Cheers Alex. I'm sure you'll see an improvement. Do you do any track days in your beast? How much power are you running your car at now and what level of mapping have you got on yours?

They're a proper race wheel made by a Spanish firm called Braid. They've been custom made to take the centre lock wheel nut. I think I posted some more details about them somewhere in the thread. They are really nice wheels and strong so they can take a bit of abuse over curbs.

Here is a photo that we took whilst on the dyno. Cool don't you think?

Thanks everyone. Alex; It is the Eurojet one, but I dont think they make them anymore. As you rightly say I.E cam cover is the way forward. We have supplied a few of these for people and they look the business :icon_thumright:

At long last our S3 track car is finished. Or at least 99% complete! The car went on to the dyno last week to be run-in (no power runs I'm afraid) which was successful. We've since dropped the oil out of the engine to check it's condition and that all looks as it should, so the next step is...

Very nice piece of engineering.

Sorenson inlet manifold?

It works with canbus but needs immobilizer defeat

I'm pleased to say that just before Christmas we were able to start and run the S3 for the first time in over two years! We finally got to the stage where we could start it (all though it does now have x2 accelerator pedals and x2 clutch pedals! We haven't sorted out the wiring yet for the...

Thanks Micky. I think you are right about the RS3 wings but I don't think they will fit because the headlight looks a different shape. The power to weight ratio should be okay so fingers crossed we wont be under powered. But if we are lacking a few ponies the engine is built to handle big power...

Probably best not to even think about it! But it's knocking on two years in the making. Gulp! It'll be finished just as the racing season finishes. Typical! :banghead:

Thats handy. In which case the wide arch wings should fit then.

Happy halloween all. Been continuing the work on the S3 for the past few days. As it's looking so close to completion we couldn't resist getting the sticker machine out and making some stickers. It's really starting to look like a propper race car! Featuring 'BDM Tuning Parts Online'...

We are really pleased with how the car looks. The wings will have to be painted but I think we will leave the bonnet as is. The front bumper is standard, standard splitter etc but we might make something a little different for it. The bonnet is carbon fiber. Light as a feather. We got it from...

We have spent another couple of days on the car this week and have sorted a few bits and bobs... Oil cooler is now fitted and all the lines have been made up. I cant get enough of those aeroquip fittings. Oil catch tank and breather all sorted. Carbon bonnet fitted, tick. Love the...
