Total waste of a day working on the car...

Great, this is exactly the kind of picture I needed. This place sells from -4 up, so I think I'll be able to make a plan. Of course, the bit from IE that goes into the crank case still needs to be sourced, but hopefully I can make a plan to get one, or maybe I can even ask someone to fabricate one for me.

Top marks!

you do know Zas that they ship to the UK yeah ? i think you'll need the one for the oil filter and the cam breather its two adapters if not mistaken

Sorry Sevv, realised I didn't reply this morning. Yeah, Repco probably would, or Super Cheap Auto. I got mine from Auto one.

I'm in Darkest Africa, so the exchange rate (or lack of one) works against me, but I'll do the maths and see what the story is.

Currently the car's in the garage at home while I wait for all my goodies, think it's a good idea to cover up the turbo inlet? I was thinking it may just be a clever idea to put something over it to make sure nothing gets in there...

yeah mate.. if the car isnt being driven take the battery out but get the radio code first na dcover the wheel/ brakes so they dont rust...


by the way Zas if you look at Sam's thread he has the setup we have been wanting to do on our S3's its on page 3. it looks pretty nifty

Thanks dude, will take a look. Nice, sunny winter's day here so I think some backyarding is in order.

So my saga continues...

My 034 Motorsport parts arrived in the post yesterday, so I've started getting the engine bay prepped for all the new arrivals. Anyway, was taking the charge pipe off and noticed a weird, dark looking line on the exhaust manifold which, upon closer inspection, is a nice big crack.

Any recommendations for a decent replacement?

I also noticed the front left driveshaft's boot is broken, so I hope there's nothing lurking there...
