Well most of you will know this car pretty well!
Decided a few weeks ago that I would move my 535d on and go back to a hot hatch.
After looking for 197's, clio 200s, type Rs I contacted @Woodcutter too see if he still had his S3 for sale! Turned out he did and was a gent to deal with!
Headed to up to collect the motor and came home happy! Car drives fantastically and handles really well... Complete change too the semi auto 5 series mind!
Finally got a chance too give it an anachem treating this morning and throw my plate onto it.....
Car cleans up really well for being 20 years old!
Plans are too keep it as close to standard as possible but a few bits:
- Firstly the bodywork needs a bit of a tidy up, few age related surface rust in the usual places so it's booked in for the 13th Sept!
-Potentially a subtle drop (eibach), spacers and freshen up suspension, along with decent discs and pads but I'm very torn about keeping it standard!
I'll try keep this as updated as possible over the next few months!
