I'd say buy your wife some new shoes - then you can get your cars' new shoes!!Ben at Shark has been trying to talk me into getting some new wheels, I must admit some 19" BBS CH-R's in black would look porno!Don't think the wife would be too happy about that when I've just blown £30k+ on a new car lol
added the rails and through load options todayI have the same Build week and my Dealer said around about March 10th pickup

I was considering the grey ones, but seem to be v expensive online

Well in that case you have done a sterling job getting the S3 ok'd by the wife! Good work and congrats!I wish I'd kept the standard wheels instead of paying £395 for the 10 spoke titanium wheels then it would be easier to justify changing them! I thought they were the best looking of the lot though. Hmm they'd have to be expensive shoes and again tricky to justify when we've got a 4 month old baby too!!
Nice one, well done.Thanks, crammed as much into my spec as budget would allow. If you're week 8 then I'm hoping it'll be around that, still waiting for my build week. The wait till April is going to be murder but worth it.saturday just gonenice spec btw
yea I kinda hoped I'd fine one I could go get straight away to enjoy during the winterNice one, well done.Thanks, crammed as much into my spec as budget would allow.

First time i have seen your spec Giles! I bet the parade red leather will team up very nicely with the red S3 logo's in and outside of the car!!Nice one, well done.Thanks, crammed as much into my spec as budget would allow.

I certainly hope so mate! Wasn't sure what to expect with the parade red but really liked it in the Bolton demo that I drove, didn't find the red over bearing so went for it, just looks sporty to me. Hadn't thought about the logo's but yes, you're right. Just the ****** wait now!! Lots of new pics on the forum over Xmas would be good so when I've had a few too many ales I can remember what's waiting to be delivered in 2014!!First time i have seen your spec Giles! I bet the parade red leather will team up very nicely with the red S3 logo's in and outside of the car!!
