Lowered the S3 on H & R springs with Powerflex Antilift kit.
What’s the ride like? I hear the H&Rs can be a bit harsh....

Fitted my air vent boost gauge mod. Used a 2nd air vent off ebay and removed all the interior fins. Used the Turbosmart boost gauge and ran the vac line through the firewall behind the glovebox where the main wiring loom goes through.
Hooked it upto a forge boost tap on the PCV pipe that BCS fitted when they did my Powervalve exhaust and who very kindly gave me an extra tap adapter for it and some of their extra thick vac line. Easy job really. The only tricky bit was getting through the firewall.
It's a little brighter than the rest of the dash at night but not overly so and doesn't get distracting. Is brilliant though I love it.

Hey mate, was wondering if those grilles arrived yet. Kind of curious .
That’s my picture but not my post

Ah that's interesting. It's fine tbh, it looks brighter on the photos than it is in person. Cheers for the info though@phateuk You should be able to run a wire from the dimmer on the headlight switch, which should then dim the boost gauge in line with the rest of the dash. You'll need a wire tap and a resistor to complete the mod, more info here: https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/329779-Podi-install
Yup. Thanks for the kind words.
It was a bit surreal as the accident happened at 15MPH. I turned a tight corner into a road where cars were parked on both sides and had income traffic so decided to pull to left a bit and just my luck that someone had parked right in the corner with the back sticking out!
Way to go because we were on our way back to London from Wales and decided to stop over to our sister in law’s place in Birmingham.
I did the right thing, left and note, informed insurance etc. The owner of the car calls me later in the day, very surprised as apparently in Birmingham no one ever leaves a note and surprised that I let my insurance company know. Apparently in Birmingham that’s not a thing either. Turns out that her car (an Audi TT) wasn’t insured. Go figure.
Anyway it’s all done and dusted. You live and learn.
Beautiful
Any plans?

DM or whatapps me the details ? Price etcDude I was in the same boat so I priced up a new one from tps and it was cheaper than buying a second hand one from overseas. The 8V charging plate was a bit of a faf but well worth it
