    R.I.P a3 tqs

    Thanks for the messages guys, I'm gutted but it's just metal at the end of the day and the more I think about it the more I realise just how lucky I was to walk away, could have been so much worse. Thinking about going a4 next as I've just had another kid and the extra space would be great, if...

    S3 MAP sensor pipe on a3 fmic

    Hey guys just a quick one does the a3 Quattro use the same MAP sensor as the s3 and if so when fitting a fmic could I use a modified/cut down s3 pipe instead of getting one from forge as the forge ones are 4 times the price. Thanks guys

    Benjamins S2000 air filter mod.

    I fitted mine without a heat shield because from what I've researched on our engines it makes naff all difference, I just cable tied the little prong on the end to the loop for the standard air box

    Benjamins S2000 air filter mod.

    Poly cast engine mounts

    It definitely shakes but It's just not unbearable like some people have said, I do have one bit of my dash just under the windscreen that vibrates at about 1500-2000rpm and makes a loud buzzing noise but I reckon I can sort that by jamming something in there lol. Apart from that its all good and...
