The Build

2018 Audi S3 ‘6MT Swap’

This S3 is sporting a proper three-pedal 6-speed manual thanks to a transmission swap from a MK7.5 Golf. A lightweight flywheel has been fitted to make the engine more lively, and a stage 3 clutch puts the power down reliably. Brake calipers from a Porsche Macan have been fitted up front with 2-piece J-hook brake rotors for some extra stopping power, while a Maxton front lip, side skirts, and rear diffuser work with Apex SM-10 wheels to freshen up the look. This is believed to be the only facelift 8V S3 in the US with a manual, and all systems function as they should.
