Hi guys, so I was thinking of turning this into a small build thread for a couple of reasons really, firstly as much as some of the issues I have with the car I still enjoy it and I've never seen another one in the same colour as mine and secondly to try and stop opening more threads asking question. This will be a slow build tbh as ill be doing this as well as try off the good flexible friends lol,
I've owned my car for nearly 2 years in the first year of owning the car I didn't do anything to it but always felt it was under powdered and so that's really when the "slippery slop " started, so thought I would get the cam belt changed, then it was onto finding out more about having it mapped, so I starting getting some bits together to help out with a map, so I bought a 3" de cat and downpipe,forge 007p, 80mm jetex filter, silicone tip, silicone turbo outlet pipe and replaced the hoses under the inlet manifold. So then I started to ask who would be good for mapping an AGU most people kept saying R-tech so I booked in and done everything they said to do before making the trip up there, very nice and helpful bunch of guys up there, being the first time that I've evr done anything like this a car before I was asking some questions after they had got the map on and finished it, came anyway with 187hp 227 ft on the standard k03 which they said was pretty good. Since then I've fitted fk coilovers, valeo smf. Prob a few oth things that I can't really think of at the moment, but my short term plans are eto get this hand hand pull that many of you know sorted out so its booked into an independent audi specialist on Friday to see if he can see what's going on, I know I need better track rod ends than what I have on there now, long term I'd like to go stage 2 and get an s3 interior, I will get pictures up as and when I'd do this or trying to fix problems that I come across. Like I've said tho it will be a slow build.
So I will be picking people's brains at sometime as there are a few things that need to be done.
