    24JSeymour Sprint Blue S3 Project Thread

    Hi mate, ive been quite on nutz for some time now, but just last week i have bought a torsen 3.6 diff, just looking for a 6 speed now then time to forge the engine. The 19's never rubbed at all once i had fitted the stiffer ARB's I suppose it depends how low you run the car also, I washed them...

    It seems to be, ive never seen another one before in person when looking for one it had to be either in this santorini blue or dakar yellow, all the other colours dont really stand out as an M car just look like an ordinary 3 series haha

    24JSeymour Sprint Blue S3 Project Thread

    If i can find something that does as good of a job then sadly I will be selling the S3 at some point (mid2017) to make way for something else AWD+boost+paddles as my "sensible daily" which really isn't a daily at all haha! I have a works transit van for that. The S3 gets drove on weekends and...

    Id like to but im trying to be sensible and save up for something with more potential rather than plough more money into the S3, want something with Paddles next.. TTRS or GTR or an EVO 10 something along those lines

    When changing my clutch i noticed the selector had worn excessively which was causing huge amounts of play at the gear stick, i actually thought the nut had come loose it was that bad... So i orderd a short shifter of ebay for £30 which is pretty much identical to the forge one but for less than...

    Phantom S3 8P

    You defiantly wont regret it, made more of a difference to the handling characteristics than coilovers and whiteline anti-lift kit for me, The mx5 really is great! Its my first RWD car and it's just a blast to drive! Its so impractical and stiff and loud and rattly i love it. The S3 is my more...

    Phantom S3 8P

    A good read, car has came along way from when you bought it! Get the H&R anti roll bars on and it will deffinatly help with the rubbing on hard cornering ;) Your in the same boat as me now, not much else to do with the car other than going for a bigger turbo and push more power, car ownership...

    Nice! Yeah the foam base never had much weight to it but the backs aren't half a good chunk! Last year i got stuck with the luggage in the car while going round the trackso it was squatting and rubbing a fair bit, so taking the rear seats out will compensate the extra weight just incase that...

    Its not too bad its not snatchy like a paddle clutch, just with the pedal being stiffer it wants to spring up alot harder which makes it bite harder if that makes sense, i stalled the car reversing it off the ramp as the bite point was a lot further down and the pedal just flew up haha! Wasn't...

    Well spent yesterday afternoon down at the local lookers VW garage where my mate works and they were kind enough to let me use a ramp, so got the clutch in, the original audi one was shot! I was surprised it was the stock clutch tbh as it has held stage 2+ power for a good while but it was...
