Hi guys,
I've been a member for a few years now. I've used the forum as a great source of info over the years and as a contributor to a few other (non Audi) forums I feel it only right I get more involved with this one.
Like most, if not all, of you I'm passionate about my cars. I'm a borderline obsessive detailer and am quite happy spending several hours over the weekend cleaning, claying, machine polishing, waxing, sealing, detailing etc.
When I joined the audi-sport I had just bought a black tuned 1.8t 8L. Milltek TBE, Carbonio intake and carbon cover, Forge 007 valve, S3 box, suspension and brakes, RS32 suspension parts etc. Was running a Revo stage 2 and was a beast. Sold it because was starting to show its age. Had 140k on the clock and the turbo was getting tired.
Then went onto a red '05 2.0 tfsi S-Line A3 Sportsback. That was pretty standard but I put an uprated DV on, freer flowing panel filter and a stage 1 map. The guys at Unit 20 (Neston, Wirral) done the work and were excellent in every way.
Had that for a year and a half or so then earlier this year bout a white '08 TTS S-Tronic. Didn't have anything done to that but fell in love with the S-Tronic box. Only had that a few months and have just sold it yesterday.
Later today I'm going to look at a red '09 3 door S3 S-Tronic. If it checks out I'll be bringing her home. I'm going to get in touch with Unit 20 again and get a Milltek (resonated) TBE, Forge twintake and stage 2 map (either Revo or Shark), along with the DSG map. After that I want to sort the horrible wheels out, and some shocks and springs (lowered) and sort the stance out. I'd love to get some help with this because the more I read the more confused I get. I want a nice offset but without spacers. Handling the most important.
I commute about 20,000 a year but can't bring myself to get a crappy work car. I spend a couple of hours a day in the car so why not enjoy it?
So, some plans for the next car with some budget to actually get the work done this time!
I look forward to seeing you all around, and I'll get some pics up.
