CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Yes its not a corrado but its still german! 1999 Imola Yelow S3 pre facelift,very tidy,only one tiny dent and bloody good paint! Traveled to north wales to get it off a chap from Audi sport.net,it was worth the trip the car has all the mods i would have done to it at some point. Revo stage 2, SPS3, RS6 reps, Pirelli P Zero Rosso, Cupra R splitter, Brembo's, 323mm EBC Turbo Grooved Discs, Ferrodo DS2500 Pads, Forge DV, Forge FMIC, Fidanza Aluminium Flywheel, Sachs Clutch, Green Cotton Dynatwist induction kit, 3" Downpipe,200cel sports cat, Milltek cat back, Bilstein B8's, KW rear adjustable tie bars ,Whiteline Adjustable ARB's, Eibach Springs, Powerflex Bushes,braided hoses etc.... It goes very well indeed and the box is super smooth,and has so much grip it truly amazes me,stading still,rev 6k rpm,esp off and drop the clutch and no wheel spin just hurdles you forward...im in love. Not a corrado but defo aworthy car to step up to.. Just going to change the wheels and change the chrome to black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slimg60 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Very nice, An S3 would be top of my list on Corrado replacement cars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Nice one, as I said I loved mine. Very quick point to point cars. I had some 18in MTM Bimoto reps on and they looked brilliant plus plenty of room for big brakes. Only thing I had to do on mine was CCT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Thaks folks,im loving driving this all over the place and as a daily car its superb! its one of the top cars ive owned so far...bar the raddo of course :tongue: As for performance Mr H its around 270hp plenty to go about as a daily without being to heavy on the fuel,but you can 100% use all that power so its a fun car! :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted April 26, 2010 I've remember my S3 on GT28RS having close to 350 ps. It was a very scary fast car but Corrado always will be Corrado and I can't meet old lady driving it like I use to have met few times in Audi S3. Good luck. Best colour to buy :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Looks like a really clean example, full leather looks far better than the bi coloured alcantara centred seats. You must have drawn up a list of plans by now you can't help yourself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted April 30, 2010 It is tidy for the year,its had paint on in the past but its been a good jod,no plans for now,it has all the important bits already done,bar fit a stock airbox back on and some rim change it will stay as is .....for a while :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Was just going to ask about the top of the 3/4's as there quite common for issue up there. Looking good. Found this pic on my computer, perfect wheels for the S3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted May 3, 2010 Pulled the front bumper off to spary the intercooler black as i did not like it sticking out like a thumb...for a forge kit im not impressed with the pipework at all....this will be changed later on.. :pukeright: inside shot on the intake of the cooler,not the deflector plate to channel the air to the top as well as the bottom.....but half the cooler is covered up by the bumper and iron... :confused4: Today i went down to york drag way and put the s3 through its paces on the 1/4 mile best i got was 14.36,not bad but by the end of the year it will be in the low 12s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
