haha, so none of the M cars then? You'll be ******** when you come up against a 135.....
i reckon i could beat you to 100 if you have a rolling start at 75mph lol
lol you wouldn't stand a chance, even at 60mph it pulls away from my mapped s3
Guarantee I would beat you to 100mph from a rolling start, I would just knock you straight off your bike and drive away
+1 I will be getting a 135i in a few weeks hopefully.
They need to look at stylingLucky you, they are nice, and quick (0-60 sub 5 I read), BMW are leading the modern hot hatches with these things.

Im feeling the Nissan 370z more than the BMW it just has that performance edge on it, not massively quicker but still quicker.
Drivetrain losses are not all what they seem either.
Most people look at dyno results, and use these to claim that a 4wd car has 30% loss but a FWD one only has 15%. However they fail to appreciate that once on the road, a FWD car has two more wheels which generate drag (ie loss) which were not measured on the dyno. Whereas the 4WD car had all four wheels measured. A huge proportion of the loss comes from the drag caused by the tyres, so those extra two undriven wheels mean the 2wd car isnt just losing 15% once actually moving along the road.

So so many cars slain over my modding days...
Favorites so far:
R8 V8 - 414 BHP - I was very disappointed in it.
Vauxhall VXR 8.
Evo MRFQ300/320/360 (The 400 puts up a fight and then loses once the S3 is into and above 3rd +)
Porsche 996 GT3 RS the other day - he was surprised.
Scoobies - UK 300's are my favourite slay of all. In fact, any scooby.
Guess I'll be going Garret then

Sounds like a plan dude, theres so much that needs doing though, its gonna take time!
I know what you mean about not waning to go through it again too!
Still..... 3rd time lucky lol
Lots more work this time than before as well
You total gits! Now I want a big turbo
^agreed, i think that would be the difference between say a golf r an s3. I still don't think that a mk6 gti with dsg would be as quick as a healthy stage 1 s3 though.
My piont is that if you buy a well looked after totally standard s3 and then spend £300 on a stage 1 and new dv valve you turn a quick car in to much quicker car that will embarrass many a'car with ignorante drivers that see the s3 and think expensive mk4 golf gti.
When i was looking to buy my car i came across this thread on ph. Reading it back now the guy is somewhat optimistic with his bhp predictions guessing 280hp from a stage 1 but having said that he came from a cerbera and his list of previously own cars is full of equally rapid motors so he is not comparing his audi's performance to a 1.2 fiesta.
Audi S3 1.8t tuning by Angel tuning
incidentally has anyone heard of angel tuning? I've not seen any1 on here with a map from them.
...so I started thinking. The most common upgrade for the turbo on the 1.8T is
the standard K04 used on our car with a wastegate mod and better downpipe
correct? This is capable of over 300hp (figures vary) and the internals crank
etc are safe for 350bhp so basically if I get it to hold enough boost and still
fuel correctly I should be able in principle to tweak it from 280ish flywheel hp
to 300-310bhp for the cost of a fuel pressure regulator, vacuum lines and an
EBC? All without changing any major mechanical components which would give me a
nice place to stop tuning if it works.
I love racing people in golf gti's who think they are faster than me.....
They sound OK, but the bloke writing it did too until I saw this:
I stopped reading then.

LOL, beating is the term.... :thumbsup:
Had a bit off a mad one last night, was cut up on a dual carriageway by a standard looking 3series and the red mist descended and a chase ensued, once traffic cleared he took off, and f*ck me he did go, surged off until the S3 hit boost then closed the gap, then went round a sharp bend (30mph) and this is where he took the inside and i took the outside, neck and neck in 2nd then i hit third and gained alot of ground and passed and continued to pull a big gap well into three figures
the guy followed me into the petrol station and came over to say how fast the S3 was, i asked what his was (it was black and 10pm) and it was a mapped 335d..... all i can say is the torque destroyed me when i was off boost, serious motors they are!!!!
Now I new that diesels have an immense amount of torque- but I think this site has just proven it to me!! The company can remap the 335d so it has more torque than a F430, Macca F1 and a Murci!! The final word on the BMW 335d remap before she goes â Remaps UK. | Remaps UK News - 0845 269 4064 There's one thing keeping up and hugging bumpers, but another thing overtaking and pulling gaps
I just managed to edge a 335d, that I guess was standard, when I had the CR hybrid on.
