What have you done to your 8V today?

But what a terrible thing to suggest, oh the shame................ a french car,

I've never had one in over fifty years of motoring............. couldn't start now. Although there is one.





Renault Alpine A 110 Sp


I have a friend who has an ex works Rally Car. Its so unreliable but stunning to look at and ride in.

My car was in with Enigma in Ashford today, fitted rs3 style grill, revo stage 1 remap and the revo carbon intake. Was expecting a difference but amazed at the difference in power, delivery and sound! Chuffed to bits to say the least!

They did, opted for the chrome surround to match the rest of the car rather than 'black pack' effect grill.

When you learn what most of the wiring in your car does by doing the B&O retrofit. :)
Deconstructing a loom with B&O installed to use it on my car, a bargain at only £150 with other extras I can use the wiring for :)

Holy moses..............rather you than me mate!! :sadlike:

It's not too bad, Stripping 30 odd cables out of the loom to reuse in my car, it will be a carpet out job but that's fine I'll just follow the instructions on Elsawin and take my time. It's amazing what you can learn from the loom and connectors when it's out of the car though, very logically laid out.

Well it wasn't today but Tuesday I have Revo stage 2 low boost software installed but set to stock mode until I fit my de-cat.

Looking forward to seeing how it performs and what the results are.

Now that's commitment, and a textbook lesson why you should buy the right stereo in the first place...

It even looks like it'd be less grief to just buy a car with B&O already in it, but it's a commendable effort none the less.:salute:

Unfortunately I didn't buy my car brand new so didn't have that option besides where's the fun in that? It's good to have something on the go to keep the old Grey matter going

Drove the ****** thing again for the first time in 4 months since it was stolen & subsequently found & repaired.

Not a day too soon, I was beginning to bond with the Peugeot 1.6 diesel courtesy car.

Booked it in for a service. Twice. Tried Bath Audi first, who then said they wouldn't be able to drop me into town while the car was with them. I had a little think and decided I wasn't happy with that, so I rebooked it in with Salisbury Audi who aren't in the middle of bleedin' nowhere!

Had the Milltek sport cat downpipe fitted and Revo stage 2, not driven it very far yet but definitely fills the mid range gaps that stage 1 has and pulls like a train. Very impressed with the Milltek DP too, glad that cabin noise and refinement have not suffered. Looking forward to getting the Revo intercooler fitted next week for full effect and what should be 400bhp+ :-

Absolutely mate it should be immense. I can't see me parting with an extra £25k+ to change for an RS3 so I'm having some fun with it - it's completely transformed compared to when it left the showroom, best part of it is that it looks and sounds (pretty much) like a standard S3.

LoL I have to get creative sometimes mate I have to admit. The 'store room' which is the garage loft is getting fuller of original parts which of course are from other cars or bits I bought to sell on - bit of a Dell boy thing going on !!
