Hi all !
Been on the forum a while now, Had my first S3 back in 2011 then went to a Mk5 R32 for a bit then decided to go S3 again hehe.. I had my reasons lol.
Bought this S3 with the front mount, custom turbo back and stage 2 revo map already installed. 272bhp
Since then I have done a fair amount to try and get it to a place where I'm happy with it. As follows ☺.
- Replaced front wishbone bushes for polys
- Replaced rear arm bushes for polys
- Removed old crashy fk coilovers and fitted AP coilovers
- Fitted 4 pot Brembo calipers and larger front discs
- Replaced both ball joints
- Replaced tie bars
- Mk4 R32 rear arb fitted
- Changed rear tailpipe to larger twin
- Removed rear seats etc to lighten a bit
- Fitted larger air filter Ramair
- Fitted inlet plenum spacer
- Sprayed all grey plastics black
- Sprayed inside of headlamps black
- Repaired boost gauge
- Repaired vacuum lines under inlet as split etc
- Fitted 18s bbs ch with new rubber! 8j front 9j rear
- Sprayedcharge pipe and plenum with black crinkle paint
I've probably missed things but here's a few pics of before and after,
Future plans are to get more ponies! around the 350 to 400 mark so some engjne work will be up next ☺
Any thoughts welcome
