    I have had the dreaded malfunction light on the dash of my b8 S4 luckily the car was under a dealer warranty to get the selector module replaced! Has anyone got any experience or insight on any upgraded parts to prevent it happening again?

    Handling/ steering upgrades

    what set ups have people got to get more ‘feel’ from the steering? The ‘numbness’ of the steering is driving me mad. I only have h&r springs at the moment. All inputs are welcome

    Potential New S4 Owner

    That’s a BIG gain from just a catback and intake! Could the clutch and box handle it?

    Potential New S4 Owner

    Thanks! I like having a manual but I have never had an auto to compare. Do you know if the standard clutches/dsg handle the power without any upgrades apart from mapping? Do they have a cam follower like the 2.0 tfsi does? What power output are you getting and what’s the full mods list for...

    Potential New S4 Owner

    What power output are you getting on stage 1? Are there any companies that custom map these or is it just the revo & aprs?

    Potential New S4 Owner

    Evening all, I’ve got a manual stage 2+ s3 at the moment and I’m thinking of ‘growing up’ meaning a 4 door. What are the 3.0 tfsi engine like? I’ll be looking to get the pulley and the 1+ map done but I’m wondering if im going to need to add costs for a new clutch etc. What are people’s thoughts...

    DB9 brake calipers

    morning all, Looking at a brake upgrade, do the Aston Martin rear calipers fit to the front of our s3s with the adaptors as well or is it just the fronts? It looks as though the rear calipers are the same as the front calipers on the db9s.

    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    What spacers did you go for? I’ve seen a few different brands, surely they are all more or less the same?

    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    H&R springs and TTRS top mounts gone in. Now the wheels look lost in the arches . Who knows what thickness spacers you can use with standard wheel bolts?

    What clutch kits for tte420?

    im running a mild stage 2+ until the standard clutch has comepletely had it. I’m going for a helix clutch but the question is as I’m trying to “future proof” the car for a potential TTE420. Do people run a SMF to handle the power or has anyone got experience of running a DMF as they are rated...

    De-Cat / Stage 2 Question

    I didn’t know you could valve delete the standard exhaust! I’m running a scorpion DP and decat. I’m just intrigued to see how the stock cat back holds up.

    De-Cat / Stage 2 Question

    @HHS3 post up your figures with the 2+Map. I’m curious to see how the decatted standard exhaust holds up compared to a full TBE as that’s what I have on mine at the moment. I’m just waiting for my clutch to give up, then booking in to r tech for 2+.

    S3 flatspot at around 5000rpm

    I think I’ve seen your posts on the Facebook page. I’m on the same wave length, as i build to 2+ I’m trying to take into consideration the possibility of going hybrid so I don’t end up buying twice. I was looking into Wagner’s IC. I heard peron are bringing out a revised core for there’s soon...

    S3 flatspot at around 5000rpm

    The mapper picked it up and put the loba in as the standard wasn’t running at the right output. I have had the map on for about 3/4 months the flatspot only really started about 2/3weeks a go. Reason I’m not at 2+ is that I’m waiting for an inter cooler and I need to do the clutch. I didn’t...

    Pre facelift black grill

    Firstly, apologies! I know it's been covered a million and one times but does anyone know where to buy a black pre facelift s3 grill? I've seen mentioned that you can get them from Audi but I can't find a part number. If they don't has anyone got any links? It's for an S3 so a different size...
