Lippy 0 Posted May 9, 2007 thought as much, cheers mate. Is that due to the engine mounted longways rather than across? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dog fart 0 Posted May 20, 2007 Spent hours today cleaning and polishing, only for the result to be let down by my naff camera phone! My S3 and her little brother :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonedef 9 Posted July 28, 2007 I sold mine today, gutted, I almost felt like crying as I watched it drive away. Time to plan for what to have next, I feel a diesel dog coming on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonedef 9 Posted July 28, 2007 I got mine this week, quick pic in my gallery. Very pleased with it :D Very nice, would like to upgrade to the new one at some stage. Mine had to go for two reasons: 1) Off to Saudi for a while so too many cars on the drive! 2) Done over 20K miles in it in the last year so thought I'd better part before the mileage gets ridiculous.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 31, 2007 The new S3 is over a second faster round Evo's track than the R32, which until then was the reigning champ. I think it's an extremely dull car aesthetically, but dynamically and performance wise, it's right on the money.....good choice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's an extremely dull car aesthetically, but dynamically and performance wise, it's right on the money.....good choice! Having had it a week now I can safely say the Autocar review of it is very accurate, other reviewers weren't quite so impressed. Great fun around roundabouts and although it isn't maybe different enough looking to an S-Line A3 it certainly has heads turning - maybe it's the colour :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gogsboy 0 Posted August 12, 2007 I sold mine today, gutted, I almost felt like crying as I watched it drive away. Time to plan for what to have next, I feel a diesel dog coming on. Did the buyer drive a hard bargain, was he a trader? Just I noticed it up for sale and they are asking 8.5k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonedef 9 Posted August 12, 2007 I sold mine today, gutted, I almost felt like crying as I watched it drive away. Time to plan for what to have next, I feel a diesel dog coming on. Did the buyer drive a hard bargain, was he a trader? Just I noticed it up for sale and they are asking 8.5k Well he drove a bit of a bargain but not all that hard, and if he's put new disks and pads all round (they were getting ready) then with a bit of talking down he's gonna take a bath on it for sure! He didn't say he was a trader but he had just sold an M3 so maybe missing some of the power? If anyone's interested in it I'll vouch for the fact it's a pretty nice motor, could do with some paint probably as I did a lot of fairly high speed motorway miles in it and the front bumper, bonnet and front wings wear the stone chips to prove it. Bit cheeky using my pictures of it parked on my drive I think, guess I'd given it a real good clean that day :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryc 0 Posted December 25, 2010 Is it true the only difference between the 210 and 225 is a remap? i thought they had different engine codes? 225 = bam? Im looking for one now 5 to 5.5k to spend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted December 25, 2010 Holly thread resurrection batman ! as what they have said on audi sport,its the same motor,different map,no sai or ex temp probe which makes no difference,once any one is mapped they produce the same power. If you drove the 210 or 225 you would not feel the difference,bar front and rear lights and interior trim its the same car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryc 0 Posted December 25, 2010 Haha thanks for the reply, didnt notice till just now that this thread has been dead for over 3 years!!! In that case i'll get the 210 and get it re-mapped! Thanks for clearing that up, just seen the flood of reply's on audi net Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
