I have an Audi A3 SE 1.8 R reg. What could I do to this car to make it faster?

This my latest car, I love it because the insurance premiums won't kill me every month. It is good on petrol and for a 1997 model looks new. I will definetly be add sports shocks for better handling as I'm not feeling the way the car leans on harsh corners/bends. I want to make it faster, the take of doesn't impress me. I want to also change the exhaust. Any tips prices etc? Cheers
Expected some silly answers. Not supprised at all, I wonder what provoked some of you people to behave like this. I've had a few cars in my life time, decided to go back down from bigger engines to a decent 1.8. I would like to make it faster........ what is the problem? An early thanks to those who decide to help me with a reasonble response. To those who choose to behave this way on a regular basis..check yourselves..

Not an easy one this.

Your car has 123bhp as standard. You can put an induction kit on it that would give you another 10bhp maybe, but otherwise, you're not going to get huge gains unless you spend a small fortune.

I think your plan to upgrade the suspension is a good one. If a car corners well then you can go round them much faster. I used to drive a Saxo 1.5D with 57bhp that could corner faster than my old Audi S2 with 290bhp! Simply because the suspension was sorted. Fitting a stiffer anti-roll bar makes a huge difference.

Also look at upgrading your brakes. Most gains on twisty roads are made in braking late and going fast around corners rather than straight line speed.

However, if it is simply straight line speed that you want then a cheap option is a Nitrous (NOS) kit. Another option would be to transplant a 1.8T engine into your car. These engines can be tuned very easily and very inexpensively, but you'd obviously have to get the engine and get it fitted first.

You mentioned that you like your cheap insurance premiums. I think suspension mods will keep them cheap whereas engine mods will likely raise them a bit more.

Either way, you're going to have to pay a little bit more.
