Welcome to 2011 what's your plans for you car?
 
remap + milltek exhaust system when i got some spare £££
 
Just to get engine back in and too drive it.. lol..
 
1999 S3 Finish engine build, remap then use as daily.

2001 S3, New bushes, fit coilovers, haldex service, cambelt, water pump etc. Smarten up bodywork, then sell.

Find a new project or 2.
 
Wiltec fmic, 630cc injectors, support for GT2871R. :)
 
probably in this order.

Wheel refurb
New door trim
3" tip
FMIC
Stronger rods and possibly new clutch
Down pipe, decat and exhaust
Hybrid turbo

at least thats the plan
 
I need to decide if i'm selling the S3 and MG and getting something sportier or if i'm keeping them.

If keeping the S3 then...

Full exhaust (probably custom)
Badger 3" TIP
Stage 2 map
BBS LMs
Eibach springs
Cosmetic tidy/Detail

...and keep it another 12-18 months.

And for the MG...
Run-in the recently rebuilt and overbored engine
Remove stripes and renew number plates
Possibly new carpets
New Yokos
Raise exhaust an inch if possible
Get dad to fix the dents he put in it!
 
Bigger spacers
New wheels
Get the 3" downpipe on
FMIC
Jabba sport heat shield (already on the way)
Few other bits and bobs
Stage 2 Revo map
 
Love it :wub:, cherish it :kiss: and apply a fresh coat of wax once the ****** weather improves.

Oh, and (in priority order):
1. drop the sump to clean out the oil pick-up
2. fix the driver's side electric door mirror mechanism
3. fix the left hand tailgate release microswitch
4. install an Andymac sub:icon_thumright: when funds allow me to.
 
When the weather gets better first I am gonna do is detail the hell out of the old girl as she is filthy!! (although not as filthy as the wifes car which is essentially a skip!)

Refurb the RSTT's ready for show season
Try and get to the magic 400 (you know what I mean ;))
WMI
335mm rotors if my 330's wear out
R32 ARB's
List of little jobs and fixes I want to do as I am OCD++

Well my baby has been on axle stands for 3 weeks now.

Finish painting and refurbing wheels, nearly done.
Finally fit:
Cv boots
Top mounts
Wishbone bushes
Haldex oil and filter
Gearbox oil
 

Intercooler goes on.
Strip it out.
Light weight seats. & alloys.
Possibly Upgrade ARB and suspensions.

GT30R is a dream job whenever I have the right cash especially after last night where an Astra 2.0 GSI with GT30R dominated 335i and 350z supercharged and tuned RS4 B5s. it is def on the wish list.
 
A) Spend as little as possible on it as it sort of owes me already! Need to find out what this squealing sound is that goes for a few seconds after about 10 secs of starting up. Any ideas?

B) Get haldex serviced asap, think Im gonna go to Audi for this as I was quoted about £140 and should be able to get a courtesy car.

C) Service at around April time.

D) Get the drivers door window fixed!!! This has been my main gripe with the car, I love the car and its been very reliable so far but I took it to garage they said they would replace either the motor or the regulator and they did neither opting for a bit of lubrication and a new switch, the switch works fine but shame it operates a window that doesnt go backup!!! Very annoying on the way to work!
 
Got 3 grand to spend on the A3 so i'll be working out what to spend it on then doing it.
 
new turbo,
engine rebuild & new exhaust mani
revo stg3
new wheels and tyres, no idea which yet
rns-e

just a small list :)
