Hello, welcome to the Up To Fun blog. A personal blog to document all things automotive going on in my life. I started this to document the build on my new-to-me Audi S3, but I feel the content won't be exclusive to just that.
So here it is, my new to me 2010 Audi S3 8P, a car that has been on my hit-list ever since my older brother owned an A3 8P many years ago. This Sprint Blue example has come with some tasty extras from the factory as well as some things I can't be quite sure about, but more on that later.
For anyone interested, the spec from the factory includes the Sound Pack (Bose sound system), electric folding mirrors, interior light pack, and of course, the optional Sprint Blue Pearl paint. Now I know it's not got the spec list as long as some other cars out there but I really don't mind. I appreciate this car for the driver-oriented car it was the day it rolled out of the factory and continues to be to this day.
The bits I can't be quite sure about is the modifications, the car may or may not be remapped, it certainly feels quicker than the 265bhp factory figure. The exhaust also sounds to be something other than stock, whether that be just a resonator delete or more, I guess we will find out together. On the topic of mods, most things will likely be swapped eventually and follow along what the plan turns out to be.
So tag along to stay up to date, plenty to come and hopefully it will make a change to how you usually stay up to date with a build.
Enjoy the ride,
E.
