Horsepower isn't the important factor - it's torque. High torque will kill your clutch - anything over 310lb/ft and you are going to be pushing a standard clutch. Plus 5000rpm clutch dumps aren't going to do much good either - no matter what clutch you have fitted. He said Bhp not me. It's just most...

RE: what brake or big brake options are there for the s3?

As far as i'm aware the brake thing goes like this on a budget black diamond groved discs with ferrodo ds2500 (i used to have). Brembo gt kit (i currently have) not so much on a budget.

Your best bet mark is to goto confused.com or comparethemarket.com put all your details in and the site will find you loads of qoutes then you pick which one you want. My insurance was £420 F/C with 2 years NCD with swiftcover.com.
Good luck.
