    Ali's S3 Build Thread

    Bit of an update. Not a huge amount of action pics tho. I overhauled the suspension over the last few weeks with new wishbones, coilovers and Cookbot rear tie arms. Sent the car for alignment at ABP Motorsport near Crewe where i have been for the last couple of weeks. They did a great job of...

    Ali's S3 Build Thread

    Today was new wheel day as I got my splits all built up. They're BBS LM 145 s they're designed for the mk4 golf platform cars. I've had the centre's chemically stripped and painted in BBS gold from Subaru and the lips polished locally to me. I built them today with new nuts and the old black...

    They're aren't heated and there are no looms in my car for it, you can get mat kits for them and I imagine they'd be easy enough to connect up if you're handy.

    Haha. The altitude will be addressed shortly. Currently weighing up which brand to go with, toss up between Bilstein, H&r and something lower end like an ap or FK. We can. If you remove the std seats and flip them on their back there are 4 Allen keys which hold the seat to the Base...

    What other seats will fit my s3

    They're the ones. I got mine from Capital Seating a couple of years back. They're adjustable by the way they tilt to get people in the back and they also recline with a winder. You have the front back movement from the oem seat Base. The come in some renaults buy not sure if they come off the...

    Ali's S3 Build Thread

    Gave the car a thorough cleaning today, first time in weeks!! Don't anticipate it'll stay clean for long. Started with a citrus pre wash and a jet wash, followed by a 2 bucket wash, dry and then Poorboys black hole and black nattys paste wax. Then dress the tyres after cleaning with citrus wash...

    Ali's S3 Build Thread

    Bit of maintenance on the s3 yesterday in the delightful British weather!! Since I got the car the brakes haven't been up to much so got round to changing the front discs and pads, only had them since November!!! They're not standard brakes, which I discovered when I went to buy the car, they...

    Tbh, not sure, but they're a load lighter than the standard seat. Much easier to lug around when fitting. I got them from capital seating about 4 years ago. But available from several places.

    Ali's S3 Build Thread

    Thanks for the comments guys, I've spent a couple of years getting to grips with how to clean a car well and it's paying off now. I fancy trying the fusso hype, but not until I need to replace my wax. I get a lot of comments on the seats, they're a bit different to the norm I suppose! I'll...

    Ali's S3 Build Thread

    My particular passion is the aesthetics with cars, I'm into detailling and visual modifications as much as performance. The seller said that the paint work on the car was good and regularly polished, it wasn't bad, but definitely needed some care so I knew that I would be giving it a thorough...

    So. In October last year I bought my S3 following on from having to scrap my B5 A4 TQS due to an accident. The old send the new. So far I'm enjoying my time as an S3 owner, currently working through my list of jobs (which seems to be getting longer and longer)! The car has been well cared...

    What other seats will fit my s3

    You can use the original recaro seat subframes and bolt up another recaro seat. That's what I have done with mine to keep an almost OEM solution. I have aftermarket recaro CS seats and the bolt holes match up with the frames. Took about 45 mins a side to remove and replace.

    Upgrade the rear ARB

    Hi guys. Although I didn't have an S4 I had a tqs I ran front and rear h&r roll bars. Made a massive difference IMO. Much stiffer and more compliant round the corners. I have a pair of front and rear for sale, but I'll split *cough cough* Also I had neuspeed brackets on the frame which are...

    S3 8L...locking up at rear on full lock???

    I've had my s3 for a little over a month now and mine had this issue on manouvers to start with. As per a few of you it was well due a Haldex service, so I booked it in for one and whilst my friend had it on the ramp he thought it'd be rude not to drop the rear diff oil as the bung looked as...
