My silver S3 from South Africa

[Scullies]

That escort looks very familiar. Does it have a v8 under the bonnet?

I can't believe the crap that came out the filter, what's more scary is there is a lighter next to the cup of fuel

Collected my FMIC yesterday.
Will do a test fitment when I have some time and then get th 76mm ally bends welded onto it.

Also had some DP flanges cut by Magsta for Tiaan and I, when we one day decide to do exhaust.

Went to Autostyle to collect a set of 19" BBS CH wheels for a bud's MK5 but they were sold out, so he said he wanted my wheels, and ill never let a opportunity pass to get a new set of wheels
So the deal was done and I got a new set of 18" audi RS6 reps with brand new tyres.

Looking good! i think these wheels really suit the silver s3! They look as if they fill the arches nicely. Good job!

 

[Sidey]

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

Did some work this weekend.


Lubricant Service with MOTUL.

Changed the front Stabilizer bar bushes to Powerflex ones.

Gave the Engine, Chassis and wheels a pressure wash.

Started on the test fitment of the FMIC.

 

[PDBoosted]

Thanks bud, nope fogs will be removed.

Received my cooler back from welding.

 

[PDBoosted]

That's going to look mean with the boost pipes showing...

 

[Sidey]

Fitted the cooler this weekend.


Drilled holes in the cradle

Inserted some rivnuts with stainless cap screws

Used some angel iron to mount the cooler to, with brackets welded on

Brackets bent for the attachment of the bottom of the cooler

Piping done and leak test done

Bumper trimmed and fitted back, still needs some slight trimming to line up 100%

Looks like a nice tidy install Sidey :icon_thumright: what are the gains like? Noticeable straight away?

Thanks Adam, I haven't really had a chance to drive the car properly as this morning on the way to work my intank pump gave up on me

 

[Adam P]

Ahh that's not good mate, when you get to give it a good drive and plenty of boost let us know what you think/prefer in comparison to the twin side mount inter-coolers.

 

[louis.vl]

Amazing work!

 

[Sidey]

Collected my new OEM pump yesterday, made a nice big hole in my pocket. Damn Quattro spares.

Old pump out

New vs old

Level sensor transferred onto new pump

Now I can remove the noisy High flow inline pump I fitted to help with fuel delivery cause the old pump was not pushing enough pressure.

 

[Kuvi-S3]

Glad its sorted dude

 

[Sidey]

Picked up a set of AP RACING Seat Sport calipers for a decent deal a month ago. Now have some free time to give them a refurb.
Test fitted to check clearance on wheels.

[/quote]

Stripped them part to make cleaning alot easier, also got new jointer lines made up and new bleed valves with nipple caps.

Filthy

2hours into the one caliper, used Paint stripper and a wire wheel on the dril, got some new dremel bits to get into the hard to reach places.

Much better

[/quote]

 

[Sidey]

Put a few more hours into the calipers Yesterday afternoon.


All sanded down, cleaned and re-assembled
Seat Sport Logo sanded off too

Primer applied
Tonight I will flat the primer and add some colour

 

[Gizmo20VT]

A decent improvement over single pod ! Nice work brother!

 

[Sidey]

Some colour added, need to add the Decals now and then clearcoat.

 

[PDBoosted]

Wow looks amazing!

 

[Sidey]

Decals and clearcoat done.

 

[Sidey]

Got cracking on the brakes yesterday, thanks to Aidz who came and gave a hand with the fitting and bleeding.


So refurbed AP Calipers
New EBC RED pads
New Meyle Discs


Now just to bed them in.

 

[Sidey]
