The droplink was replaced with TPS supplied part during its MOT, so i don't know what make was fitted. It should still last more than a couple of thousand miles though.... I'm going to get the front off the floor this week as I have a replacement set of engine undertray fixings to fit. I'll see...

Hi I replaced the OSF drop link about 6 months ago after it started knocking badly. I'm not entirely surprised as the state of the roads here in Cardiff are shocking, particularly with 1.4TDI Sport suspension.... Anyway, it has started knocking again this week. I can't believe the new one is...

Does anyone know anything about the history of a dolphin grey S3 RX02KLO? My mate has just bought it and would be interested to hear from previous owners. It's in very nice condition with 19" RS4's, Forge hoses and DV, heatshield and cone filter and what I think is probably a stage 1 map. Any...

A popular setup is a stock LuK DMF in conjunction with a Sachs paddle plate. I bought it on the advice of @Tuffty and @Gops and they're both running over 600Bhp. If you're not planning to go further than a stage 1 (didn't we all!...) then a LuK will fit the ticket nicely. If you're interested I...

It is sat on the drive Nick.....Waiting for it's new owner to pick her up on the weekend!

You'll be glad to know that I got home in one piece Nick - I took the old backroads to Swindon then joined the M4. First time I've been that way - They are interesting roads when it's quiet! That engine will go on forever - It's a testiment to Andrew, Gops and (to a lesser extent) me that it's...

I don't know @scotty_24 but I have fallen in love with my mates R36 powered AWD Mk2 Golf. It's very, very rapid. It probably didn't help that he hooned me a few times in it....

I have made the decision to break the S3 - I'm planning to go down a different VAG route with a new project. All parts are available and open to sensible offers! Please PM me with any requests. I'm still planning to go to ADI, so that might be an ideal opportunity to hand over any purchases...

For reference, my car made 324 bhp and 305 lb/ft on the Badger5 dyno recently. Its an early W plate car with a small port, narrowband APY engine with all the "normal" mods (see details in my signature). It's not the ideal spec and is maxed out in its present spec, but still good fun.....

I'm having a bit of a wobble this week! - I'm thinking about breaking the S3 to start another project. I've got my eye on a building a 20V Haldex powered Golf after I saw a gorgeous example at Badger5 during my remap. My mate has a shell I can use as a base, but it's going to be a lot of...

Fitted one 4mm macrolon (perspex) window before it started raining again. One of the joys of living in Wales.....

R32 powered MK2 Golf next....

It's ridiculous how similar our cars are specced and look! Mine's only a small port/narrowband APY, so a bit lower on power than yours :expressionless:

Oh, my mate has a set of BC's on his E30 that he's building for a trip to the 'ring. They look the business - considering a set myself. They look amazing value for money.

I've just ordered some of them with sliders. I'll let you know when they are delivered. My front windows don't open, so in this weather I can't wait...

Today I washed all 3 of my babies: As you can see, I like black German cars!!

Everything can be done on the driveway! My whole car has been built there....

I swapped the medium nozzle for the small one when it was on the dyno - The medium nozzle was too much and messing with the fuelling.

It was like a sort of hollow sounding shriek - High pitched. Bill sprayed a load of belt lube stuff on it and it still didn't go away. Interestingly, there wasn't any play on the pulley wheel when I took it off. I hope that helps!

Pics of the fitted panels. I don't think they look too bad. The top caps just need a bit of cleaning and bit of Amour-all. I've ordered some drilled aluminium door pulls, so they'll be fitted on Friday.
