Hello from an S3 owner
« on: May 11, 2010, 12:48:20 pm »
Hi,
Just thought i'd say hello. Met a few of you on the recent ring trip (good to meet you all). I currently have a black S3 which is currently standard. I was thinking about updating the brakes but having been out in a rather quick sprint blue S3 with standard brakes - but up rated pads? I think i'll save my money there and look to blue flame and revo, or some new wheels for now...
Not got any pics of the car to post as yet, but there is one of mine in the ring trip thread.

Andy.

Welcome.

You'll find that some different software will greatly improve the drive of your car and to be honest the OEM brakes will be more than adequate at stage 1 level.

I recently sold an Ibis White S3 and now have another on order to replace it, this time with DSG - Can't wait!!

Well better to start by being as a chicane as opposed to becoming part of one. Was great fun though. I have already just specced up a Mk6 R and S3 sportback so I suspect you maybe right  :grin:

I'll just have to look into selling a limb to pay for the next trip. Oh and i've also been looking at other bits and bobs should I keep this one.... an expensive time me thinks  :signLOL:
