Short S3 Stage 1 Project
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 5:00 pm
Hi chaps,
as some of you may know i got rid of the rattle can that was my CRX SiR and replace it with a subtle little audi S3

now I promised myself i wouldnt tinker with it to much, the car is an everyday car that i want to keep civilised
all i wanted to do was possibly 'stage 1' it:thumbs:
this is now all but complete as from today
I dont know if anyone has dealt with Jabba before? I was well impressed today, great bunch of people, extremely impressive work and superb prices
The car came in with 210bhp and left with just under 270bhp!!!:sifone: and on supermarket super unleaded too, was informed it would perform even better on Shell V power
obviously figures arent the be all and end all...its how it drives on the road..and what a difference, to say im chuffed and impressed is an understatement! its like driving a different car, it pulls hard all the way through the rev range be it half throttle or full throttle
below are a couple of pics, including the dyno print out, will scan it when i get a chance
the graph shows a small amount of wheel spin(due to my pants tyres) this is shown on the graph when the power dips(haldex is pushing the power to the rear) the technition assured me that with better rubber this will not happen and the graph would have been smoother, and on the road the power delivery will be even and constant...he wasn't wrong:thumbs:
the only other slight issue was that it blew a coil pack, the chaps at jabba were quick to replace it for me and explain to my why they are prone to failure
so all in all im over the moon!!:party:
only other possible mods are

IN WITH THE NEW

only other possible mods are
- New alloys and tyres(probably RS4's or BBS CH's with decent tyres)
- miltek exhaust
