Nice! I bet that would easily push over 500bhp if you were chasing numbers

Will have to see if I can make it! Annoyingly i'll be going past combe the weekend before this to visit the other halfs granddad

Thank god for that, I was about to go through my lockers and workshop looking for it just in case it was sent down!

Aren't those XXR wheels pretty much bbs ch reps? Bbs will probably weigh less as well (and cost a lot more)

Soon! Expecting to see a turn key video early 2018 ;)

Big Al picked up the downpipe and exhaust parts today so shall be with nick tomorrow :) not the prettiest of welds, I'm a bit out of practice! But they're functional, everything is sealed up nicely and no big areas of burn through to ruin the flow

Hopefully I'll have it welded it up by the end of next week then look at getting back over to you :)

Still love when they sent me a damn galvanized steel joiner instead of the ali one I needed (and ordered) to weld into the rest of my ali boost pipes... I tried claiming back from ebay and they wormed their way out of it claiming they only claimed it was "alloy" and not aluminium alloy despite...

I think the are a few pictures of mine in the pictures of your 8l thread in the stickies, might have to go back a few pages though, haven't owned it for going on 18 months now.

Found the part number for you 8L0 071 126 and one for sale on gumtree https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-part-accessories/genuine-audi-a3-s3-8l-lockable-roof-rack-bar-8l0-071-126-/1249033917

There is a OEM roof rack for the 8L, I had one on mine for a good 2 years or so, can't fit a 7' 6" surfboard inside the car! Was nice and solid

Imagine how bad the car would handle with a 4.2 v8 sat up in front with only FWD... it would be like driving a cathedral

Metal is just metal! I'll grind them all flush then re-weld over them to give them a better looking "cap" and make sure everything is sealed. Should be able to touch up the inside where I can reach it as well

If you want the welding sorted on the dp give me a shout (y)

Am i right in thinking you're still around the SW kinda area? If so then let me know once you've got the jig all sorted, i'm sure i can lend some of my time to pop over and assist with the welding if need be. TIG welder qualified up to nuclear standards ;)

If you can find someone that will MOT your car without a cat then you might as well go for a decat, if that's a issue then stick a sports cat on.

Considering those compression readings it would be interesting to see how much power you make on a fresh engine build

Red S3 8L (S3 AEY i think) on the M11 earlier, was following for a while in my 1.2 litres of turbocharged fury in the form of a skoda yeti rental car

I can't wait to get a track toy so i can have some adventures like this. My a3 used to give me some jip with the boost pipes blowing off but the s4 is too reliable (at the moment) for any shenanigans. I'm buying my new house and the main thing I've told the missus is that it needs off road...

Forge ones require servicing every year approx £20 for a service kit. Can almost buy a new oem valve for that every year. And the oem one has been proven to work on high power used and abused cars
