Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8v In Here

After a couple of years running around in a Leon, I found my way back to Audi!

Had an Autotrader filter set up for a long time with my perfect spec and eventually found this and snapped it up.

Here she is after testing out my new suction mounted bike rack earlier..

Definitely the best place for a bike. And without the front wheel. :icon thumright:
And the car is nice too.

Car is absolutely nice, but it would always be on my mind while driving is the bike going to fall off its suction mounts then scratch and dent its way down my car? :anguished:

You’re not wrong. I was so paranoid about it the first time I tried them but they’re so strong it’s insane!

Popped on some new Quantum44 S5D’s that I picked up for a decent price. Maybe some coilovers next...

Nice pic and 132km is impressive too!
Thanks!
5-7000 km’s between oil changes and air filter, brake fluid, sparkplugs every 30K so take good care of it.
Only engine issue was a failty thermostat, got replaced under warranty so new coolant as well.
Never let me down so best car I’ve ever owned :)

Hey guys, first post from Oz. Just bought an S3 for a daily, proud owner of a B7 RS4. Every time I googled questions about Audi’s it would send me here, question, what’s the first thing you should do to a stock S3? Tune? Exhaust? It lacks the theatre around the suburbs and I want it o be an experience every time I turn the key.

Nice car mate. I've had mine for 4 years now and only now I'm considering tuning it. I've done a little research and have chosen APR stage 1 for starters. Apparently the S3's respond well to ecu tunes. Official figures on APR's site say a bhp hike of 75 and over 40 torques for the 8v S3 Not sure what gains to be had for your 8p version. Anyway having a tune would be first port of call:icon thumright:

Mine after a clean yesterday. Was previously own by another member on this forum. Got to be one of the best cars I have owned. Lotus grey is an amazing colour.

Low end torque would be good I think, mine definitely needs an exhaust sounds like a diesel van , my mechanics do APR tunes, might get a stage 1 and see how that goes.
