It is just based off the transverse cars like the TT, GTI and Jetta. I actually have a customer with a S3 version which lives in Australia, it is his wifes car which needed a clutch, uses the same clutch as the those other cars I listed. Basically just a Audi badged GTI, just like the TT.


APR had one here in the states and you can find a few others here that were brought in from Mexico. You just dont see them much here because they were not sold in the united states. Go to audi forums based in European contries and you will see plenty pics of them posted. lol

Link to a picture thread of the 8L A3/S3 on the forum Audi-sport.net
Knock yourself out, it is 45 pages and 2209 posts long. lol


Have to remember we get a very small % of the cars actually produced sent to the United States.

I dig it. There are also several of the S3 versions also brought from Mexico.

I really wish we had the newer 2 door A3's here in the States.

I know one of the guys that imported one from Mexico and IIRC sold it to someone in CO.


It would be cool if we could get the newer 2 door A3/S3, even better if we could get the new scirocco. I have a good customer in Greece that owns one which is running a BSH tube manifold and HTA30r which were both bought thru me. That car just screams.

Mike - That's awesome. I know several guys with the old S3's on Vortex. I haven't seen the newer one just yet. I think it's awesome how you have customers around the world!

And the new Sciroccos are legit. I wish the US would get some of the VAG cars available in Europe.
