    Hey there people, I was curious about converting a us spec A3 to S3.
    I know HPA does awd conversions for these types of cars, but I was wondering what would be cheaper. Plan one would be to buy a 2.0T Quattro A3 and have a shop do whatever would be necessary to swap a 6-speed from a fwd a3. The second plan would consist of buying a fwd A-3 and having HPA make a new floor pan for the rear Diff. Now I'm guessing that the first option would be cheaper, but having never done this, I figured I'd post it up here for feedback. Any opinions, suggestions, ect is greatly appreciated.

    Once you figure out all the costs there is close to a zero chance of you doing this.
