Prawny Baby Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Sounds smart, but isn't 263bhp a bit optimistic without fancy cams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) 260 brake on a K20 is fairly easily attained with aftermarket bolt ons. Add a good map and you're laughing.

LiamWood! Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I would of expected more power from that personally. Also why buy new oem K20a cams when aftermarket jobbies (Skunk2, Toda etc.) would do a better job. Still it leaves room for improvement from yourself. I'd estimate round the £8k mark for price too. If it's genuinely Y56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1040 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Done some haggling and got to agree on £7000 which seems a fair price i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete.M Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Had a ride in one of those the other day, not as tuned as that mind you. The handling is pretty mind-blowing, and it beats 95% of the competition at the "local" drag strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Guys I need some advice. My MK1 Caddy has been listed for sale, £1750. I want £1500 for it but you can only go down right. A chap near me has offered his Audi S3, reason being he wants something older and slower... Which doesn't make sense to me- but oh well. Here's the advert he linked me, first impressions- ragged, boy racered, high milage, problematic. The idea was to swap then sell it, but I feel like it's gonna be ridden with way more problems than the caddy which is mainly a cause of bodywork. http://www.swapz.co.uk/swapz/4853146/Audi_S3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Cos a 911 turbo oil filler cap will add 30bhp straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowlly21 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Just fitted a new back box to my car (mk6 zetec s ) When driving there is a slight vibration in the footwell, it makes no noise but you can feel it under your feet. Any ideas ? Backbox is a lovely fit and went on a dream thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 In before S3 hate! I'm skeptical of that car, won't know till you drive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Swapping just to sell again is hassle. I try to avoid that sort of thing, unless loads of profit is involved. Edited September 25, 2014 by Pete.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Beaut of a car though, drove the S3 quattro we had in a few weeks ago again today after tracking, still love it. Also mentions new turbo.. for what reason... ask more questions Jake, as you said it could be riddled with issues.

Greetings Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Some cool pics from a recent comp surfaced, shame they were taken with a Nokia 3210 Seeing these makes me wish we had a rallycross track nearby. Missus was sat on the passenger seat until she threw up 5 times during one run, thankfully with her mouth closed. Regardless, she got a trophy as a co driver 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
