Oh yeah and get my engine build on the go!

Unscratched heater controls

Retro fit cruise control
FMIC
Exhaust and downpipe
Stage 1 map
think thatll keep me going! :rockwoot:

(if anyone has any of the above unscratched items surplus to requirements, hit me with PM)
 
Actually get the gtx up and running....oh and try my best to get in the 500's ;)

Oh and also keep abusing the **** out of it lol
 
Fit my TT Turbines.
Purchase and fit turbo blanket.
Resolve Lean condition
Finish my map with NLS and AL
And a set of rods :D

Then actually use my car...
 
replacement head
Supertech valves
Mild cams
Port turbo hotside
Replacement high flow exhaust manifold
gain some horsepower from the above
 
Plans are to get the handling sorted for this year, ready for ko4 conversion the following year.

2013:
coilovers,
white line rear anti roll bar,
lcr lower arms,
lcr power steering rack,
lcr hubs,
lcr front anti roll bar,
vrs rear subframe bush
256mm rear brake setup
996 front caliper conversion
s3 wheels (providing they fit over the porka brakes)
replace all bushes with poly

2014:
Source agu engine for rebuild
 
Just been given until the 21st off work so hopefully I can crack on with getting this lot on...

Stroked 2.0 AGU (in progress now, finally) with 9.5:1 pistons
GT2871R
IE inlet manifold
044 pump + IE surge tank (for the above)
Tial QR valve (just to see what it's like)
SPA Design boost + fuel pressure gauge
Ground Control camber + caster top mounts
IDF/USRT tubular front control arms
Replace bushes

Possibly:
H&R RSS coilovers
TFSI coils

Then thrash it daily. It won't be everyones ideal daily as it'll be almost fully rose jointed and if I get the RSS coilovers, mega firm. It already has pretty solid engine mounts which lose a fair bit of refinement.

Other half got me Tappets for xmas... :wub:

One down, Exhaust next
 
Stage 2 Remap
Ported manifold
New wheels
Respray
Insurance!
 
For me hopefully:

Remap
DV
Milltek
Induction/TIP kit
Do something with the grill

And sort out the STANCE!!!
 
Not a big fan of the Milltek's now

Pipewerx is a better bet JayP

Thanks for the advice but to be honest i've already booked in at Awesome to have the Milltek fitted, the deal i got was too good to refuse.

Why would you say the Pipewerx is better?

I'll try the Milltek, if i dont like it i may change it.
 
I have a Milltek and like it. Not too loud so I don't look a nob but sounds good. Every custom exhaust I've heard that doesn't cost the earth, generally sound ****e.
 
Most of my plans for the new year are chassis related, so not really relevant for this forum, I'll still update in my build thread though.

Engine wise I'm not really sure, plan will be to get the chassis good and see what sort of power I think it'll actually be able to put down properly, then spec it to give that amount of power as efficiently/smoothly/responsively as possible. Knowing me expect everything to be custom and a bit weird haha.

Also if all goes well I'll probably be looking for a B5 A4 (TDI quattro) as a daily driver/tow car too.

I'll try and make it along to a few Audi-sport events/meets as well.
 
For 2013 my plan is to firstly get my car back on the road after the gearbox went boom!

Then-

New windscreen
Replace the passenger front wing (tiny bit of rust is starting to appear)
Get the front bumper resprayed + wings and bonnet
Full detail and paint enhancement
XCarlink Iphone adapter
Welly FMIC
Cat back Powerspeed custom made exhaust
Stage 2 CC Remap

Plus a few other little bits and pieces but I won't bore you lot with them :)
 
Not much planned for 2013 for me as i did more than i expected to to my car in 2012 lol.

First off its booked into Audi for Jan the 7th for its recall so should get 4 new coil packs for FREE :)

Still keeping my eye out for some nice brembos preferably an LCR setup but some 4pot Boxster S rears will work nicely too.

fit my poly top mounts finally.

Get it on a proper dyno to see what its running.

Cambelt will need doing at some point plus a haldex service.

Depending on how it lasts possibly a new clutch too (probably the Awesome GTI heavy duty one)

possibly relace the OEM cat back exhaust with a milltek or similar

Possibly either a Badger 5 or R-tech remap to utilise the mods more effectively than the revo stage 2 software.

If i come into i nice wad of cash then it will be large port head, relentless V3 mani, Rods and a hybrid K04 :)

Oh and a good detailing session
 
Id like to get a fmic, exhaust system, remap and some lowered suspension so not a great deal but worth doing all the same
 
All I want is to find someone to fit a new clutch for me for a decent price, I have all the parts they just need fitting.

Any offers drop me a PM, I got a huge garage loads of tools and will pay cash and help out if anyone is interested in earning some £$£$£

Mine has just had 12 months tax and MOT oil change and new oil pick up pipe and replaced a split PVC hose. Full service and remap hopefully in January then try and sort my BOSE amp out as having to fade to rear speakers due to dry solder problems then fix whatever decides to break in the meantime.
