- In this video I take a look at the MK1 Audi S3 whilst trying to put my own spin on things, by attempting to ask the question 'has the MK1 Audi S3 had its day?'.
First released in 1999, the MK1 S3 was the flagship hot-hatch for audi - fast forward more than 20 years and how does it stack up today? You'll have to watch the above to find out!
As always, massive thank you to OEM Plus UK for the car. Links to all of our socials below.

Keep in mind that these cars came with a micro turbo. Once you bolt on a hybrid turbo or tweek it for big turbo.. then this chassis becomes a monster and will keep up or surpass these newer hot hatches 👌
Taswell Barthus I don’t doubt. It’s the perfect base to be modified. It’s a very capable car/chassis to build upon, especially with the Quattro!
f*****g luuuuuv mine, its a beeeeast...... come from GT4 celicas and didnt think id like the lil thing this much, the toyotas are well parked up hahaahaha ;)
Ive got one. Bought another to do a project on. The other will be left standard. Cant wait to start tweaking the engine
Yes but then you need to do the rods too
@@HUGO-xo2mv you can get away with stock rods if the tuner knows what he's doing lol
I had one in South Africa in 2003, mine was in a dark metallic emerald green color, after a few minor mods it was an absolute weapon, nothing could keep up on a twisty piece of tarmac...sadly the car hi-jacking syndicates in South Africa had shopping lists as long as a mans arm for the S3 and mine was taken away from me at gun point...
That's a pretty sad story my guy. Wish you the best
Jeez
Used to own a Nogaro blue 2002 S3 with a nice spec, never really let me down. Great cars when they work!
Great video, the production quality is amazing considering how young the channel is. Hope to see you grow!
Thanks Ben. Appreciate the positive feedback
It is a brilliant car, owned 2 1.8t engines, finally decided to go for a full on ppwer build, it is a very capable car
i own one , its an amazing car, starting working on my car now to make it awesome
Good video. Had mine 8yrs and its just gone over 210k. Still going strong 👌
What year your car is?
Great video, very credible, you deserve more subs, keep uploading this level of content and you will!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Felt like I was watching a TV show! Had to sub
Thank you!
Well made video, great cars these. Keep them standard and the value will increase in a few years.
Thank you!.
Agreed. Clean, OEM examples will steadily creep up in price over the next few years I am sure.
nice car
The lift off tail out on this car is unreal you just toss the thing in let off the gas a bit and feel the tail come out with remarkable control of the throttle
Great content love the old S3 new subscriber no 373 lol probably be 37k in 6 months lol🤣👍
Just stepped out of mine 👌
My favourite car imolla yellow s3 ❤
Just bought one defo gettin it remmapped
Nice one. That’s all it needs to transform it!
@@ChristopherGower sure is bud but I'd be scared to touch yours tho how immaculate it is be worth some serious dollar in a few years gettin hard to find in that colour an condition now unfortunately I had to resolt to a silver one as the rest I've been to see are sheds
Best car ever. Owned one for 20 years. AMK engine tho
Hello! I’m looking for an s3 any tips before buying one?
you have often rust on the roof and doors
the engine is great but has often problem that he losses horsepower
you need to fix the turbo system etc
I have A3 1.8T with 525.000km.
The trick is to find a good example that wasnt tuned. Be it the 209 or 225 hp version.
21 years old s3 quattro classic 1.8t 2002 can't be put against the new generation of today's vehicles, you will have to get 2018 and above for the comparison bhp, but if forge engine with supporting mods and G25-550 now it will move and this is why people use the audi tt for it's aerodynamics through the air
I had one in 2003 ! RJ52XSR. Part-xd it for a B5 RS4 in 2006 which I still own today.
carl lynch amazing. We are actually in the process of trying to acquire a B5 RS4. Brilliant cars, although I am yet to have the pleasure of driving one!
Christopher Gower not a real drivers car and handles not too good But the engine is a masterpiece Cosworth developed
Mine is running 490bhp and 517lbft torque with Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, H&R arbs, Wagner Intercoolers, B7 RS4 brakes, braided lines, upgraded fuel pump, ITG panel filter, Milltek full dual 3”inch exhaust and MRC remap
Had 50k miles on the clock when I bought it from Tonbridge Audi in 2006 now has 209k
What a spec! sounds like a really nice build. It's interesting that you picked this up at Tonbridge, I actually live not far from there. If you're still in the area it would be interesting to meet some time - even film a video on your car!? If not i'm sure i'll spot it out on the open road at some point.
I would have loved for you to drive my mk1 leon cupra r
Same here!
@@ChristopherGower completely different car at stage 2 300bhp
Wich is the complete rims size at minute 10:06 ?
Learn to spell
7x17” 225/45/17”
it actually is not that heavy to be a 2000's AWD car. at 1375Kg stock mind you, it is not that heavy.
Perhaps in hindsight it's not all that heavy. It's probably due to the AWD and the driving dynamic that this creates which is not something I am overly familiar with. I actually prefer RWD or even FWD for 'fun' - but AWD has it's perks too. Still an amazing car either way.
Wheezy rough 1.8T always a handicap to driving enjoyment
Absolutely bland video where you simply just major on the weight of four wheel drive and interior quality. Little information provided about how the car drives. Terrible!
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching!
