114 people have looked at this and not one of them have done a single performance mod? Is the 3 a car just for the LED washer squirter crowd or what?
What have you done?!?!?!?!???
I'm new to this forum and have just spent about 40 minutes reading posts.
I know there isn't much out yet in terms of aftermarket parts but i have read that there are a couple intakes floating around as well as exhaust systems. I want to know who has done what mods to their 3 and what they think of the gains in any. I don't care what the mods are, free ones like removing the intake resonator or aftermarket ones like intakes and such. Bring it!

I heave read a lot of posts, few of people telling about mods they have done. I just thought i'd start another post to see what ideas people had to offer...

yeah, there aren't too many mods to do yet. stubby antenna, tint, stereo. dunno.
I've seen those stubby antenas on e bay and they look much better than stoc. The problem is that in the pics they are all shown on VW's, does anyone have one, does is actually thread right in or is fabrication needed?
i have a stubby...its threaded perfect, you just screw it on.
but as far as my mods...all ive changed is the antenna to a stubby, changed the license plate cover and put the hoen replacement low beam & foglights in. not too exciting.

Look at my sig and you'll have a good idea what I have done. I have threads that speak of them if you search.

just as any other lowered car would ride. its the same.conor said:how bad is the ride? bouncy?
LOL! Yeah right, cutting your stock springs and a quality performance suspension set up are not even close to being the same. The fact is that cutting your springs is the WRONG way to lower any car. Cutting springs will result in inconsistant spring rates as well as weakening the springs. All quality aftermarket performance springs are designed to lower the car and increase spring rates designed to improve handling performance of the car. You should also use aftermarket struts designed to function with increased springs rates any time higher rate springs are used unless the OEM struts have adjustable valving already.just as any other lowered car would ride. its the same.
