Looks alright. 7.5" variety? The gf has those on the Leon. Lighter than my a4 wheels
they didn't come off Troopas car did they Westy?
Looks nice, so different for just a change of wheel colour!
Yeah I plugged the TB and the TIP. I've kept all the hose and didn't damage any of the Evap stuff so I think I'll just plumb it all back in.
Defeatist.... lol.
F U man
I tried to plumb it back in the other day and I couldn't be *****. Think I'll just pop the resistor on
Defeatist.... lol.
ooooh fight fight fight.
Keep it out and anything else that doesnt matter..weight loss ftw!
Need the retarded ECU in our early cars. I pulled the carbon cannister sensor off and left the open plug expecting the light to be on like everyone said it would. Nope nothing lol. Just have an airbag light staring at me currently from no rear belts and bucket seat. I thought it would always annoy me before i did it all but you get used to it and zone it out of your field of vision.
With my MOT testers i`ll be fine
haha no worries. Still need to come see you to make use of your ultrasonic cleaner
Westy.
Sorry to go slightly off topic on ur thread but not sure where else to throw it.
Ur ultrasonic cleaner. Is it a specialist piece or can u just use any available (subject to bath size) an what solution do you use when cleaning engine components?
Cheers mate.
You can use pretty much any available mate. I think the Silver Fox uses one from Maplins. I think he used the accurate measure of '1 squirt of Fairy Liquid' when he cleaned my FPR and injectors.
Up to 414 miles now and so far so good. Been driving it quite hard this weekend and I have been noticing the power tailing off when the wmi kicks in. It's not every time but it noticeable. I'm currently running the smallest nozzle and it's only running at half pump on 12psi upwards.
Apart from that, all is well.
Aaah thanks Jason. I am down in Kent unfortunately.
Do people usually stick to OEM audi brake parts? or go elsewhere? std S3 sizes for the time being. Seen some Brembo max discs for the front at £130. Mot sure on pad choice really... rears are easy from ebay at £50 for discs and pads... Fronts I know are more important
Then there's the oil servicing. Any OEM dealer must haves? (filters i'd imagine)
This is an interesting subject to me.
I fitted my pump in the engine bay on the firewall behind the tip, going to wire up the controller in a couple of days.
Do you run plain water or w/m mix?
I'm going to run mine just with water and small nozzle to begin with.
The AEM kits recommend you dont fit the pumps in the engine bay to protect them from the weather (granted it's better in Aus) and heat.
I was running just water but have a little meth in there now too.
Before I did the engine rebuild I was getting a slight power dip when the WMI kicked in but it was difficult to tell whether it was the WMI or the slipping clutch. Now I have a new clutch I'm sure it can only be the WMI. I need to see what's happening on the dyno.
which nozzle?
start spray psi later and see
Needs some pro race 1.2's on it or some ultraleggera , looks good though matey.
I have spent the last few days reading your thread, amazing effort and a lot of information in it towards this car. Can I ask if you have the part number for that R8 filler cap? I'm going to clean up my rocker cover and would like to add that cap as a finishing touch, thank you.
the car looks suprisingly awesome on those wheels! i like.
btw, you left your dv and n75 pipes off the charge pipe. duuhhhhhhhhhhh
