S3 owner from Coventry
« on: January 06, 2015, 11:07:11 am »
Hi all,

S3 owner from Coventry. I've just had a custom remap by Niki at R-Tech and he recommended this forum for some good information on the 2.0TFSI  :happy2:. My clutch started to slip on the way but Nick limited the torque to allow me to have some fun while I search for a new clutch. My plan is to get a new clutch, HPFP and downpipe fitted as soon as possible before going back for 'stage 2'.

My car currently has H&R springs, MTC intake with ITG filter and an R-Tech stage 1 custom map.

Plans for the next month or two:
Clutch - I'm deciding whether to go for the Helix 6 paddle clutch or one of the Helix/Sachs organic versions and try not to do any harsh launches
'Stage 2' - HPFP and downpipe added to the standard exhaust
HEL brake lines
Retrofit cruise control
Change the DRL's to white to match the Osram Xenarc CBI headlights
Replace the card holder drawer with the cup holder option - It's the important things that matter!

I'll do the same. I wanted a white ED30 before I bought the S3 but the 3 door was hard to come by.

Welcome dude!
S3 owner here too! Have you decided which clutch to go for yet? I'm not sure for mine when the time comes.
