MY AUDI S3 IM A NEWBIE FROM THE UK !!
Monday, February 14, 2005 12:52 PM
hi im a newbie from the uk. i have been looking at your website for a few months but just never registered. i drive a silver audi s3 with the following mods:

Chipped - (car now approx 270 bhp). Faster than factory spec. estimated 0 - 60 around 5.5 seconds.

Kahn RS-4 Alloys - 19" with low profile tyres

Modified Air Filter & Exhaust all providing extra BHP and a unique performance and sound

also has airbrushed graphics that i dont like but i bought the car off a guy who got them airbrushed on and he has gave me the receipt for them which is £2500!!

also has tinted windows. im going to modify it more when i have enough money

j-body rules. p.s my nana lives in california so i am in longbeach quite often around 10 times a year


here are the pics.

Yea I loved the A3's when I was in Italy for the last two summers! Even though you didn't do the graphics I think it will look ALOT better with em taken off! If they're decals they won't be hard to get off but if painted on or vynl I think it'll be kinda tough!

I myself am a HUGE fan of Audi.....it's like the cars they make a perfect for what I need! Specifically the S4 haha! Wouldn't mind an S8 though! Nice to have ya and stick around!


N2O + Bolt-ons = 220Hp/250Tq

Audi=Overpriced VW.

But I always thought the A/S3 was a better looking Golf.
VW has so much easy potential to become fast as hell.

Curious, what brings you to this board?
Welcome!
