[MintyS3]

Brembo big brakes and arbs are all I need to buy now. Got a room full of bits to fit but it aint gonna happen until I can feel my fingers outside.

Might get stage2 done though as its only £50, not feeling an exhaust though.

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Finish the 2.1 build

Respray

Down pipe and system

[S£]

Sell it!...

 

[Ian W]

Probably sell it (soon)

 

[s3_kev]

drive it for most the year then sell it , hopefully buy an 8p s3 if funds allow after buying my flat and saving to get married

 

[jojo]

Yes, selling it is another option of mine, I'm not using it much, and I fancy something with more BHP for my occasional use.

Opposite problem for me, putting to many miles on it to quickly and need something more economical

 

[jonny87]

need to sell it to afford first flat, really dont want to
if i didnt sell things on my list include:

silicone tip non esp (o the joy)
arbs
service haldex
general service
forge splitter r dv/recirc
bmc cda induction kit
tidy up engine bay
possible rebuild over 2010 winter

that is if i dont sell and its a big if at the moment

 

[emery1990]

selling it, getting a leon fr tdi ( or any vag tdi) for a bit then get a mini JCW by the end of year hopefully!

 

[Alan W]

replace all balljoints and bushings in the front wishbones
replace all crank case breather hoses and valve
full geometery setup and do corner weights
sell it and buy a m3 CSL:icon_thumright:

 

[voorhees]

selling it, getting a leon fr tdi ( or any vag tdi) for a bit then get a mini JCW by the end of year hopefully!

get a golf mk 4 tdi pd 150,chip it and you will have a quick and economical car.

 

[emery1990]

That is on the list too, but this leon is going cheap as it may have a turbo issue, vnt mechanics sticking apperently? so could haggle him down to under £4500

 

[<tuffty/>]

Firstly finish of mapping and tweaking so that I can get a proper run on a dyno to base line my power...

Then... fix the stuff that breaks

<tuffty/>

 

[L1 HCS]

what are you doing to your motor in the coming year ?

Gearbox reconditioning.

Passenger side window motor repair.

Basic valet to the car = vacuum and wash.

 

[grathies]

Gonna sell mine, lets someone else enjoy it

 

[Andy_S3]

I too may be selling come the end of the year really really don't want to sell but im currently applying for the RAF and if successful I'll be taking a 50% pay cut. Buggar.

 

[Kitchy]

sort out a couple of issues, new front tyres, then i would like a fmic, downpipe and sports cat or more likely a new clutch!

 

[Essflee]

Loads of things I'd like to do, probably won't do any of them though

got the house bug instead, rather plough my money it to that...

I can live with the car as it is

 

[ash3435]

after having a expensive december on my car (£1500), i made my mind up that i wasn't goin to spend any more, but things have changed already.my friend selling a forge engine cover, relocation kit samco,top hoses samco,carbon oil cap and chrome charge pipe all only a few months old for 190 to me.i cant resist,this will finish my engine bay off as i fitted a catch can last weekend.

 

[jcs356]

No plans for the S3, but the Ibiza is going to be broken in late spring as it's got past the point of economic repair.

To replace it I have a 2 litre 16v ABF engined Seat Cordoba SX 'coupe' which is going into the garage in a fortnight for:

• Schrick cams
• Polish & port the head
• TSR 4 branch manifold
• Throttle body
• Sports cat
• Stainless exhaust

The car was previously owned by a mate who has already sorted the chassis and handling out - so I'm tweaking the power. Hoping for somewhere around 175 - 180 bhp in a car that will weigh around a tonne. That's about 40 more than the Ibiza so should be noticeable.

 

[Lemon S3]

clean it

Ditto!
Haven't cleaned it for over a month
Cleaning it later today though.

When I actually have funds:
Down pipe
Decat
Dual exhaust like the S6
FMIC
BT
Body kit (New shape s3 style front bumper)
Led front fogs
Rear lights
Devil eye headlights
Double Din headunit
Replace distorted bose sub
DV moved to cold side
Samco hoses (in yellow if possible)
Cold feed induction pipe
Coilovers
Brembo brakes
19" rs4 alloys
Respray (either same colour or white)

Think that's about it.

 

[Pat]

For me it will be:-


AH Fabs Intercooler, been fitted as we speak along with bigger injectors..

New external wastegate going on this week as other ones ********..

Turn then to suspension, ARBs are on so just some bilsteins..

Save up for a new bottom end, rods, valves etc etc

Big Turbo, I would like to see a min of 400 bhp

 

[JS1500]

Early this year I plan to do the following to the S3;

1. Fit 007p DV (still sitting in box)
2. Fit panel filter
3. Custom Code or Revo Stage 1 (still undecided)
4. Silicone TIP
5. KW Springs and Shocks kit
6. Tie bars (Awesome or Forge)
7. Uprated ARBs
8. RaceDiagostics LiquidS3


Then turn my attentions to getting the MG on track;

1. Engine rebuild
2. Fix bodywork damage caused by dad reversing in to me!
3. New sticky Yokos
4. Possibly Revolution 4 spokes
5. Tracking and alignment


Then back to the S3;

9. Subtle window tints
10. Maybe BBS LM (reps)
11. Custom exhaust (turbo back)
12. Maybe FMIC
13. Stage 2 map

Damn, seeing it all typed out like that makes it obvious I need a better paying job!

 

[1animal1]

Pat.....let me know how it feels once ya get it back.... as in massive difference etc

 

[ricko]

think i might buy an s3 seems like everyone is selling them. i could have my pick

 

[OllieH]

think i might buy an s3 seems like everyone is selling them. i could have my pick

Same here, want something modded though. Maybe BT conversion, or Hybrid, with brakes and suspension.

 

[indiemike]

By the looks of it, sell up and get a diesel
