Carls S3 8P

[Carlos24]

Well I have had my S3 a month now, I was sold it with a miltek downpipe and stage 1 remap and have added a few bits and bats to get it to where I want it to be.

Since I have bought it I have added a Revo induction kit and miltek non-resonated cat back to complete the exhauat. I have also changed all the interior lights to LED type's as well as the number plate lights and the DRL's for a whiter light.

I intend to have a HPFP fitted and am uprated clutch and then go for stage 2+ but I think that will be after my wedding in October! Anyways here are a few pictures...

Forgot to post some interior pics!

Stage one with the filter and full exhaust is around the 300-320bhp mark and the same in torque! Stage 2+ is around 350-370bhp and 370-400 lb/ft and that's the limit of the K04 turbo...

Nice car OP.

I had a remapped 57 plate around 4 years ago and it was a pretty fast car, it didn't miss a beat in the 2 years I had it.

I have a b8 RS4 now and to be honest the S3 wasn't that much slower.

[Carlos24]

I can't imagine there was much in it in give and take driving it's just when you get to wind the RS4 out that you notice the difference I bet, I would still definitely love an RS4 at some point as well!

I'd highly recommend the RS4 if you get the chance they're great cars

[Carlos24]

Yeah it's deffo on the list of cars I want to own, just purely for the engine!

Looks very tidy and clean that, good buy

[Carlos24]

Yeah it deffo seems like a good one and has all the options that I wanted, the RNS stereo and sat nav i managed to get a 2016 disc for so it has speed cameras and full postcode entry now and I added a iPod connection in place of the cd changed and it links to my phone for calls etc and obviously the bucket seats are awesome!

Any suspension/handling mods planned?

[Carlos24]

Having just come from an impreza WR1 on coil overs I am not planning any major changes just yet as I am enjoying what is a very comfortable ride at the moment! I am going to change the rear anti roll bar for a stiffer item to get rid of some under steer but it isn't anywhere as terminal as people make out in my opinion, certainly not in road driving anyways..

[Carlos24]

Also this is a little sound bite of how the exhaust sounds... Incase anyone is curious.

Very nice, I've got an '07 in blue. Out of interest, what have you used for the DRLs to avoid an error on the dash, did you use resistors or code it out? I had LEDs but got fed up with the error so now have PIAA blue bulbs which look fine but could do with being a bit brighter, didn't really want to play with resistors and cutting into wires!

[Carlos24]

The DRL's are just bulbs that I got off ledperf I think the website was, I got all the LED's off them and have had no canbus problems whatsoever... I had a slight issue with the sidelights but a bit of swapping around sorted that.
