Project S3 FUM build .

[MICHAEL PARKER]

ok , i have seen the super pro alloy wishbone kit for around £390 on the bay but not 100% sure what that actually gets you .

 

[-Ju-]

I fitted my whiteline alk yesterday. The hardest thing was getting the old ones off.
It does feel a little sharper on turn in, early days for a true evaluation but at this point I would say it's a worthwhile mod.
Also ordered the steering wheel today too

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

And so the fun continues

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

So off to AKS tomorrow
RS4 return valve
GFB DV+
H&R front and rear arbs
White line alk kit
R8 coil packs
Iridium spark plugs
All being fitted .

Is that a Spec Stage 3+ clutch?

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Just had a nice long walk and now sitting down having a sandwich whilst the AKS boys are working on my car , they seem a decent bunch of lads so hopefully all will go well

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Is that a Spec Stage 3+ clutch?

No it's stage 2+ buddy .

 

[Rob C]

No it's stage 2+ buddy .

Nice! Any chance of doing a mini review once fitted? Would be interested to know what it's like.

The AKS boys are going to fit it and the pro alloy on the 2nd August 8 days before the car goes to R tech for a full balls out stage 2+ map .

 

[Rob C]

Cool, it will be good to hear what you think of the clutch.

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Ok so home now and I must say a huge thanks to the AKS boys , everything I asked them to do has been done , the car feels great , a lot more planted and it's getting a very rapid car , spec stage 2+ and pro alloy intercooler being fitted on the 2nd August like I said and then off to R Tech on the 10th , by that time everything required for a high output map will have been done , the wmi kit will then go on at some point , coil overs and big brakes will follow and then next year a turbo swap .

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Oh yes I almost forgot , bought a plate yesterday as well .......


S3FUM
A little bit of electrical tape lol

Ahhh the memories of walking around there.. nice little park

Fully functional cut in , maybe not everyone's taste but my temp was averaging 90 degrees before and now around 83 degrees .

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

New plate on , front is being changed for a full size one though as some muppet has put holes in the grill and scratched the **** out of it

behind the plate before plus it also looks wrong not filling the whole apperture .

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Osir gaitor now on , a bit awkward to fit but looks good

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

A pair of beasts together , with my mates 380 bhp beast

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

My latest purchase

 

[S3Alex]

V nice,,,,,when you've finished with those,can you spare a bit of time to clean my dirty old car!

 

[prt57]

Crikey Michael,
There won't much of the original car left soon!

My better half keeps a log on what she thinks I spend and then expects the same amount in diamonds. Thank goodness a Loba pump and an APR remap only cost £99.00!!

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

It's a disease lol

Well back at AKS tomorrow , pro alloy intercooler and Spec stage 2 + clutch going in .

 

[prt57]

Good luck with this, we will be very interested to read your review of proceedings.
Nearly time for the trip to Hinkley!

 

[S3Alex]

Well back at AKS tomorrow , pro alloy intercooler and Spec stage 2 + clutch going in .

You know my opinion of the ProAlloy.

It's served me very well right the way up till now and even in hot weather,keeps inlet temps well under control.

I think you'll be pleased.

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Well here we go , round 2 @aks

 

[prt57]

That's a sizeable packed lunch, are you planning on being there all day!?

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Yes Peter , its around 9 hours labour , not that much in the box though tbh

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Just waiting for the pub to open now , going to chill out in there for a few hours as the weather is not the best today .

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

Car is being put back together , original clutch not badly worn at all but Alex said i am doing the right thing changing it . I think my car hates coming apart as they are having fun , Alex seems to take it all in his stride though

 

[MICHAEL PARKER]

My son has just sent me a pic of my splitter which has just arrived from Germany

 

[kash_v]
