    Porsche brakes

    Does anyone know whats the biggest discs with porsche calipers will fit 17" alloys on an 8L S3 and where i can get 2nd hand calipers from. I'm on a tight budget for this upgrade so new calipers would put it in to 4 figures. Awesome sell the caliper mounts but i need to know the caliper options...

    ...is it true true that 225 S3's have a more 'mappable' ECU?

    As far as i know the only diffeance between the 210bhp and the 225bhp is the standard spec ECU map. When they first bought out the S3 they didnt want it to be as powerfull as the TT so it was restricted. If u get a remap done on either engine it will produce similar figures so theres not much in...

    Forge Brake Vacuum Hose. Where's It Go?

    Sorry i'm a bit late with pics but here it goes... This shows the old hose removed, i moved aside the turbo hose to gain access to remove the crimp clips holding the vacuum hose on. The most difficult part is pushing the new hose on the bottom pipe, its a tight fit and you might need someone...

    Regal Evo motorsport induction kit.

    Yeah its a relocation kit from forge for the DV, dead easy to fit. Not sure of any noticable gains yet from the bits i've put on, maybe it doesnt like the hot weather. Im planning for a FMIC, full milltek system and remap by the end of the year. I've also ordered a blue hose to replace the...

    Regal Evo motorsport induction kit.

    It is a cone and it comes with a plastic shroud with a ducting take off on it to fit a cool air feed, i covered the shroud with 'adhesive backed heat barrier' to reflect the heat. It sounds good but not noticed any power gain, its never been rolling roaded though. You can hear the forge DV when...

    S3 Oil Leak.

    My S3 seems to have developed a slight oil leak, i have noticed oil sat on top of the gearbox bellhousing so it must be from the right hand side of the engine if looking at it from the front. Is there any common problems with cam cover casket etc, its hard to see where its coming from but the...

    Forge Brake Vacuum Hose. Where's It Go?

    I have one on my S3 AMK, it goes on the left side of inlet manifold under the other vacuum pipe, dead easy to fit, my old one did look a bit mushy inside so worth changing them.

    S3 8L wheels recomendations

    I am wanting to upgrade the alloys on my 2001 S3, what would you guys recomend as a good balance between, Lightness, Looks and Easy to maintain. I want 18s but is there a difference in handling between 8in wide and 8.5in? Budget is £1000 - £1500 What is the correct offset i need? Thanks........

    Regal Evo motorsport induction kit.

    Throttle response seems a bit better and its gives a nice mid range noise, apart from that and Forge silicon hoses and diverter valve its the only mods i've done, so dont expect much yet, I need full exhaust system de-cat and remap to get the best out of it i think.

    Regal Evo motorsport induction kit.

    Has anyone fitted an Evolution motorsport induction kit from Regal? I ordered one on sunday, they didnt send me any email confirmation that it was on its way, luckly someone was in when it turned up. I had a right headache trying to fit it. The pipe work you get is far too long for the space it...

    LOWERING

    If you do buy coilovers make sure you get good quality ones from a manufacturer involved in motorsport. Bilstein, H&R eibach, etc. Dont buy cheap ones because although it will look good slammed the handling will be worse than with standard springs and dampers.
