Are people with Stage 2+ getting any good deals from anyone other than Adrian Flux ? I'm with them now, just got my renewal and am looking for options. Thanks for any tips.

This is probably in the "wrong" section but .... If I copy individual mp3 files onto my SD cards the playback includes a one second gap between tracks. This is a royal pain in the sheriff's badge if you are listening to mixes or classical music and need a seamless playback. Anyone know a...

My car is plenty quick enough in a straight line but I'd like it to be better in the corners - mainly for trackdays but for fast road use also. I'm not interested in how it looks, nor in being able to adjust the ride height. I just want the car to turn in better and carry more pace in the...

The effects of the mega detail I had done back in February were finally beginning to fade and the men at Polished Bliss recommended the Blackfire kit for Phantom Black. I read up about it and it seemed good so bought the kit (not cheap - £100). Slapped it on this morning and the effect, I think...

I'm not the first to do this little mod by any means - but being very sceptical of any benefits I decided to test the outcome and measure the results and I was very pleasantly surprised. The following are all intake temperatures using Vagcom block 4: Without the Gold Tape: Idling temperature...

I'm helping my mate fit a Forge DV to his Ed30 tomorrow - so the location is at the front of the engine. The instructions which come with it are for the Golf GTi - where the DV is at the back of the engine near the turbo - so I need a few tips. Anything you can suggest will be gratefully...

I’ve just got back from AmD – a 240 mile trip for me – and can only say that I am still in shock at the difference this has made. You have to experience this Revo Stage2+ to really appreciate it – words can’t come close but I’ll try. Before this week my car was Revo’d (Stage 1) with a Milltek...

Please have a look at these videos (not very good quality but good enough to see the problem). Is this clutch slip ? I've never experienced it before but from what I'm reading this is a likely candidate for my problem. Some facts: 1. There are no fault codes on my Vagcom (no misfires or...

Got my car fully detailed by Matt at OffYourMarks last week. I'd seen his work over on DetailingWorld and Polished Bliss recommended him to me. So I took the plunge. I'm still gobsmacked now. If you're in the market for a detail I can assure you Matt will give you value for money - the car feels...

Putting a child's seat iin my car last week I scraped the metal runner across my passenger seat bolster. Not happy. It looked like this: Now Polished Bliss (we all know them) recommended a leather repair oufit not far from me (Bolton, near Manchester) and after a quick call to "Les the...

Last night my bird was fannying around with some washing or drying in the garage when a glass bottle "accidentally" fell on to the bonnet of my S3 leaving a nice big dent in the middle of the frontal curve. Once I'd been on to my solicitor to start divorce proceedings I started to look around...

Question for the electrical wizards on this forum: I do track days quite often and it would be great to get the datalogging information on display on the RNS-E to monitor air intake temps, load factors, torque output and whatever whilst driving. Obviously I can't have my laptop flinging itself...

RS3 ? Here’s a question I’ve been asking myself – if Audi released an RS3 with 342bhp and 344lbft (over 322lbft of it consistent between 3500 and 5000 rpm), SDS-enabled DVD SatNav and Bluetooth, BOSE and a sunroof as standard for £31,000 would I buy it and be happy I’d got value for money ...

Could some folk out there who are more experienced/knowledgeable than me (ie. anyone) please help ? I currently have a SuperChips (bluefin) remap and Forge CAI. Well pleased with the car but am considering my next performance mod - its like an addiction this game ! I’ve read every thread...

After reading every thread on the subject and a few PMs to people who'd already bought one I decided on a Forge CAI about 3 weeks ago. It came yesterday, fitted it this morning, have driven it round this afternoon. It is, in my opinion, an absolutely essential item to have on your S3. Here's the...

I've been reading every modification thread in the last week or so - and have concluded nothing except: I want the lot ! I've never seriously modded a car before (K&Ned my old Corrado but that's about it) and am running my S3 as totally standard apart from the Bluefin remap. If performance on...

Seen this ? Look at the results from the last 3 years - its beating some stiff opposition here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward%27s_10_Best_Engines

Just got back from the Ring yesterday having thrashed the S3 round it on Sunday. Thought some of you might like a look - I have the full lap videoed but this clip is limited to 5 mins. Even so you get to see a Lotus Elise that had crashed just in front of us (about two thirds of the way through...

Care to nominate your favourite roads when you're out for a good long blast and bonding session with your motor ? I'm always looking for new ones to try so would appreciate any suggestions. My initial nominations and the ones I do most often are: 1. A835 from Dingwall to Ledmore (long way but...

On the 22nd June (soon !) I'm off on my annual jaunt to the Nurburgring - my second time in the S3 after previous trips in an A3 3.2 DSG and Golf GTi MkV. Two questions: 1) Anyone know what the new S3's best recorded time is round the Ring ? I can find the 8L times but not the 8P anywhere. Not...
