    s3 cat d

    Hmmm, I don't think there's anything too wrong with a cat d car, but it would have to be a complete bargain, and have a proper report along with it. You'd also have to be prepared to run it into the ground if you had to, resale would be awful, just look at how many people have said leave it on...

    What's this flap thing??

    Those 2 inches can let a hell of a lot of brightness through though!

    ARB spec

    I think the H&R ones are a slightly different size to the neuspeed ones. You need TT ones. Hope it helps

    couple of questions from a newbe

    I completely agree, the MPG after remap went up on motorway journeys and down when caning it (compared to before the remap). So overall not much difference.

    S3 (8L) vs 3.2 (8P) which is better?

    Surely it would have to be supercharged to be "that" much faster. I test drove one before I had my S3 chipped, and was a bit disspointed. It was too soft and didn't feel any quicker than my S3, DSG is cool though.

    I've just been told that Optimax has ceased production !!

    V power is definitely for sale in France and switzerland too. It was 102 RON when I was in Switzerland with my car in Jan. Was a bit too pricey for me at the time though, so can't comment on how good it is!

    Dump Valve - A3 Turbo

    I was looking for £50 for it. It hasn't been used much, and it's immediately obvious how and where to fit it. (I sent you a PM - check your inbox) I'm about as far from a mechanic as you can get! The standard part that cheap? Where from? I thought they'd be really expensive. The forge one is...

    Second hand performance Haldex...

    I thought it was just a straight swap? But I'd check, do a search and see if you can find someone on here that already has one.

    reliability??????????

    [ QUOTE ] I was referring to people including brakes as a cost associated with reliability i.e. "My S3 is so unreliable it needs new discs & pads every 12 months" OK if it needs new calipers then fair enough but pads, discs & tyres are nothing to do with reliability. [/ QUOTE ] I know what...

    Are S3's Slow??

    It sounds like a standard Turbo V's NA question. See the 993 thread for loads of chat on this subject! On another note, why do you need to be quick off the line? With 4WD the clutch won't last long with loads of 0-60 launches. I found in general driving there isn't too much that's quicker...

    reliability??????????

    [ QUOTE ] I may have has a change of heart about new car (doesn't that just happen all the time) but we'll see, I still plan to sell mine as soon as possible and get something RWD and fun. [/ QUOTE ] Know how you feel. Can change a lot! My S3 in 2 years and 25,000 miles (starting at 35k)...

    reliability??????????

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Nissan 350z for me I think. [/ QUOTE ] You'll be spending a LOT of money on new clutches then from what I hear! [/ QUOTE ] Does that say something about the way that the average 350Z owner drives? I do really like them. I'd have one now if i could afford it. (why did...

    Glen (who started the thread), Are you any closer to a 993 yet? Very interesting. Doesn't everyone now want a porsche? I know I do.

    The old chestnut of which Tyres ....

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I think I'd get Prada Spec 2's if it wasn't for me hearing they arn't that great in the wet which would ruin some of the most enjoyable driving I have in my S3. [/ QUOTE ] A little of topic, but i've heard a lot of people talking about driving their s3's in the wet and how...

    Remap trial versions - can they interfere with each other?

    [ QUOTE ] It may cause problems if you go for a re-map somewhere else in the future. For Instance, all REVO trial software has to be removed (at cost) before the new map is installed. The REVO software does not revert back the factory map when the trial run out, it installs REVO's version of...
