New member - 8P2 S3, a few mods

Hello everyone,

Haven't been on here before (hence the new member status), but currently a black 8P2 S3 owner, previously had a Ming Blue 8L S3, and now considering a Daytona B7 RS4 saloon. Thought I'd introduce myself and "Ollie". She's got a black grille, genuine 19"x8.5J ET48 'Speedlines' (BBS RS861s) with black centres and polishes lips wrapped in 225/35R19 Falken 452s, 5mm spacers up front to clear R8-Brembo/APR 362mm custom brakes, EvoMS cold-air intake, full TBE Milltek (non-res, special tips), H&R 25mm springs and ARBs... MY11 rear clusters, LED DRL and sidelights... plus all the standard S3 fare. Also, I'm terrible at keeping the car clean so I do apologise.

Now, I'm going to spend a couple of hours scrolling through the forum to see what's going on, what everyone's driving and what exhaust to look for on my next Audi.

Welcome along mate. How does the 8l compare to the 8p?

My 8L was a nightmare. Great looking car, but constantly having mechanical issues with it (it had done 115k). 8P is better in every way except that it's much less distinctive when surrounded by S-Line BEs.

Ah, my old 8l only had around 47k on it I think and only had maf fault during ownership. Oh and the usual head unit volume control fault.

My 8P S3 is now for sale (will be returned to stock if I don't get any interest in "as is"). PM me for details.
