    A3 electric window fault (I have searched)

    Had this issue with my 8l s3. It was the nylon clips that slide on the runners. You can find them on ebay and are easily replaceable if you are Mechanically minded. The reason why, when closing your window, it will either just stop or stop and drop down a bit is because these nylon parts are...

    Audi S3 (8L) Race-Car Project

    Of course, yeh. Well the old man tried to drive it but it's literally stiff as he'll, even at higher speed so it's not working at all. Like I said, no leaks, nothing. Perhaps pump is seized?? Just thought it might be something electrical since the old man nearly blew himself up trying to jump...

    Audi S3 (8L) Race-Car Project

    Howdy all!! Sorry I have been totally off radar for the past few months. I've been settling in to uni and looks as though (due to lack of funding) the S3 project will be set back. Though in that time the decision has been made to keep her stock. Shine her up a beut and store her away over the...

    Grilles are not sprayed mate i can assure you, its definitely standard color. So what ever color it is i guess will remain a mystery :/

    Audi S3 (8L) Race-Car Project

    Yeh, my friends boss runs his TVR Tuscan in the series. Mint looking car! Honestly mate, at this stage, the goal is build the car on as cheap a budget as possible, incorporate it into my course and just take part in the series. Positioning right now is irrelevant :) .... I have had thought, to...

    I believe so bud. I initially thought that the color was 'dolphin grey' but as someone said earlier in the thread it is not. I am pretty sure its an original color. I'm glad you like it :)

    Though after some thought and public opinion, 4wd could potentially not be an issue. Depending on what coarse i take - A3 fwd or S3 4wd

    Audi S3 (8L) Race-Car Project

    Hi, Snowy. I'm sure there is a section i read, either in the MSVT handbook or elsewhere.... i've just spent the last 20 mins trying to find such info, with little luck. I had spoken to chap on the phone who works on the MSVT comittee i beleive and i was assured i would be able to enter the car...

    Audi S3 (8L) Race-Car Project

    Yeah i hear you buddy, it may be a case of holding off for a while until i can muster the money for an a3 to use for the build. I'm getting a lot of negativity with stripping the s3 and i totally understand it, and to be honest it has made me question that which is great. It's quite an annoying...

    Audi S3 (8L) Race-Car Project

    I get what you're saying bud, this kinda ties in with the decision of turning a really good condition s3 to race car. Kinda like killing a unicorn. Perhaps if more money comes my way and i'm able to buy another a3 on the cheap, it may end up being a better learning curve as i'm sure ill come...

    Yeh dude. I'd have seven A3/S3's if i could! And honestly, i dont know why i hardly see any in racing... the only audi i know of is in rallycross, but thats a modern day A1/S1. I'm surprised i dont see more being put to good use, as we all know they are great cars! I've started reading a thread...

    Audi S3 (8L) Race-Car Project

    If i manage to get a reduction down to 1300kg as rollcage and safety equipment will add some weight back. (just as a guide) If do bhp/metric tonne - 225/1.3=173.08 So the racing series i'm looking at caters for class B at 175bhp per tonne. 1300kg seems a more realistic number so after weight...
