In this video I take a look at the MK1 Audi S3 whilst trying to put my own spin on things, by attempting to ask the question 'has the MK1 Audi S3 had its day?'.
First released in 1999, the MK1 S3 was the flagship hot-hatch for audi - fast forward more than 20 years and how does it stack up today? You'll have to watch the above to find out!
As always, massive thank you to OEM Plus UK for the car. Links to all of our socials below.

Keep in mind that these cars came with a micro turbo. Once you bolt on a hybrid turbo or tweek it for big turbo.. then this chassis becomes a monster and will keep up or surpass these newer hot hatches 👌

@ChristopherGower 3 года назад

Taswell Barthus I don’t doubt. It’s the perfect base to be modified. It’s a very capable car/chassis to build upon, especially with the Quattro!

Yes but then you need to do the rods too

@@HUGO-xo2mv you can get away with stock rods if the tuner knows what he's doing lol

I had one in 2003 ! RJ52XSR. Part-xd it for a B5 RS4 in 2006 which I still own today.

@ChristopherGower 3 года назад

carl lynch amazing. We are actually in the process of trying to acquire a B5 RS4. Brilliant cars, although I am yet to have the pleasure of driving one!

@carllynch8798 3 года назад

Christopher Gower not a real drivers car and handles not too good But the engine is a masterpiece Cosworth developed Mine is running 490bhp and 517lbft torque with Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, H&R arbs, Wagner Intercoolers, B7 RS4 brakes, braided lines, upgraded fuel pump, ITG panel filter, Milltek full dual 3”inch exhaust and MRC remap Had 50k miles on the clock when I bought it from Tonbridge Audi in 2006 now has 209k

@ChristopherGower 3 года назад

What a spec! sounds like a really nice build. It's interesting that you picked this up at Tonbridge, I actually live not far from there. If you're still in the area it would be interesting to meet some time - even film a video on your car!? If not i'm sure i'll spot it out on the open road at some point.

@roystonhughes3278 Год назад

21 years old s3 quattro classic 1.8t 2002 can't be put against the new generation of today's vehicles, you will have to get 2018 and above for the comparison bhp, but if forge engine with supporting mods and G25-550 now it will move and this is why people use the audi tt for it's aerodynamics through the air

@ca9968 Год назад

I had one in South Africa in 2003, mine was in a dark metallic emerald green color, after a few minor mods it was an absolute weapon, nothing could keep up on a twisty piece of tarmac...sadly the car hi-jacking syndicates in South Africa had shopping lists as long as a mans arm for the S3 and mine was taken away from me at gun point...

It is a brilliant car, owned 2 1.8t engines, finally decided to go for a full on ppwer build, it is a very capable car

@tino897 2 года назад

The trick is to find a good example that wasnt tuned. Be it the 209 or 225 hp version.

@ajones13113 3 года назад

Absolutely bland video where you simply just major on the weight of four wheel drive and interior quality. Little information provided about how the car drives. Terrible!

@ChristopherGower 3 года назад

Hi Andrew, thanks for watching!

@piratefade7222 3 года назад

it actually is not that heavy to be a 2000's AWD car. at 1375Kg stock mind you, it is not that heavy.

@ChristopherGower 3 года назад

Perhaps in hindsight it's not all that heavy. It's probably due to the AWD and the driving dynamic that this creates which is not something I am overly familiar with. I actually prefer RWD or even FWD for 'fun' - but AWD has it's perks too. Still an amazing car either way.
