I have a fully stripped A3 quattro converted with APX engine. The engine is stock and when weight i had only fitted one bucket seat and had a stock passenger seat fitted temperately. The wheels was road tires and not the lightest. 1240kg with half tank. The end result is around 1220kg i think.

I would recommend re-routing the hose on the gearbox side both ways to avoid heat from the turbo side. Using a Passat reservoir 3B0 422 371 and replace all with new high pressure tube...

Nice job with the car so far. Whats your plans for oil temp and pressure?

Here's a teaser from last weeks session

First track weekend done! Car worked pefectly with no issues what so ever. Did a lot of fighting with a S3 and my brake upgrade gave me a huge benefit round after round. We did 20min heats and I never lost brakes, but after a few heats the S3 brakes started to fade a bit. Used a set of...

New downpipe fitted: R32 steeringrack fitted: Alignment done:

Car has passed its MOT and I'm finally able to do some more modifications. Mounted coilovers, R32 brakes and a set of OZ wheels with Michelin Cup tires. Started to strip out the interiour as well, so far the rear and bits in the dashboard. Also bought a part car with a K04 upgrade...

Rear brakes fitted Exhaust needed some attention. After welding I painted it with heat pain just to stop it from rusting. Having MOT next week and after that i'll start on the rest of modifications needed before trackdays.

An update two weeks before first track day. Searched through my part storage and found some bits to install R32 brakes front and rear. KW var 1 coilovers R32 streering rack Wire loom from BMW to relocate battery to the rear. And some other small bits. Should I use a fuse when moving...

Have my inlet off for cleaning and changing injectors and managed to brake off one of the male nipples for the fuel pressure. What is the easy and quickest way to fix this? Plug it an use a T connection from the other? Or drill and insert a suitable fitting? Help!

I've got the same issue with mine. Both sides and the top mounted is dead and thats a led. Replaced the brake light switch and still no action. My next step is to check the wire loom on the hatch. Might be a broken wire there.

Thanks! Yeah I have read a lot in that thread, actually how I found my way to this forum. WIll be picking up a lot of tips from there, thanks.

Hi guy's! A Norwegian here trying to build a cheap but effective track car and looking for tips and information. Bought the car cheap for 10k Nok since the MOT was due in 2015 and the car has been parked for the last two years. It's a 2000 model 1,8 turbo quattro with AQA engine and a 02M...
