    S3 standard wheel offset

    The S4 wheels have a 35 offset! That makes it worse! Damn, now I'll have to get the replicas.

    S3 standard wheel offset

    Hi guys. Got tired searching for this info. Does anyone know what the offset and width is on the 17" standard Avus alloy? Got a set of 18" S4 wheels that I want to fit on my 2003 S3. Was just wondering what size wheel adaptors I will need and if there will be any issues with the tyre touching...

    Rollbars fitted - but something doesnt feel right

    Dont think it's the FSDs. I had them on before putting on the rollbars and it was great at any speed. The car just feels twitchy after fitting the rollbars. 4 wheel alignment was done. Maybe I should go check it out again. Do you guys think fitting a set of H&Rs will make a difference? Only...

    Rollbars fitted - but something doesnt feel right

    If you keep your foot on the gas it sticks like crazy, but if you're just cruising along, then it gets a bit twitchy. It's probably just me needing to learn how to drive properly! hehe!

    Rollbars fitted - but something doesnt feel right

    Hi guys. Not sure if this is normal..... I fitted the Neuspeed rollbars (22/19) to my S3 recently, but now the car feels a bit twitchy at the rear. Even the traction control tends to kick in if I corner at around 120km/h on a long bend on the highway. This happens when I tap off the...

    Vagcom - Torque

    My S3 made 370nm with vag and 311nm on a dyno. I doubt VAG reads at the wheels.

    Audi S3 Clutch / REV problem - HELP!

    Sounds like your clutch is starting to slip. Mine started off doing the same thing and now it slips horribly when the car comes into boost.

    S3 Clutch options

    Thanks for all the help guys. I'm in South Africa so we get ripped off for everything! Will have a look at all the options, but I'm thinking about putting in the stock clutch for now, depending on price. Planning to slap on a GT28RS or GT3071 turbo in the future so maybe I'll upgrade to a...

    S3 Clutch options

    I do a bit of drag racing (once a month with hard launches) and I'm planning to start some track driving too. On a bad day at the dyno my car made 140kw and 311nm on the wheels. Thats probably around +/-260hp and well under 300lb/ft on the engine. Seems like the stock clutch will do but I'm...

    S3 Clutch options

    Hi All. What clutch would you guys recomend for my S3. Was thinking about going for a standard clutch, but what other options are there? I need something that can handle 270-300bhp on the engine. Thanks.

    Getting rid of lag.

    Yep, 76mm = 3" I paid R3200 (+/- GBP230) from a reputable fitment centre here in South Africa called TNT exhausts. The cats have been removed as well.

    Getting rid of lag.

    I've got a nice 76mm exhaust from the turbo to the back. That in my oppinion made a very decent difference to the way the turbo spools up.

    Not holding boost.....any suggestions

    You need to find someone with the VAG COM software and log blocks 114 (n75 duty cycle),115 (requested+actual boost)and 003 (maf readings). There's a whole lot of reasons why your car could be losing boost. I think 114 will tell you if the N75 is working too hard, if so, it's probably a boost...

    VW/Audi 21mm front ARB ???

    Hi All. I was under the impression that you couldnt get a 21mm front ARB from the VW/AUDI parts bit to fit the S3. There's a guy from Germany that said he could source it for me. Cost is $114 for the front and $203.50 for the rear (19mm) Any idea how the 21/19mm combination will work on the...

    Koni FSDs + R32/Neuspeed roll bars

    Hi All. Been researching this topic to death recently but I cant find any comments about the R32 roll bars with the Koni FSDs. Have any of you guys driven an S3 with the R32 bars and one with the Neuspeed bars? What I want to know is, does the 1mm difference make that much of a difference...
