1063432 10201736943290427 1802280712 nFitted my new ttrs/black edition wheels and rokkor lowing springs on the rear (fronts to be done tomorrow)
 
So the heatwave has done wierd things. Pushed the cupholder in and then it jammed, would not come back out, thought it was broken untill yesturday when it randomly popped out and started working again.

Then had both windows down and now the switch (and the auto up on lock) doesnt work, so I have to keep it off the road. No idea if a fuse is gone or if it will randomly work again like the cupholder!

DISASTER STRUCK!

in this potential heat wave england, A CAN OF 7UP EXPLODED inside my car!

It was located INSIDE the armrest, this acted as a oven and then when the can exploded, the pressure BLEW the armrest open! and went literally EVERYWHERE and also left a puddle inside (thankgod it was water tight)

**** IS STICKY...

I have tried lifting the top of the armrest off without using the catch and i cannot do it, it just lifts the armrest completly up so GODKNOWS how it did it.

The can was also a mess as the top had alot of bent aluminium at the explosion point.

you can all laugh now.

Hahahaha love this especially how it was written! Taking my #babygirl for a 300 mile trip from Cambridge to Abersoch in Wales today, hoping it's not as muddy as last year!

She's been de-chromed now too so at least the mud wont show as easily ha :ninja:



Lucky it's not white like my mates mini...

Boydie - How did the cooler hold out as i am really struggling in this heat and need to get one sorted ASAP!?
 
Went for a night blast in a 1000cc bike engined Suzuki Kit-car the other day (sequential box)

Flames on over run, constant banging and popping, wheel spinning with ease in 3rd gear.

My ears were still ringing the next day.

CRAZY LOUD, It could be heard 10 miles away according to friends of mine.

I want one.
 
rounded off the thread of one of the pipes that go into my fuel pump while tightening it back in after cam follower change.

Safe to say when i turned the ignition, petrol went everywhere. Clearly wasn't tight enough, and now waiting for a new one from local audi.
 
Drove to gym, fuel light is on...;(

Had a single mass flywheel and turned my s3 into a cement mixer as @S3Alex says. Mrs is ****** off and is asking why I paid to have my car sound broken.
