Hi Ewyna,
Thanks for sharing your figures. What you don’t mention is who did the tune for you? I’m looking at doing my A6 320 bitdi and am specifically interested in two things:
1) where did you get the map done (apologies if I missed it somewhere in the posts)
2) does it smoke? If so how...
Guess if you happy with them then keep em. its my understanding as well that they raise the car 10mm ie with 35mm drop spring you only get 25mm.
My mate hated them. took it for a drive it was well scetchy at 130 mph plus round bends on the motorway, the back end was unstable and whaled around...
I'm sorry to say mate but it's your FSD's there ****. A couple of my mates have had FSD's in there cars and all have taken them out because they a dangerous at high speed. One guy i know had them in his new Gti it was so scetchy at high speed, in the end awesome gave him the money back for them...
i put on piston heads for 9000 will see if i get any bites or i might just keep it.
tough choice to make i do love the car. Cheers for the comment prawn.
Thinking of putting my S3 up for sale
its a 1999 with 128,000 miles
Revo stage 2 with 4bar fpr running 280bhp on awsomes rollers
full pipewerx custom exhaust including dp
Brembo front brake upgrade
bilstien b8 shocks with H&R springs and ARB's
18 inch rstt's with goodyear gds3 f1's...
Yeah it does leave a lip about 4 inchs down the pipe. But on the plus side your opening up the inlet of the pipe by 3/4 of an inch. Over all its got to be better, debatable if its werth the time though.
and HTC you have got no right to make that comment. All sorts of interesting mods have...
Yeah nasty! Guess i should have mentioned CLEAN THE PIPE before installing. I used carb cleaner and the hose to wash it right out, then left it to dry before putting it on my car.
Really you would have to be stupid to put it straight back on with out cleaning it though!
no way man filling in the holes restricts the pipe size
i should have taken a pic of the finished product cause its not butchered at all it came out well looks completely oe inside.
all i was saying is that your have to be a bit of a butcher to get there.
get it done you'll see
looks like the 1.8t non qauttro like in a3 1.8t
also tubular manifolds are known to crack so you would def want a warranty from oz this could be difficult. I know its expensive but i would go with the jbs equal length
Performance Increase ......... Na i dunno possibly a small amount, the car did seem fast today.
So the VERDICT: if your bored and want to fill in a couple hours then go for it, your may gain a little ..... and every little does add up i spose.
Ok i've just done this mod.
Beginners BEWARE this mod its not easy with the incorrect tools .... infact it quite brutal.
I used a hacksaw, 2x drill bits one long bout 5mm and one 3mm short, a hammer and a chisel.
Check out the pictures.
What you need to do is cut off the very edge of the...
I have jiust developed the exact same noise im my car, its doing my head i have no idea what it is.
Makes it as the boost comes on strong and again when you take your foot off.
Def not tyres it sound mechanical dif or something.
Did you ever get to the bottem of it??????
Does anyone else...
Hey all just wondered if anybody else has this problem and or knows what it is.
When parking the S3 it makes a clunking sound when applying the brakes. It only does it after you have braked in the reverse direction. ie if i have braked in reversing then move forward and apply braking again it...
