    Frenchmans TT Clubsport build.

    Thanks guys, onwards and upwards. I was hoping to to not have to do the wheels until the winter but I've simply brought that forward. I didn't want to have to go through insurance to fix it, especially if I can sort it myself. It is just a shame that my first few weeks of ownership were...

    If only I'd have caught them.... I'm looking into fitting CCTV now. That, or moving to America where guns are usually a suitable deterrent. Tyre wise, I will probably go for either Federal 595RSR or Nankang NS2R. I had the Federals on the Volvo and they were pretty impressive. After doing 3...

    Frenchmans TT Clubsport build.

    Thank you for the kind words guys. I've had the car about 3 weeks now and have had a good poke around it. I was thrown a curveball a week into ownership. Get ready for it..... I went to let my electrician in and was greeted with this!!! How I didn't blow my top, I will never know...

    Frenchmans TT Clubsport build.

    Thanks buddy, TT is pretty tidy. Needs a bit of work to make it right. Lots of plans but just focussing on the little details first. First up is to remove the K&N filter and Forge Split R. Foul thing! General N249 delete, Sai removal and a proper service along with bushes and geometry before...

    Frenchmans TT Clubsport build.

    I enjoyed driving our Z4 more than the Volvo. The time came and the Volvo and Z4 were both sold. I loved the BMW but parts were more expensive and it was the right time for it to go. The replacement was to be a really nice fun, sporty car for the weekends which wasn't too expensive to run...

    Frenchmans TT Clubsport build.

    Hi eveyone, I thought I'd start a thread to follow the progress on my new TT225. I know it's not an 8L car but the TT section on the forum is weak and I have some history with A3's and this is basically an S3 underneath :P First a little background on some of my previous cars and how I...

    Frenchmans A3 daily/ track all rounder

    Wow, it's been a loooong time since I posted in here. Only minor improvements to the car this time. I've replaced the subframe bushes for some 034 Motorsport items to tighten the steering up a touch. They have made quite a significant improvement, how much over standard ones I won't...

    Frenchmans A3 daily/ track all rounder

    Not really an update, just more of a check in :p Car is still doing me proud but does need some tlc after the winter. It needs a little bit of paint, which I'll do myself, an array of bushes etc and that ****** front mount I've been meaning to buy for months now! I'll take a week off work in a...

    Looking to see if anybody recognise S3 FKU to see if the owners on here?

    I remember your old man printing pictures of this car and laminating them. He also has a red S3 fetish :p

    Another 8L Track Car - Lets get ready to 'Ruuuuuuuumble'!

    Car is gonna be good ;) Had a quick browse through that big turbo thread and didn't spot any alarm bells. Turbo appeared to be balanced etc and lasted several thousand miles. Couldn't find any figures however. Will be watching this very closely.

    South west to ADI Convoy

    I'm not sure where I will be meeting you guys now. I'm leaving from Plymouth now due to work commitments but still have to pull off @ Burnham-On-Sea (before Gordano) to pick up a Torque wrench, Jack etc for my track wheels. May convoy up with you Scott until Taunton and then motor on so I'm...

    Frenchmans A3 daily/ track all rounder

    Cheers buddy. Forte make a lot of additives such as engine flushes etc. They gearbox conditioner is meant to condition seals and generally improve lubricity in the box. Less friction means less heat which can't be a bad thing. My old man swears by the stuff and uses it on all his customers...

    Frenchmans A3 daily/ track all rounder

    Not a massive update for you guys but I did give the car a bit of TLC in preparation for ADI next weekend. Seeing as my centrebox had no baffle in it due to it rattling about and driving Prawn mental in his ownership I replaced it with a jetex straight pipe. Salvaged the important bits...

    Audi Driver's International - 13th October 2012 - ***Official Thread***

    Will any of the mods have any Audi-Sport stickers with them? I don't have any on the car and it just doesn't seem right to not represent when I'm on the stand :p

    Quite impressed (Leeds to Scarborough MPG)

    I'm always impressed with my fuel economy if I'm careful. Fitting cruise control is definitely on my to do list. I can't help but think that it will make my fuel economy consistent and will pay for itself pretty quickly too :) Best I got was a genuine 39 to the gallon brim to brim on a long run.
