What have you done to your 8V today?

[Bittern]

Installed a DTE Pedal Box today in my TDI. As I said in here - http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/thread...w-fitting-guide-–-audi-s3–-users-view.272708/ , the throttle response with the added power of my Stage 2 DTUK CRD3+ Tuning Box its mental

Yeah I thought that, and with the warm weather around for another few rare days I thought best to get it off now before it bakes on!

 

[MattSedg]

*also what would people recommend for tree sap, would only be on the car a few days between washes until I'm away from any trees, just your normal snow foam and washmitt? still new to the detailing side of things

They have resurfaced the road on my route to work.......chippings. Currently taking a 5 mile detour to and from work to avoid it. Funny enough, the detour is a great road. The things you do eh!!

Disgraceful!

 

[AndyB-S3]

Making up for the neglect tho...

Was in the zone for trading it in and hadn't washed for a week or 2 but that has since changed and she gets to stay. ;-)

 

[AndyB-S3]

Will never be perfect again but way way better...haha

 

[Rob2k68]

Get it done!!! doesn't give much more bhp but midrange is much better

so far i have
APR stage2
APR intercooler
APR boost kit
Apr tcu map
Neuspeed hi-flow kit
Miltek turbo back
VWR600 intake
Turbo technics intake pipe

Car feels much better but day to day driving is still nearly the same.

I'm Revo stage 1 + with the Revo Carbon air intake but also have CTS turbo inlet, turbo outlet and throttle pipes which I'm guessing is equivalent to the Neuspeed hi-flow kit ?

This may sound like a stupid question ?, but hay ho what do i care if it is i'll ask anyway lol. This "Snow Foam" stuff do you just spray it on then jet wash it off, then thats it ?, or do you still have to use a mitt/sponge etc etc to shift the dirt ?

The latter

The foam is just to loosen the bulk of the dirt and minimise swirling (as you spray it off before touching the paint with a mitt)

Very nice Gaz.

Make sure you use copper grease or similar on the threads first otherwise they can be prone to rusting on.

Got these and can't get them off,as me mate Rob2k68 says best to use some sort of lube to prevent this, prior to fitting them

Ditto lol

 

[Gazjs]

Cheers for the heads up. Not something I would of thought about doing!

 

[testcard]

Quick wash followed by second (and final) coat of Autoglym EGP on bodywork and wheels.

 

[Max-Robbo]

Just the usual wash, topped up EGP with some QD.

Helped the neighbour spray her fiesta wheels and chrome grill black after she saw me do my grill.. They look good... Might be down doing my wheels in the morning...

Few weeks ago... Put leather wrap on the steering wheel. Beefs it up so much more and feels great in hand!

 

[Phil-1]

Gave mine a well deserved snow foam, 2 bucket wash and some QED
Need to do inside tomorrow

After the pain of a Kia Sportage hire car this week have driven mine quiet hard for the last couple of days and enjoyed every minute.....so with not much to do today decided to buy some more "products" and give her another clean..

 

[bluemoona3246]

Kerbed the wheel today, as I heard the sound I knew I had to fear for the worst

Ouch.....is one of the worse sounds you can ever hear....you have my sympathy @bluemoona3246

If it's not to bad you could always try a DIY refurb, some hints and tips here.

[Max-Robbo]

Finally got round to dipping the alloys black.. picked off the 4 rings on the centre cap with a toothpick for a bit of contrast!

Also de-badged while the MANY coats were drying..

Aaaaaand then my Missus did a better job
