MIGGZ's A3 1.8t - The all rounder build thread

That happened to my cog pulley lol and I snapped two valves just buy turning car over ooopps
 
so a random pic i took yesterday




and on a more productive list:

tomorrow the Audi goes in for some tuning finally
going to be doing the footwell lights as i have so many meters of the crap at home

and on a serious note, had to rush a mate to hospital on saturday night and did about 25 to 30km of pure hardcore racing there and by the time i got there the brakes were very hard which only means that i must have ****** the pads a little. stopped at the hospital for about an hour and once i got back into the car it was all sweet and ready to go again. so im going to have to do some cooling methods soon.... SIGH
 
Epic pic dude... Looks nice and low! Don't you ever feel like your going to scrape your cupra lip off? I'm contemplating fitting one but I don't want to struggle getting into my drive way...

On a side note, even though they were sh1t circumstances it must have been pretty epic racing like that? Something out of a movie scene haha... What brake pads are you running? My brakes are KAK! i've been looking at EBC/Powerbrake/Ferrodo... They all pretty expensive! What the best performance vs cost option? Shot dude

Got the car back last night feels amazing! Had a 4 runs last night to, 2x A3 1.8T both got killed, a black S2000 with skunk stickers all over it, it also got killed then the last one was a C63 AMG I never beat it but I was at his boot till 4th then ran out of road

this makes me excited to get my car back
