    A little update... Last week I ordered 3m of 4mm internal diameter black silicone hose ready for n249 bypass. I largely followed a great thread on here by Welly http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/general-technical-how/84402-n249-bypass-how-2000-s3-but-same-many.html This guide was vary straight...

    I've seen a few mkIV golfs riding through town with Avus alloy's, however they don't have centre caps. :/

    The S3 is looking a little sorry for itself currently. Wake up, about to drive to school and this is what I'm met with... and... all four wheel centres have been pinched :mad: Audi want £80, anyone got any for sale? Andy

    When you do remove the scratches be careful not the sand too hard and go down to the paint layer! :D

    The little filter to the left of the battery is a small oil breather that was bunged in a breather pipe off the standard airbox. OEM box back on now all standard plumbing back in place. Not sure what to do about induction keeping it all OEM looking :/ Andy

    Spent a bit of time washing my car the other day, and it comes up really well. Definitely love the colour. The downside however were the amount of scratches the car has picked up, all the way around the car. Luckily the majority are not very long or very deep so they can be sorted. This picture...

    FMIC fitted :)

    Vrbob - that's a shame about the cooler! Have you thought about chucking the drive side smic back in and run it inline with you fmic? Or would this not yield good results? Andy

    Freeman. Not many tips really, just don't lose patience with it. Be even wih your sanding. I found alternating between clockwise and anticlockwise worked well and gave a good clean result. I used some Halfrauds rubbing compound to remove the fine scratches created by the sanding. Other...

    That's a pretty good output! :D I'm just getting things ordered now to get myself ready for a stage 2. Deciding what size FMIC to go for. I'm looking OEM as possible, and something that is drive-able and vaguely reliable as it's my daily. Andy

    Yesterday I decided to sort out some bodywork issues. Instead of getting work done the car took my attention for a few hours! Jobs: Scratch Removal Headlight Polishing In this picture, although hard to see the O/S headlight is filthy, dulled and generally looked crap and discolored. The N/S...

    It's not had a PVC delete but I have removed the K&N and reinstated te OEM air box. N429 will be removed and general boost hoses replaced with silicone substitutes :)

    That would be an option, but for the cost of 2 maps, I think I can wait. :)

    I'll have a look for some facelift rear sets. I'd like to do the engine enhancements first then get it custom mapped. The cars getting on now so a custom would be ideal for the condition of the engine and the modifications made. I'm pretty sure it's Ming blue. Wheels need a refurb, any ideas...

    Hi, new to the forum, though I'd share the old bird. Bought just after Christmas this year with 87,000 on the clock. Fairly well maintained service history. Pretty good condition, few chips and scratches but expected. Cambelt was done and haldex was serviced last year. It's an APY 210hp pre...

    FMIC fitted :)

    I've been having a good ol research on here, I agree, do-able but very tight. How far back did you mount your cooler?

    Good stuff! I'm looking to get my s3 to stage 2, not overly keen to go any further, she's an old girl now but is fairly low mileage and a pretty well documented service history. Been looking on ebay 'down-under' and found a pretty good intercooler, similar to yours just a little larger... NEW...

    Did you get it mapped and dyno'd after? What were the results? Ta
