Ok a little while ago I got hold of a smashed up S3 it sat in the workshop looking sorry for it self for a little while, I knew what I was going to do with & I knew what parts I didn't need, so slowly it has been stripped as a
few of you on here know as you've had quite a few parts off it.
Any way the plan is: out with the old



And in with the new


I know the 1.8t mk3 conversion has been done before so in true bd style we will be doing this conversion with a twist
Ok I have the bam 1.8 engine which has the k04 turbo, as standard it should of been running 225bhp I am shore we can we will be doing something about that
The mk3 2.0L 16V is a very good base to do the conversion in to, I will be using the 02a gearbox off the mk3 including all the mounts, sub frames & may be I will use that radiator to.
The little twist will be trying to run this with oe ecu, a/c climate control, the hole dash board - the stereo, steering column with Audi key, S3 recaro leather interior & as much of the audi loom as possible inc fuse box.
What would relay be an achievement is to use the oe key remote to lock, unlock & alarm the car

Now with an empty engine bay in the s3, it was time to remove a lot more yet.
