Yeah pretty much mate and the original purchase price to what I got it for is a massive saving for a car only doing 245 miles

 

[Stuart B]

Are you going to mess around with it?

Are you going to mess around with it?

I don’t think so mate I have full warranty until end of 2020 and to be honest on the road plenty fast enough and sounds real nice

 

[Stuart B]

You will constantly be hassled by other goubo1 car owners, wanting a race. Like you did to other rs3 owners in your s3.

Nice RS3

Thanks mate I couldn’t believe it when it came up at such low mileage

Just hit 1k miles today at work

When the warranty runs out fancy doing some tinkering on it ?

Well managed to get the car dropped into my mates work for the new oil cooler to be fitted

New front discs and pads I went for oem r32 discs as had trouble with the mtec discs again @Prawn I think is on the money when he he was saying about how these discs are put together and the aluminum bell and steel discs expanding at different rates.....I’ve went for rs14 pads ment to be as good as the rs29 pads until they get very warm like they would on track but work a tad better from cold so good compromise for the road so hope they work like I hope

Also new coil pack look getting spliced in and try get the exhaust moved a bit as seems to have relaxed and just slightly touching something

Will be good to get the old girl out a nice drive again soon

Yes I have mate with brackets the brackets just need bolts as needed to use them

Could you do me a massive favour I started rebuilding mine but didn’t pay attention to the different pistons on one side the pistons have a deeper centre bore than the other side but I don’t know which go on what side

Alright mate I peeked in to the box the calipers are in...they still have the pads in them so can’t see pistons ill digg tools out tomorrow and send pics

 

[Tj 0785]

Cheers appreciate it. Have the disc n pads got much wear on them ?

 

[Goubo1]

Not much mate to be honest mate and there is another set with 2k miles on them

 

[Tj 0785]

Right had a proper look mate

Above picture is deeper centre bore pistons and is at the side of the caliper mounting side

Above picture is of the outside of the caliper side that would be seen through the wheels and is the shallower center bore

You are a legend cheers

 

[Goubo1]

Not got to drive the car as much of late
But then I did get the chance to it was a rather cold day

Some pics I took that I found rather cool of the frost on the car


Then this one that if you know then you know and if you don’t it becomes apparent rather fast lol

Because I hadn’t drive the car for a while I had the tablet with me with torque app on just to look at coolant afr just to make sure things seem ok was in my lowest boost map and gave it a little squirt and seen the gauge going higher than I thought it should so backed off got home parked it up..next day went to have a look and see the number of the n75 valve to order a new one as I thought it was that but then I seen this

So trimmed the hose put it back on and made a note of this as one of the things to go on my regular checklist

Also gave the catch can a drain and took it back out and correct boost is back again...going to try get it into my mate who cleans cars to get the engine bay a little clean up

Nice to drive the old girl after driving a more modern car for a while

Good spot on the boost pipe.

Do you have lines to the top and bottom of your wastegate or just the bottom?

[Goubo1]

Had the car back at @badger5 for some work

Timing belt and water pump
New coil pack harness
Ignitron ecu
Few other odds and ends

Made 602bhp 472ftlbs similar power to before on slightly less boost

Map 1 its 463bhp 367ftlbs
Map 2 its 543bhp 432ftlbs
Map 3 its 602bhp 472ftlbs

On the road I haven't had it above map 1 but map one is very nice on the road just feels nice


Had the car out over the weekend giving it some use rather than just toddling about

Not posted in a loooooong time

The car sat idle for a while with price of fuel etc and running my mucj more economical 1.6tdi caddy van

The car has been back in use now for few weeks getting the odd run here and there (still not been in high boost)

The car needed some bits done that has been put off for a while due to it getting parked up
2 new rear calipers discs and pads
2 tack rod ends
4 new eagle f1 tyres


When you are sat looking out the window at the car having a Costa coffee after going for a Sunday morning hoon in mexico

Excuse the dirty Interior it will be getting a clean soon

 

[Goubo1]

Oil and filter change then a bit of a hoon later maybe

First time I’ve seen this thread pop up, impressive build!
