Awesome project, very impressed :-). How are you finding it on the track now? Also where did you source the tubular anti roll bar? Cheers

My vr6 used to max out at about -2.5 degrees on the front which is plenty for road use. Might be worth getting a hub and trying it. Late mk3 top mounts are the same as mk4/a3 items so shock height should be similar. I will have to compare the installed length and the angle of the steering arms...

I was thinking earlier about the lack of camber adjustment on the front suspension on the A3 chassis. Anyone who is familiar with mk2/mk3 Golf suspension will know the front struts have the ability to adjust camber through two pinch bolts that connect the strut to the hub. Theoretically, as long...

I done mine in about 30 mins, no problems at all with 1/4" drive snap on socket set.

Have you had the wheels balanced? I'd get the tyres checked for deformities and check the wheel run out and geometry.

Has anyone found a trick for doing this? Haynes book if lies says that the spring clips are quite strong and it has to be pushed out from behind, but obviously it's not in the most accessible area. Any help appreciated. Cheers.

Can anyone recommend anywhere to get my car remapped in Essex? I've heard mixed things about AMD. Cheers.

on my 1999 a3 1.8t 2wd its under the dash on the drivers side near the bonnet release handle.

wrong headlights, and grille?

Does anyone know what the benefits of the tt wishbones are? How are tt hubs different? Does the tt anti roll bar mount to the original positions on the a3 subframe? Cheers

Oh appolagies guys I was under the impression they were alluminium.

Can aluminium TT wishbones be used on an 8l A3? How do they effect the geometry? Do you need the TT hubs as well? Cheers.

99 A3 1.8T AGU. 139,000 miles No engine faults New wishbones, ball joints and track rod ends (preventative maintanence) 1x front wheel bearing Will no doubt need a new clutch before too long and a few engine mounts.

Cheers guys. Future plans are on hold till well into the new year due to finances. But going to be dropping it a bit and doing something with the wheels, then i'll be making up a new exhaust system for it and looking at getting it mapped.

Looking good fella. How would you say the A3 chassis and engine performs at track/nurburgring level? Is it up to the job/long term abuse?

Press the button at the base of the drivers side B pillar trim before locking the car to turn off the interior movement sensors. This will elliminate them from the equation, they are a common fault on mk4 golfs.

Time to update this thread. Since the last pics were taken ive mostly focused on replacing the consumable parts that wear over time. Its had 2 new wishbones, ball joints and track rods and rod ends and a front wheel bearing. Also fitted lower profile tyres (gone down to 45's.) initial reason...

Pre facelift reflector based headlights are h7. Later projector type are h1.

Installed a set in my girlfriends facelift 8l today. Just search for 'h1 hid kit' I bought a 50w kit from HID's-direct.
