  • Im backkkk, Yellow S3!

    Been a member since 2008, however haven't had a Euro car in many years. Was in the market for a new vehicle as my lease was coming to an end, and was looking at importing a MK1 Audi S3. While i was searching for one i was contacted by a fellow member who let me know about his friend who might be selling his S3 in Kelowna. Flew out, bought it and the rest is history.

    The Car:
    2000 Audi S3
    AMK 1.8T w/factory K04 (Audi TT motor)
    Imola Yellow
    Alcantara/ leather two tone interior



    The car failed the first Out of Province, so i have been fixing everything i can to have it ready for my second attempt. Fingers crossed ill have it registered this week!

    Short Term Plans:
    Coilovers (Done)
    Spacers (Done)
    Winter wheel setup (Done)
    R8 coils (Done)
    Downpipe (Done)
    007 DV (Done)
    Matching 5k HID headlights & Fogs (Done)
    Stage 2 tune
    Exhaust
    Silicone Turbo Inlet pipe & Intercooler piping
    Evap Delete

    Im excited to be back in a Audi again, and look forward to being involved with the old car group!

    Looks awesome, great find! FYI some places will fail you OOP if the stock suspension isn't on.

      Such an awesome car - thanks for posting up!

      When I imported my GLI I went to Canadian Tire... normally, I wouldn’t even recommend their automotive services to my worst enemy but that’s exactly why I went there for the inspection. Past with flying colours

        Yea i was a little hesitant about that, guess ill find out. Going to a shop that OPI's lots of JDM cars this time, hopefully they are more reasonable. With all the slammed, strait piped nissans that get cleared my S3 should be a easy pass you would think :( hate the OPi process.

            Car looks great, glad to see these getting some love!! I spotted a Nogaro one a couple weeks ago on some BBS RGR it was glorious!

            Good luck with the OPI and keep the mods coming!

                Hope it passes the second time around. Always hoped that someone would eventually pick one of these up. Congrats!

                  So jealous.
                  I've been trawling the JDM auctions for months, but me currently working in the US means it is all just a dream for now.

                  The OPI process for my Imola S4 was painful, so I know your struggle.
                  Where did you go first time? (you don't need to say if you don't want to)

                    First OPI was done at Kaltire (Not Chad's), and to be fair there was a couple things i didn't realize it needed. Neutral Safety Switch being the weirdest thing.

                      Weird, I'd think that it would be possible to have the neutral switch simply through software no?
