The best channel about this kind of car!!really..do more filming about acceleration and sound and drive by the camera..know what i mean..wish you the all the best from Serbia!💪👍👍👍
I’ve seen a lot of people comment how 360bhp isn’t much. It’s more than enough on UK roads when you can put it all down, and it looks like this car does. It’s not peak numbers you should look at but the area under the curve, and how the car delivers the power.
Been driving 6 years, and my step dad let me drive his 245bph mk7 golf gti just so i could experience power, and that was absolutely plenty and certainly enough to loose my license if i wasn’t careful
I'm actually kinda glad that the 8P generation cars are all being overlooked, it keeps them still fresh looking as opposed to seeing one on the road every 5 minutes like the mk7/7.5 golf R so you don't get bored of seeing one.
When you think about the performance of these cars, and the year they came out.. the Golf Rs and S3s of the current time arent that far ahead.. Stage 2 one of these and youll be pushing good power for daily driving. Love S3 8Ps especially with a DSG! Well done to the owner for keeping it so well maintained and good video mate!
I have a s3 8p with the stage 2 map from r tech with the dsg box and it is mega on the launch I think mines at about 360 hp and its more than enough, quality car when u put it in s mode it launches what a car my pride and joy never letting go of it
Keep coming back to these my RS3 8p is just a track beater not a natural track car but has lowered suspension no coilover, Revo stage 3 499hp 460 lbft removed rear seats updated rear anti roll bar all supporting mods box remap etc few dents and scratches doesn't bother me I've been not far off the pace of a couple of 911 GT3 RS cars at donnington / croft ,owned it six years. My nice car is a 2014 R8 V10 plus Matte blue
Hi Luke, I think you should have a look at the race between the MK8 Golf R and a A45S that’s been uploaded to RUclips recently. I also think you should arrange a test drive in a MK8 R and do a video on it as it will be beneficial for 7.5r owners knowing the differences. Keep up the great content !
my 2010 S3 8P has spot welded exhaust tips , unless you have a grinder to cut them off , you cannot just change the tips , or buy a milltek back box which cost about £ 600
Seems a decent guy and down to earth and sensible. I know there's a 0-60 culture and big bhp and compare this car to that but I never hear people talk about how fun the car is. And most of the time these cars aren't as fun as you think. Fast to 60 but linear and dull to drive. I bet he finds the Clio more fun.
I am on my 3rd 8p s3 the thing that makes these cars fun is showing other people that don’t believe they can be fun then looking at there face afterwards lol
After my last hot hatch to the s3 8p I find it very dull but I also have DSG and i'm more of a manual guy. To be fair the s3 wasn't really designed to be a fully fledged hot hatch but I think with roll bars, coilovers, stage 2+, and perhaps anti lift kit and engine mounts a lot of it's softness and dullness can be sorted out. Fun in a straight line though !
PS my biggest gripe with the car is the steering is extremely light at all times and takes a lot of lock to turn in properly. I think with sharp steering this car could be miles more fun (think you'de have to buy a mk6 golf r for that).
I got the same car on 79k miles it’s going r tech after she’s had had full major service for the stage 2 tune mate would love to do a video with mine and yours mine white to black edition dsg looks the same just u got the rs3 from end and roof splitter with full wing rs4 wings backs interior would be a great colab these cars are rare now and are the best models made love it bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I need some help!! I don't know whether to get a s3 8p dsg or pay a bit more and go for a golf r dsg! I know the golf response better to tuning than s3 8p's, but on the other hand they are a lot more money, just dont know if its worth the extra. Both great fun to drive though
Im a lazy fuck and i bet there are some experts here so im gonna use that opportunity.I got an s3 8p manual and i want to do a stage 2 or stage 2+.Give me a list of what parts do i have to buy
I've got an s3 8p black edition dsg, much better cars than the newer stuff better built and more reliable, mines only had a map so is circa 300-310bhp but it'll do 170 on a private run way obviously so easily more than fast enough for a daily the money they are now you can't beat them
Thanks for having me on the channel! The video turned out great 🙌🏻
Pleasure mate!
Any 100 to 200 kph dragy times

Nice car, got a rs3 8p running 434bhp apr stage 2 and its a beast. These 8p are good cars.
One of the best looking S3 of the generation 👍
Thanks man 👍🏻

My favourite s3 generation, my dad has a sportback one which runs 360 brake and it flys, beautiful cars

Thanks mate 👍🏻
@@CarsWithSmithy no probs mate , im waiting on you to join me in the rs3 8p owners gang...lol

Beautiful car got the s38p sport back my self DSG love it
Intercooler doesn't give you more power just stops you from loosing power due to heat soak.. wicked car tho love it definitely on my next car list 👌
Very clean car! Fairplay love it 👍🏼
Really hate we didn't get the 3 door A3 in the U.S.
Great video, great build and always nice to see two great channels together!

Prefer that look (8p) over the new one👀 nice video 👍
Thanks!
I agree 😎
@@CarsWithSmithy I might be a bit bias tho 😉
I agree 😄
This is great! Smithy such a good guy. Good content as always Luke
Thanks man 🙌🏻

Absolute weapon
I got my car done at r tech too. They are the best at tuning.
Sound owner and great motor. R-Tech are the absolute business 👌🏻
Where did you get the rear bumper lower vallance for the centre exit Exhaust from?
Beast
Good guy Chris is 👍🏻
Great video as always Luke!
Super clean car

Both cars are fun in their own right 👍🏻 I can assure you the S3 is loads of fun though
@@CarsWithSmithy I owned a dsg golf and it bored me to tears.. still your Audi is a really nice car. Look forward to seeing your Clio.

CRAZY
Awesome car 😁
Love the content, keep it up
Thanks a lot Lewis!
Its perfect
We need to get another modified abarth 500/595 on the channel!
I do! Been ages since I've filmed one
Wow
Subbed 👍🏻 chilled dude great quality video too only came for the S3 but looking at your other videos you’re a bit like Hamza with the hot hatch vids!
I got the same car on 79k miles it’s going r tech after she’s had had full major service for the stage 2 tune mate would love to do a video with mine and yours mine white to black edition dsg looks the same just u got the rs3 from end and roof splitter with full wing rs4 wings backs interior would be a great colab these cars are rare now and are the best models made love it bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I mean mines got the full rs3 front end
Rtech by any chance?
What clutch you got in this one?
stock 👍
Lovey car
Just got one it's stock can't edit till it looks like the one in the video
Lovely car
Somehow the title with 362 Bhp and crazy don’t seem to go together these days, even though it will be quick!
Great video man see you next time
Looks clean🔥
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love this content, have the same car and setup in South Africa
sup guys
is a puff of white smoke from the exhaust on slight acceleration from 1st and 2nd gear an issue or is it just normal ?
Yeah 👍🏻
I need some help!! I don't know whether to get a s3 8p dsg or pay a bit more and go for a golf r dsg! I know the golf response better to tuning than s3 8p's, but on the other hand they are a lot more money, just dont know if its worth the extra. Both great fun to drive though
Crazy fast 🤓😇
Sure was!
🚀🚀
Anyone know what the screech noise is around 9:16? My s3 makes the same noise and wondering if something is wrong?
Turbo flutter 👍🏻 nothing to worry about
Possible to get a 3.2 a3 on the channel??
curious how does the cover fit on with a heat shield at the back there? Do you just use the mounts instead of the bolts provided
Torque?
399ft lb’s
What wheels are these and size?
18” team dynamic pro race 1.2’s
Is it the trend to not have a front reg?
Lots do it.. it's not legal but again not endorsable therefore no points. At most it's a small fine and it seems not many are fined for it.
Did he say it’s the turbo back non res cobra exhaust? Decat? Sounds fantastic
Full cobra decat non res 👍🏻
oh look, a VW!
My s3 8p is stage 3, 435BHP, 650NM torque
Rim?
How has he got the steering wheel like that does the buttons work??? I need it in my a3 8p 2.0tdi
Which buttons?
Lemme know when you wanna do a fast S3! 👍🏼 455bhp... Sub 3.4 0-60
Drop me a DM on Instagram! @hampshirephotography
Mate I got one let’s do a video on it can send u the pictures
Luke just get a mk7/7.5 R manual and get it down to R-Tech
Im a lazy fuck and i bet there are some experts here so im gonna use that opportunity.I got an s3 8p manual and i want to do a stage 2 or stage 2+.Give me a list of what parts do i have to buy
