    White Audi S3 stolen in Maidstone!

    I guess it depends on who nicked it - if it was some kids who just thought it was a sporty looking car that would be good to thrash around for a few days, then I would have expected it to have been abandoned somewhere by now. If it was someone that knows a bit about cars and mods, it could have...

    White Audi S3 stolen in Maidstone!

    Funny you should say that mate - I put out a message on both Facebook & Instagram asking people to share, and to let me know if they see it; and I got a message from a friend Saturday afternoon to say he thought he had seen my car heading towards Gravesend. I contacted British Transport Police...

    White Audi S3 stolen in Maidstone!

    Morning all, It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, and it’s not good news I’m afraid! My modified 3-door Ibis White Audi S3 (LR59 VEL) was stolen from Barming Train Station car park yesterday (Maidstone, Kent area). It was heavily modified, so I’m not sure if it will be...

    Another exhaust thread...

    Morning all, Like prt57, I also had a conversation with @BCS Nige a while back, and he explained that the 200 Cell Cat they use gives a true ratio of 85mm - so a greater flow rate area than a 76mm Cat delete. Max Read - it's also worth considering the potential insurance/MOT issues that you...

    Time for a build thread....big turbo

    Hi Alex, Sorry to hear that the new turbo won't fit, but it sounds like Nortech are on the case and are very determined to make it happen - which is great news. As a side-note, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of the new bigger turbo being too big to actually fit in the engine bay...

    Cam Belt Service

    Tell me about it - my car's booked in with Audi Maidstone next weekend. £309 for the service and £549 for the cambelt and water pump. That's £858 smackers in one hit. I'll be able to save a bit by not requiring the air filter and spark plugs that they quoted me for, but it's still a fair whack...

    Write off i think :(

    Wow, that must have been quite a shock. As above mate - a car's a car, and the important thing is that everyone's ok...

    15Degrees-North S3 turbo Race Car build

    I love reading your updates - I just wish I had your skill, knowledge, and expertise! I would have loved to fit all of my mods myself, but I can just about cope with topping up the oil. Good luck with it all mate, it's coming along nicely... :-)

    S3 8P Top Mounts

    Hi lucky_bob, I had the Revo engine mount kit fitted a few days before the Rolling Road Day at AmD Essex last year. The NVH levels when I first had them fitted were pretty shocking - especially when engaging 1st gear and pulling away from a standstill. The car honestly felt like it was...

    My S3

    Hi Alex, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these brakes, as I really should start thinking about replacing my standard brakes too. Good luck with it pal, and keep us posted... :-)
