Unfortunately No footage of the 0-60 on this one, we did attempt it but due to semi slicks and weather conditions the best time we could get was a 5.70.. and he did not make it on to the leader board.. I left the footage out as the videos longer than usual anyway ✌🏽
That guy right there and his car had inspired many 1.8T owners via the Audi Forums The only 1.8T that has seen soo many changes in it’s history of it’s own engine and turbo setups. From a fly to a rocket! This man is a Guru in A3/S3 8L forums.
I got a A4 1.8t with big turbos I’ve had 6 setups on it and 3 engines replaced and also a gearbox 😂 she’s a animal, just not about this social media life I just like watching car videos, ps mine is 480bhp
This guy helped me swap out my brakes and install a catch can in my 1.8t about 8 years ago and I had the privilege of going out in this very car back then. Such a nice guy and it's incredible to see him again on here! Great job mate, the car has come a long way!
1: Jamie in his race gear actually cracked me up 😂 2: Fair play to the owner built it, and can drive it 👍 3: Respect for the Nankang tyres highly underated affordable tyre 👍 4: Much more excited to watch og when they come out than LLF or any others 👍
Retrospect skate yh he handled it well but if you was in a car with a stranger and he was fly down Country roads at them speeds then says he’s had a massive crash at 150 I’d be a bit worried am not a good back seat drive 🤣
What a gent nick is followed this build on 20v group very knowledgeable guy tha a3 is a rocket ship nothing left unturned an the fact he done it in a fwd a3 over the s3 4wd makes a grin even more 👌
It's certainly changed from the car I saw at Combe a few years ago! As soon as I saw that thumbnail I knew it had to be Prawn's. Still got photos from it on track somewhere, a legend of Audi Sport. Great video and awesome seeing it in its latest guise.
I was halfway through watching llf video and I got a UA-cam video notification for this I clicked and changed vids lol I am loving your channel atm not saying i dont like llf i just find your videos more suited to my a.d.h.d levels lol #GAS #GANG
LLF is for the mature audience, this guy is more aimed towards kids with his screams over the top forced personality and lack of actual proper conversations.
Really refreshing to here someone talk so in depth about their engine build and actually understand what it all means instead of reading off a spec sheet. Awesome video 👌
I love a high powered relatively small displacement turbo 4 cilinder engine screaming, and that gearbox sounds like straight cut gears. damn what a car !.
Holy hell I feel like those shots of the engine bay is like looking at my mk4 wagon. Really wish the A3 was a thing in the states with the 1.8. I know it would've sold like hot cakes here.
What a beast of a car! Famous of FB/YT and this car brought me a bit inspiration over the years! Probs to the owner for creating such a monster! And Jamie, keep up the good work man! You’re vids are on another level!

OFFICIALLY GASSED - OG honestly my favourite channel bro, I mean it. I’m looking into swapping a b204 saab engine into a corsa C, the dream is to get it on your channel💪🏼
Subscribed for life, love all the videos no matter what level the cars on - every car brings something to the table. But episodes like this with everything from the car, the owner himself and Classic Jamies reactions, phenomenal job 🙏
Much love to you and your channel Jamie. You're a true car enthusiast and watching your reactions to peoples rides is as close as we can get to actually experiencing it for ourselves. Keep it up bro.
Bro you have had loads of car on here claming high BHP ....thing you can tell that's kicking 522 BHP 100% .....and that the first time in my opinion iv see you truly intimidated by a car ....so good ..good job...... UK England
To be honest its the its the first time i give and German rival to My French cars a thumbs up. Good job well done. I had 504 gt 180 hp rwd. 205 gti 142 hp. 106 gti 155 HP. 306 gti turbo 376 hp 405 t16 635 hp. That Audi is a beutiful build.
Remember seeing this car many years ago (11+ years) at a Dyno day at JKM when it was stock locking on S4 alloys running a KO4 hybrid (I think). Mad how much it’s changed and nice to see it’s still going
I was cheesin the whole time watching this 😂 your reactions are so geniune! You can tell you are having the time of your life. And the people you meet are great. Such great content man keep it up!!!
Pretty sure I saw this on the road this morning, videos do it no justice. Looks incredible in real life! And that sound! I’d like to say I followed him but with that power there was no following involved haha.
The way this man speaks is how I think of a British Gentleman, so well spoken and knows his stuff, reminds me of Rowan Atkinson, even drives as fast as him, maybe even faster
I have an Ibiza Cupra and with 189hp the front tires spins out of grip through the first 3 gears in winter ..I can't imagine something with +500hp !!! This is nuts !!
So Badger 5 are the underdogs of Audi... I've just watched the recent posted video of 2024 and the MK1 TT was built by the same guys and it killed the TTRS MK3... MADE ❤
Amazing video once again, cracked me up when I saw Jamie wearing that helmet. The owner is so chill and nice and for the A3, that thing is just another beast!
The old saying never judge a book by its cover.
