what a great looking car with awesome performance:)

what was involved in turning this into 4wd and what system of 4wd have you used? are bits fitted all new or did you have a used 4wd donor car or pick up used bits from various broken cars?

do you have any experience of circuit driving before conversion to compare the 4wd handling against fwd , thinking round twisty bits rather than straight line stuff??

so now i can drive safe this winter also :)

This weekend im going to a carshow in copenhagen denmark.

After that plan is to take engine out and open it up.

selling parts and trying to save some money so i can order new parts.

Mahle Overdimension Pistons
1,8T Oil pumpkit from INA Engineering

Not sure yet about this need to find out some more what the gains will be as its still my daily.

Catcams Stage 3 Cams.

Then head will be Ported and also we will matchport the Intake + exhaust Manifold.

First we thought about using the Tdi crank to stroke the engine also but i was told it didnt give so much so think i will skip that for now atleast. :)

Also thinking of the HTA3076r billet turbo. But little afraid about the turbo lag as i use it for as a daily driver and dont want to much lag in it.


When engine is out going to repaint the engine bay again for better finish.
also car will be Repainted. Just cant decide if we should change color or keep it in the green?..

I like the grean and think it suits the car. but always fun to do something new..

and interior will be modified in leather alcantara if plans go as i want them to. :)

I would like to put 4 Recaro sportster cs seats in there but they are so damn expensive. :(

tried to find some second hand color and so isnt the most important as we will anyway do them to fit the rest.


but thats some of my plans this winter. hope everything goes as planned. :)

Any pics of the huge smile on your face after you destroyed the Lambo? ;)

:dance:

Michel, pictures in this thread are also working for me!

Ok strange doesnt work on my phone or computer?? some work some dont..
i hope its just something for me then :)

Awesome vid! What speed did you reach?
Something betven 280-290km/h

what a great looking car with awesome performance:)

what was involved in turning this into 4wd and what system of 4wd have you used? are bits fitted all new or did you have a used 4wd donor car or pick up used bits from various broken cars?

do you have any experience of circuit driving before conversion to compare the 4wd handling against fwd , thinking round twisty bits rather than straight line stuff??

thanks. Soon it will perform better and also safer i hope ;)

well dont know if pics are still in the thread if you cant se them you can check my facebook links to the albums on the awd and engine project.

i bought the running gear from an audi S3 8p so got the most from that car. some parts i had to buy from other places


i think the AWD is awesome both for the daily driving and also on track. Ok it ads up some weight but still you can keep much higher speed in to corners and get the speed with you in another way than before. But also depends on what handling parts you have and settings i think.

and on winters you can play.

without risking to destroy the running gear. :p

This is amazing project of the human and technologies. :clap:

Question I would like to ask is: Do Audi S3 2008 (265 PS) is good donor for conversion to AWD of my 2007 Seat Leon Cupra 2.0 Tfsi (240 PS)??
What problems I would come across?

My Seat have Forge Twintake, Forge DV. No other upgrades.
