    Mesa's 2009 Misano Red S3 S-tronic

    Right, just a quick update on the whole wheel/tyre and geometry issue, but first a quick update (cue wobbly fade transition) Ordered wheel and tyre package from Wheelbase Alloys. Were fitted the same time Revo Stage 2+ and three days later the car went into KwikFit to go on their hunter...

    Mesa's 2009 Misano Red S3 S-tronic

    I've just spent the morning changing wheels over instead of spending it with my mum (and it's her birthday). Two valves leaking air. Supplied like this. As kwikfit didn't even check pressures it wasn't them. Was supplied new like that. Flush valves. Getting fed up of the whole wheel tyre...

    The tyres came supplied at 20psi. Won't go into it whilst I've got a dispute with them but their website clearly states the wheels and tyres will be supplied ready to fit straight to your vehicle. So as far as I'm concerned they've been negligent in care. Also kwickfit should have tested tyre...

    Mesa's 2009 Misano Red S3 S-tronic

    Ok not happy. I feel half ****** off and half embarrassed. Tyre pressure were all very low. When pumping them up massive egg in one of the inner sidewalls like dangerous. My fault for not checking pressure. Garage who put them on should have checked. Kwickfit who ran a full geometry check...

    Mesa's 2009 Misano Red S3 S-tronic

    Right so I'm sat in Demon Tweeks after Kwickfit destroyed my geometry and tracking. I know I know...Kwickfit. I foolishly thought because they've got the latest Hunter system it's fool proof. After they adjusted it the car is dangerous. I had to nurse it home 40miles with a serious pull to...

    wheel bolt woes.....

    I agree, but they should make an anodised set which includes a locking one (or four).

    Thanks for the link. I've found these before but there's no locking option.

    wheel bolt woes.....

    I'm resurrecting this thread so no-one can accuse me of not using the search. These are fine but they don't work with a rounded or unusual locking pattern so be careful when ordering a set (like me who did only to realise they won't cover the locking nut). Does anyone else have any...

    Thanks Alex, back at you....seriously impressed and somewhat inspired by your thread. I'll try to get a proper photo shoot in soon, once cleaned up and in the right location with the right space and time.

    Time for a build thread....big turbo

    Gotta love these communities. I've been guilty of using audi-sport as a reference for info without putting anything back. On of the reasons for starting my own thread. And whilst I won't get to the same levels as you it all adds to the richness of info for people to chew on and digest. Good...

    Time for a build thread....big turbo

    Seriously, seriously impressed and inspired by this thread. Tons of massive info, should be pinned for anyone looking to get big power out their 8P. I've not even read it properly yet but I'll be reading this start to end as it's so useful if you're looking at getting more than 360ish. Top...

    Mesa's 2009 Misano Red S3 S-tronic

    Yea interesting guys I didn't want to bother or worry or mess with an SPS switch because I know the car's pretty tight on the tuning "tolerances" and didn't want a small change to cascade to a big impact. I had anSPS on my first 8l and tbh thought unless you knew what you were doing was more...

    Mesa's 2009 Misano Red S3 S-tronic

    A question of taste but thought it might be nice to ask some opinions. Silver/Black/Red? I'm edging towards black after thinking red. Not silver. That red's probably too shiny bit of a PS fail.

    Mesa's 2009 Misano Red S3 S-tronic

    Initial Impressions So initial impressions are awesome. The power is immense and the car pulls like a train right through the range right to the red (although it never feels like it needs to get near the red line to keep the power pushing you into your seat). I'll try to go through some of my...
