You see an old S3 at a juntion. You hear the innocuous putter of one of them 'poxy' littte 2.0 mpi engines. Then the owner plants the throttle and pictures say 1000 words as they say!

Has turned into a right fun little beastie; and the balance/handling are LOADS better with the new engine - more grip/squat on acceleration, less dive on braking, and gone is that horrible nose-led understeer it used to have. Steering is nice 'n' light too, LOL!



No rear passengers were lost or permanently harmed in the making of these photos.

Looks tidy mate. Worth all those winter nights with the welder and the spanners then.

Nice one my man!! All that work finally paid off. Any chance of seeing some under-bonnet shots? Must shock a few people when they see it!
