    Quick shifter

    Glen, Search through some previous posts, I believe someone said they had fitted a Neuspeed one to their S3 and it was terrible so they took it off again. This was a while ago. Cheers GBH

    Attention: S3 Owners with 19" rims

    Tanya I have had rubbing on the arches on one occasion, and at that stage I had 5 in the car and was having it large round a roundabout. Other than that, Ive had no problems at all.

    Help! Power Loss

    I hope someone out there can help me. My car is an APR chipped S3 and isn't running correctly. Sometimes its fine, and then sometimes it runs like it hasn't got a turbo fitted. Someone has suggested that this may be my N75 valve? Can anybody offer any advice as to what they think it might be...
