    19x9 Wheel Fitment

    Thanks Jojo, My measurements say it should work, but I don't want to get screwed by 1 or 2mm fowling the struts. + Measuring with the trusty ruler isn't always the most accurate.

    19x9 Wheel Fitment

    Hi all, I've been reading up on various wheel fitment threads and couldn't find a succinct answer for fitting 19x9 wheels to the front of an S3 8L. Currently I think 19x9 et25 will work with 235/35/19 tires, the rim will poke slightly, but the tire should tuck back under the fender and it...

    Brembo Identification Help

    Ok, so after further internet trawling. I've come to the conclusion that i do indeed have the brembo jr kit, and my measuring probably sucks. Its most likely I have USR1338 Ultimax 323x38mm disc's fitted, and therefore any LCR 323mm disc (or pad) should fit. I just wish I found this info...

    Brembo Identification Help

    Hmm upon further digging, it appears that Brembo also makes a 328x28mm rotor. So i guess its best i find the part number. Does anyone know where one might typically find the ID number on a brembo kit ? This looks like it could be part of the caliper ID, but before I get the Dremel out and...

    Brembo Identification Help

    Hi All, The time has come to replace my rotors and pads. I just need some help Identifying what gear I have bolted to the car, as I cant track down any identification numbers. As far as I can tell, I have a Brembo GT JR Kit with single bleed nipples? And 330mm x 25mm rotors. And am i right in...

    S3 Gearbox help! Probably expensive

    Cheers guys, I hope your right. I've had the shiftier on for a good year and a half. So maybe something has let go. I might need to drop the box regardless, I don't think the 2nd gear pulls did the original clutch any good.

    S3 Gearbox help! Probably expensive

    Hi all, Firstly, I've read through most of the gearbox woes threads on the forum. I think I might have sheared a selector fork (FML if this is the case). But not a 100% sure as my case seem a little different. Hoping to get some feedback/advice. For context - I drive an 02 BAM S3 8l, and I...

    oe looking gauges for 8l

    It's custom. Made it from a mk4 gauge cowling and an oem a3/s3 top cowling. Link to an old post with a bit more information and broken photos.

    Bi-xenon upgrade

    I bought the MORIMOTO FX-R 3.0 with the 2.5" lens, which is meant to have better output than the Mini H1. I mocked it up weeks ago. Its tight but, it just fits. So i doubt you would fit anything larger. Plus, the stock headlight has a 2" hole for the projector. The ebay cheapy lights have a...

    Tail lights wont go off

    I had the same thing a year ago. Not sure about the price, it's not to bad iirc. Pretty easy if you take off the lower dash for access (4 or 5 torx bolts). This Link has a bit more detail.

    Lorryz S3 8l

    I agree, the blue controller was ludicrously priced for the gains it would have provided. I've always found the Haldex awd system quiet off putting, compared to a fixed awd car. Hopefully the New TouchMotion will make the torque transfer feel more consistent or linear or just feel better :D...

    Lorryz S3 8l

    An Update! I've been quiet busy in the last 4 1/2 months since my last update. So unfortunately, I haven't had much time to fiddle with the car or take photos. In that time, I had all the cosmetic damaged fixed on the car. Which included a new passenger door, fender and front bumper, as well...

    GTD engine in S3

    Agreed, at the end of the day, an S3 is just another hot hatch.

    My minor modding thread

    Man, you make this look easy. Are you running the old Mini d2s with the 2.5" lens or the newer mini d2s 3.0 (3" inch) ?

    Lorryz S3 8l

    I joined the installing a 3" downpipe on jack stands club this week. Can't say I would do it again, but it was thoroughly satisfying once the job was done. The old one came out in three pieces, then to get the new one in. I needed to lower the sub frame and undo the drive shaft. I also...

    My minor modding thread

    Haha... I'd be surprised if there was somebody on here that didn't. I know your all about the OEM+ look. Yeah, I kind of agree. The s3 has the best light output I've ever had on a car.
