just seen this in the carpark opposite work thought id share it. :)

Hey dan.. i remember you from the CRX board!! you still driving them! Have to say i was thinking of going back to one at one point but there just too old now for my liking... still a great car though!

yeah... im having to watch it now aswell... especially when i boot it and the trip computer says 4MPG!!!

Yes... put some BP Ultimate in this morning at a grand price of 100.9p Anyone toped that??

haha photo shop wont show you anything cause the pictures will have been taken at different distances .... if i took mine from a mile away then the 312s would probably fit behind some nice 8" wheels! :D

the 312's behind my lovely 18" RS4s think about it... the disc alone is 3.2 cm bigger than that disc... and the caliper will be the same if not bigger... i think your dreaming trying to get 312s behind there.... stick to 288s

i dont think they would go. those wheels... although they are 16s... dont leave alot of room inside. im away for a couple of weeks.. but presuming i still have the s3 when im back... we could meet and you could try the wheel on mine.

nice. are they early s3 headlights?

have you driven both? just noticed it was a 1990 actually... sure its a vtec? 1990 was the change over year and only the very very late 1990 ones were vtec. earlier ones were 130 bhp 16v.

sorry but its not more stable! the crx is such a planted car! and the imports werent higher bhp. they were all twin cam and had 160bhp. you could get single cam cars but i dont think they were vtec. I'd still have my money on the honda

i have to say i think the crx handles slightly better than the corrado so if its twisty... my money is on the crx.....and as you will see from my sig.. i have owned both a crx and a corrado!

dont know what car that is... but it certainly dont look like a 360 or and it definately isnt a 355 so....?? not sure

nice... i think thats the colour i would like WHEN i get another corrado

is that all!!! i got £6500 for my 98k vr6 and that was last year.. i thought prices were getting stronger!?

browns.... haha... i can kinda see you fitting in there with your highly polished shoes and best pulling shirt! mmmmm. nice!

bumped inton cilla black in harrods last year. then bumped into her bentley that was parker right outside with the plate C1LLA Rory McGrath (think thats his name... dude with the gingerish afro from they think its all over) .. i often see him wandering around cambs.. drinks in either the green man in granchester or the freepress in town. raced jason barlow (editor of car magazine) in his jag XJR.. he lives near my friend in bishops stortford... chased him round the bypass in the damp and had some nice views of his tail sliding around!! actually my friend cleans his windows and asked if he can shaddow him while he works for a week as he wants to get into that kinda thing... jason gave him his office number and when my friend went in to meet him jason said 'now... you wont be able to drive all the cars due to insurance.. but you should be able to drive some' :D bonus.. my mate was just expecting to shaddow him.. not drive the cars! shows what can happen if you just ask

correct also correct... i'll get my coat... and a golf on the way out the door

good save kev! i was reading down the thread and was about to jump in saying the old a3/s3 wasnt that boring! :D re golf / new a3 personally i think the new a3 with the right styling looks pretty darn good. I wouldnt buy a golf as it is massively over priced for such a low spec! once you add the extras like leather, xenons, recaros etc.. your looking at the best part of £24k! The new a3 handling is alot better than the old standard a3 and the spec is better than the golf. Personally that would get my vote (and i have been in both... all be it the 3.2 a3 not the 2.0 t)

what are the r32 ones? 328mm IIRC?? but they will definately have the twin pot calipers

dinkus, s3 with 150bhp... lol wtf... call yourself a car forum moderator! it sounds like your 90% there... just need some 312 discs (which are only £10 each more than the 288's) and some carriers (which ok at £180 for the pair are expensive .... but think of your breaking!!!) on a side note... if you have kevs 16" 6 spoke ebay wheels.... didnt he have trouble getting standard 280 brake behind them!?!?

i think the 150bhp tt's might have had the smaller ones but i think 180 and 225 both had the 312s S3 is definately 312!!! he was wrong if he said 288

no prob pads if you need 1J0 698 151M £40.92 + VAT tell you what.. i'll do you a special price ... £14k for all my 312mm breake set up and you get a free S3 with it :D

mmmm im bloody hungry now.

dinkus, audi part number for the 312 discs and price from VAG parts 8N0 615 301A £42.73 + VAT EACH kevhaywire, did you need spacers for your setup? the callipers i sold you were mk4 ones IIRC.. or doesnt it matter as you were still using MK3 discs??

you are correct that 288 and 312 both use the same calliper.. just different carriers s3 and tt are exactly the same i know that much.. interestingly.. TT v6 and r32 callipers are the same size but have 2 pistons instead of 1 so that could be yet another upgrade
