    Nano grey S1

    I'm also not a fan of the plastic backs on the sport seats. I have the full leather standard seats which I quite like.

    S1 noise

    Had the same thing. Was the wheel bearing. But depends on the sound of your "funny sound"

    S1, magnetic ride or not?

    In removing my shocks I did not find a motor on top. The wires get plugged directly into the top of the shaft of the shock. The 2 small pins are recessed into the shaft a bit. So I would have thought is uses electromagnet rather then adjuster knob

    Intercooler EVO 1 ebay

    I did a bit of reading on the golf forums and the magic and majesty intercoolers have been tested and used by many with good results. So I decided to get one for my S1. Was packaged very well and intercooler looked high quality. It has cast alloy ends which does make it heavier then stock. I...

    Hey, I have ordered a EVO 1 intercooler and should arrive tomorrow. I'll let you know what its like. I was thinking along the same lines as you that it looks identical to the others so might be made in the same factory.

    Yeah, it's the same. I ordered A1 painted mirror covers for my side mirrors and they were the same as the ones on my S1.

    4H-Tech Short Shifter

    I just received all new bushes and linkages which I found on eBay and installed them. Way less slop in the gear shift and it feels way smoother. When installing the Short shifter I noticed some of the rubber had compressed leaving some slop and the sliding shoe was a bit loose.

    Suspension warning light

    I just installed H&R springs in my car last weekend. Although I didn't get a suspension warning light I did get a tire pressure message. Updating this fixed my issue. But in your case, I would check to make sure the plugs were correctly installed into the front shocks and the cable didn't...

    4H-Tech Short Shifter

    I didn't actually find the short shifter made the throws heavier, maybe due to the counterweight being a different size to the original. But good tips about shimming etc

    Exhaust with black tips

    Mine were really tight. I was able to get a screwdriver in between the exhaust and the tip and start prying it off. The tip is quite sturdy so don't worry about bending it. At the same time pulling it side to side walking it off.

    4H-Tech Short Shifter

    Yeah I also didnt mind it but as I got this as a hobby car I plan to slowly work on it making a few changes here and there. I thought this was a good first step as no tuning required to reap the benefits. But I'm very pleased with the result and prefer how it drives now. I asked APR if...

    4H-Tech Short Shifter

    I just did the first mod to my S1 today by installing a 4H-Tech short shifter. Its very simple and only takes 15mins The end result is very nice. The amount of throw is how it should have been from the factory. Nice and short but still easy to find the gears. I also found its very simple to...
