Hey Guys It's Joel!
Welcome to the first episode in a new series, Cheap Thrills. Today, I'm joined once more by my friend Josh. Instead of his Porsche Boxster that you will have seen in Episode #4 of Soft Top Showdown, he's brought down his Audi S3 8P to feature in the first of this series!
It's actually a pretty rare car, that can be picked up for a pretty reasonable price!
Hope you enjoy this video!

This new series is brilliant. The S3 is the perfect entry. For next maybe an bmw 330 Coupe, Golf 6 GTI, Ford Focus RS, Toyota GT 86, Subaru WRX models and for sure something from Alfa Romeo
skaverXL I’m glad you enjoyed it, and they’re all fantastic suggestions!
So after S3 you would like mk6 gti which is fwd? What’s wrong with you? I get you if you would like the focus rs for the 5cilinder engine but still...fwd. Only the BMW or the Subaru would deserve upgrading to. The bmw for the thrill of playing with the rwd and the Subaru WRX Sti for that 5cil 4x4. Still...I wouldgo for the rs3 if I would have the money. Definetly sportback.
Great vid. This is my kind of world! Look forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you sir, and congrats on over 20K!
Thank you all so much for tuning into my brand new Cheap Thrills series. Please comment below, any cars you’d like to see feature in future episodes!
"...on the Autobahn" - haha... fantastic!!!!
Had my Sportback S3 8P for over 3 years as a daily .. I can not fault it.. stage 1 and 3”downpipe has it at 327hp more than enough to throw about !!!
automatic or manual?
Am going to look at an 08 plate 84,000 5 owners. They gunner put a new cambelt water pump tensioner, for me if I have it anything else I should be weary of cheers???? Never had a s3
S3 8P? You mean S line?

Absolutely love what he’s done with the wheel
Gotta love the S3 8P 😃...so much fun and a dark horse ...
Good point about the wingback seats. Only thing that would put me off about them is if a would be wrongun who knows their Audi's looks through the windows and sees them, they know how much they're worth to sell as parts. There was a string of RS4s that got broken into specifically for their wingback seats in London a few years ago!
Been looking to buy one of these lower the last few weeks, then get this video top of my feed lol
Keep smashing it 💯
Thanks dude!
Enjoyed this and a great idea for a series, no doubt it will make me look at auto trader straight after each video 🤔 thing to consider with a cheap thrills powerful car would be the running costs and maintenance once you buy one!
best taillight I've ever seen specially in the night !!!
Great video Joel, keep them coming. I've got a 270bhp 2006 Audi A4 if you wanted to do a vid?
I can sense an M6 coming to this series - even though they’re over £10,000
Bought my 11 plate s3 for £9000 with 100k on it, runs amazingly
Very good idea for a series!
Thanks. I’m really hoping to get some properly interesting cars on this series
The S3 is really stealthy too, if you debadge it, it'll look just like a normal A3 from the rear.
Nice vid boys
Audi s3 all the way 👌
If you ever come to Holland, Joel, let us know beforehand. You're welcome to review and drive my E92 325i coupe! Cheers
Thanks for the generous offer. Would definitely love to take you up on that one day!
Just bought 07 S3 what a tool , defo a fun car . Ive owned impreza, ep3,A5 QUATTRO, audi tt QUATTRO yea the S3 is way up above them defo go and buy one S3 you won't be disappointed
You can pick one up for 5k with high mileage. 7k for one with around 70-80k
Not a facelift one you wont😂 mine was 12grand 60k and was cheapest one on auto trader
The only thing exciting about the Audi is the thing you can’t see, THE ENGINE!
I am going to look at an 08 plate at weekend. With 84000 5 owners said they would put cambelt water pump an haldex service on before I buy it’s already ad one change at 60.000 I have never ad a s3 anything else I should be weary of ? Is it worth buying an using az a daily? Cheers any advice would be nice 👍🏻
For sure you should do a skyline 370gt
Where did you get the wheel hub caps from? I ordered some after market and ones that were 135mm as they all seem to be that but wouldn’t slot into the gap. I’ve the same alloys as yours and I’m assuming they’re 225/40ZR18’s. Did you buy new ones or keep old on. Any help would be much appreciated thank you 🙏
Where did he get the steering wheel done? i'm wanting to have roughly the same on my Audi s3
Hey Tonisha - thanks for watching, I’m not sure, but let me ask him for you!
It's Joel cheers bud!
Lol you’re the one that had a cat back on it?
For this or the showdown series - you should check a SLK 350 (r171). When i was in the market for a roadster it was merc vs Z4 3.0.
Absolutely. Definitely trying to get one of these on the series
Hi mate , do you reckon i could get insured on one of these at 18 with a years no claims? Dont mind paying upto 2 grand insurance
I think you should be ok, best thing to do is some insurance quotes though, as factors that effect cost vary for everyone!
It's Joel thankyou mate appreciate it
No need to change the chain @ that low mileage. The belt that drives the water pump yes. The chain, no! Unless it's obvious (noisy or long mileage)....
Res delete? Is must 👌
He's got the window open, climate not working?
Budapest? Kiraly s3as😀
Cam chain. Did you mean cam/timing belt?
This engine is both chain and belt driven.
7k? Be lucky
It's 265PS not bhp
Peugeot 208 GTI
Cheap performance cars:
Peugeot 208 GTI
Fiesta ST
Audi S3
Audi S5 V8
WRX
Golf GTI
Aren't these belt driven instead of chain 🙄
Correct FSI is chain I believe
Mitch F belt driven from crank to cam and the chain across the 2 cams
based on the fact the owner doesn't know what the map is ... if i was the owner i'd get the car Dyno'd immediately and if it is tuned i would have it remapped by someone trusted. a dodgy map could bend a rod. i would never trust a car 'that might be mapped' ...
Think he has now had dyno’d. Running something like 320bhp
@@itsjoel my point was - if i didnt know who tuned it i would get a new remap on it. a dodgy map can bend a rod. i've had this happen to me. R-Tech map would be the safest choice
@@mj23bt32 Had it dyno'd at 340bhp, did some research into who mapped it. It's a stage 2, R-tech map and have been safely running this for 2 years now, so don't worry hahaha!
Audi S3 underrated? lol
It’s a replica S3😂😂😂😂 check the plate on internet
£9000= cheap apparently
2 years and you still stuck on 7k lololol
