There's no way it's only getting a 6 second 0-60
Having stripped mine it blew me away how much the carpets weighed 😂
Hello IV been going though 100s of videos looking for a explanation for a clip 1.2 tce 2008 IV just had both strut mounts done with new springs and 2 front shocks all brand-new. And now when I turn the steering wheel left of right I get a creaking noise all the time. Is there anybody who could tell me what this is please. Just payed a right fortune to have all this work done. And now this is doing my head in. Someone said it could be the steering shaft. But I'm no mechanic and have no knowledge of cars any help would be muchly appreciated Thank you
Very good information, chilled out video. Agree decent brand tyres are a must. Spending thousands on tuning and putting cheap tyres. Your only point of contact between the car and the road.. pointless
Been thinking about getting one of these for my next car, currently got an 18 plate fiesta, just don’t know if I’ll regret going back to an older car
I did driving lessons in a fiesta titanium of this shape, drives and handles beautifully
10 grand? Where i live they going for 17+ (facelift) with close to 90k miles on the clock.
Good vid cheers
Where you get them headlights for the 8J? Didn’t throw a code?
Wheels ❤❤❤❤❤
Hello, Im looking at a S3 2008 with around 170k. Would you consider buying this or is it a big risk of having a toast engine?
Depends on the car. Get it to a reputable garage for a full health check and also check its history
Thank you for the comprehensive guide mate, seriously considering it for mine now... Where on earth did you get a full Cobra exhaust for £895 though? Direct from Cobra it's over £1100 for a decat!
This was back in 2020, but Cobra dealers get better rates
Hi mate, what needs to be done to go just to stage 2?
Sports cat not decat
That’s the only mod?
380bhp seems very low with a downpipe, intercooler and intake he should be looking at just over 400
I know this video is old but hoping someone knows what kind of wheels he said those were
The next upgrade tte420 turbo 😊😊
Have you considered hydro dipping the engine cover with a carbon effect mate
Can you get a pan roof on these
In a 5 door sport back yea
@@CarsWithSmithy ah ok cant it be custom fitted to a 3 door
@danryan9533 don’t think so. Wouldn’t fancy chopping a hole in it either
@@CarsWithSmithy no thats fair enough mate, stunning beast bro
6s for stage 3! I'd cry if didn't get under 6s 😂
If you need to drop it to 5’s you gotta build boost and slicks & traction control tune.
365 tax
Gone up since I filmed this 👍🏻
Some wanker put mine on too tight before I bought it. Screws won’t come off cuz they over tightened them. Plan b is to take the entire thing off by popping off the horn. Wish me luck
What’s the difference between the mk5 GTI engine and this in the s3 is it just tuned different ?
I like the 8p, but you might aswell save a bit more and buy an 8v or golf r, which are faster anyway and responds better to tuning..
How’s the 8p going? Do you still have it? Be cool to know even in an update video :) thanks for the vids my guy!
A3 with 2 doors, such a great car...Independent of the engine, this car has a very robust structure and an excellent chassis which gives it exceptional road qualities and handling...A stunning car destined to become a classic highly sought after...!
Well, i'd say the quattro improves the handling even further. But haven't tried it yet.
Will the engine from the Focus MK1 2.0 zetec fit in the Fiesta mk6 2005?
Yes it does I’ve seen a few done 👍
Did the elbow grease get the slime off ok?
You guys got a full part list for this buidl? 😅
Mint mate mine going there soon and also my car is your cars twin literally same colour the lot 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why don’t you ask them your self
Local lad? Thats Earlswood lakes I spy. On the hunt for a TTS so thanks for the video review.
Sorry but to much especially the bonnet it just looks horrendous IMO. I have the mrk 7 R and i love it as it is, the only thing i done was a milltek exhaust, ( valved ) cat back ( non resonated) and its just perfect. But if your happy then its your car old boy

nice to see the car i want driving around roads i thought they might struggle with, i know the lanes around the back of earlswood can be quite hard on lower cars so gives me some confidence that itll be fine

That's why I'm glad I got a manual s3 8p
youtube.com/@letsavittvbirminghamuk9688?si=nxGLaWZK3bMtegKT
What exhaust is that???
Milltek catback with and I’m guessing a Milltek Decat
They sound like a tractor straight piped.
Bloody hell, put me off getting one now!
a enjoyable great s3 8p video.
It's called torque steer boys...😊
You see you said it changed gear for you why would you want that on a track dsg for the street manual for the track
Use you gears to slow down can see you break early and leave your feet planted on the breaks these s3 can power round corners they correct them self's feather the brakes lower gear then gas it's a chemistry you have to figure out although I'm in a manual 8p
I have a manual s3 8p check my channel but I think dsg crap for cornering speed but good for drag racing manual is better for cornering I've sussed it there's a sweetness that comes with a manual that can't be touched with dsg
Do you still have the S3? Any ideas of selling it?
Still have it, although it’s for sale
@@CarsWithSmithy online? Autotrader?
No, check my instagram 👍🏻
I cant find an 08 tts for sale anywhere
This one is for sale
How they hold up after few years?
It’s been sold now
