Got some bits done today! (Pic Heavy)

[DaveA3]

Hey All,

Just a lil car update i really should make a build thread but meh for now this is what got sorted today:

Firstly old brakes off:

New S3 Brakes on (sorry didnt take pic inbetween because i forgot tbh and OMG dirty wheels ) car is still jacked btw thats not my ride height lol

Painted those bad boys last night with trusty hammerite. Now the first pipe the ******* one! audi decided to face the jubileee clip out of sight so it was hassle... bumper half off head light out other bits moved. its alot better than the old one. its a nice diameter the whole way over the thin then thick audi one

a few more done

and finally .. all done!

car seems to pull a bit better now and it looks alot nicer

creation motorsport boost pipe kit alot cheaper than forge and just as good quality

You finding the brakes alot better??

I take it you went from 288mm to 312mm, hoping to get my 312's on soon, how are you finding them?

 

[DaveA3]

yeh 312 brakes theyre a fair bit better u can really feel the difference. still need bedding a bit as they were sitting for a while they had some surface rust but its mostly come off now and looking shiney but yeh a nice improvement and im sure theyll only get better.

What pads did you use for the brakes mate?

 

[coatesy]

yeah man looks sweet with all the blueness going to treat my self to a set of them pipes after the fmic is on

What pads did you use for the brakes mate?

theyre ATE pads from eurocarparts

yeah man looks sweet with all the blueness going to treat my self to a set of them pipes after the fmic is on

cheers man yeh its worth it for the price of em but a few pipes are a right pain in the **** to get at. recommend bumper off for 2 of em. might be an idea to do em at the same time as ur fmic and 2 of the pipes are going to the intercooler
