Ah the (Audi) a3 turbo is basically the same mechanicals under a different shell. Same brakes/engine/gearbox/etc
The later model a3s (2001 onwards) got a few updates the golf didnt get (

- Traction control, drive by wire throttle, Variable valve timing, 'electronicly lockable diff') and they make a little bit more power when tuned because of the VVT.

I have an Audi a3 and my brother has an mk4 GTI, almost every part is interchangeable except for the interior and body

Either way, you've made a good choice lol.

Oh and my email is sovereign_01@hotmail.com

Mk3vr6 - Yeah I had a little look on there yesterday... but There was too many US posts I didnt have time to filter through.

Sov - I plan to check some out on the weekend, however I'm more inclined towards the golf. - I don't think I'd go for another 2 door after having a swift for 3 years, although I do like the sound of saying 'Oh, I drive an Audi' hehe

Plus it would make my father jealous...

91eah - Thanks! Good to see that Im not the only female enthusiast around here - with a Golf anyway. Coilovers, nice. Suspension @ handling is the first thing I want to focus on once i get mine. Let me know how they go.
