Well guys thought its time to do my progress thread as a lot has changed on the car since I got it and need to get it started before it gets outta hand... Try and give you a brief account of whats been happening with my car since I got it.....
Well most of you probably know me by now since i've been on this forum now for a while..
My names Jack, from Glasgow and have owned an Audi quattro for the past 4.5 yrs. the 1st 3.5yrs I spent with a A3 2.0Tfsi quattro and have owned my S3 since July'13.... Loved my Red A3, but always wanted the S3 and thought it was the time to get 1 with last summer coming up..
Done my searching and found a good example of what I was looking for...
2008 Sprint Blue Pre-facelift S3
56k on the clock...
FBMSW
RNS-E
Half leather/alcantara seats
Was considering buying 8P3, but my budget would have only stretched to keep it standard.. so it was either that or 8P2 with some modding money... Car is only used at evenings and weekends, is just my toy and felt at the time that 8P3 was a bit overkill.....
So it was that day to go and view my car.. Travelled from Glasgow to Grimsby by train to view and inspect the car and was glad that the car was everything the owner had claimed it to be, as I had only seen it in pics... Deal was done and the 5hr drive home was 1 of the best i've ever had... I've trawled the computer for pics of the car on the day I bought it but think excitement got the better of me and have none..
A bit more about me: I am not a professional car tuner, fabricator or indeed mechanic (I'm a data communications engineer and car enthusiast) I always like to take projects on myself and try to feel the pride of doing this... Its my car and I like to try make it my own....
Sorry in advance at the poor image quality of some of the pics, they were all took on various iphones and in varying weather conditions, so they are the best I have..
Enough writing, now its picture time!
So heres a couple of pics of the car and my old car not long after buying it....
So once I got the car it was time to get my hands on it and do some cosmetic touches to the car that was missing... Started with the Brakes, then went on to do the lighting upgrades....
Brakes went gloss Black with the hubs going Matt and the Number plate light and 8P2 DRL's were upgraded to LEDs......
Resistors had to be fitted to the engine bay to cancel any canbus errors from the new LED DRL's
