    88 S3 (UPGRADE not Restoration)

    So....memo to self, do not cable tie the cables to the solenoid poles together and walk away without labeling them first intending to rely on the circuit diagram when fitting the new one (it doesn't end well) luckily I intended to rip out the loom and make a new one myself anyway, looks like I...

    88 S3 (UPGRADE not Restoration)

    So today I took the seat base and floor panels out to clean off and repaint whilst I wait for some other parts to come. Took off the ignition coil and replaced, changed the leads and tried wiring the solenoid ...that last bit didn't go well as I struggled to get it off and then didn't label the...

    I did run her on a litre bottle of cheap vodka from the cupboard when I was 16 =zero emissions. Unfortunately for now it's still more expensive than unleaded.

    88 S3 (UPGRADE not Restoration)

    So Its been suggested I start a thread here by some very kind members. So here goes... As an initial background I obtained this ex MoD S3 88 when I was 14 as a joint gift for my three brothers and I, she was £800 and a road legal runner. We used her at AWDC events in Hampshire with my dad's...

    I'm gonna get her MoTd don't worry, I am glad she's tax exempt though. I just like to have a dig at HMG for their ridiculous rationale. To be fair though, a series three will never be pedestrian safe and it's unlikely to win any environment friendly awards either lol

    Max alternator S3

    So I've looked at a lot of alternators as an upgrade from the 16ACR. As far as I can tell I can go up to 125A on a disco alternator with the same mounting if I change the pull and it's cheaper than the "race version" (if they can really call any S3 a "racer") I found on one site for £400. That...

    Newbie Kent (88 S3)

    Hey, thanks for both your messages. I already love her, done the whole off roading since 14 on the AWDC events in her as standard, now it's time I showed her a bit of love and made her usable again, she just obtained grandma rights too (not that I'm entirely convinced in the logic of a 40 year...

    Newbie Kent (88 S3)

    Hey all, I'm just here to share knowledge and advice (more take than give I'm afraid) as I start to rebuild my SWB to use after leaving her for a decade in the barn whilst I went of galavanting in MOD Wolf's. She's not being "restored" everything I can upgrade or mod will be (to make her more...
