Who's car is it mate?? Lol
Love this car!!
nice pics mate, your fuel is expensive?!
Just had a quick read here mate, catch up on the thread as i've fell behind a bit...
Your car does sit so nice... I have the same ET wheels although they are OZs... I can't quite get it to sit as nice as yours... The rim protection on the wheels is the issue I think...
With it being on H&Rs its rubbing, especially with load in the back and have pretty much sealed their fate for me.. Making me really cringe, isn't enjoyable to drive at the moment
Got my hands on a genuine RS3 grill too.. Not updated my thread in ages as it takes ages to upload photos on my OS for some reason....
Muzza is selling his CKs.. I must confess, i'm not a lover as I feel they have been severely overdone.. However I cannot deny how great they look on your car.. So i'm considering getting rid of the OZ rims and helping Murray move his on... I'll need to see how the CK wheels are with rubbing too and the H&Rs might also get ditched for the Eibachs if they're the same... I want a nice running car and comfortable to the degree i'm not cringing everytime I see a bump.. Haha...
Sorry for massive reply, not spoke to yourself in a while, hope your good!
I am a fan of the CK's & CH's 19's make the difference though, cars looking good for the winter.
nice beard man!
Looks good mate. Cleaned my brakes up a year ago and finished them with a spray of lacquer and seems to be holding up well. How much did the caliper springs/clips set you back?
Swear this thing is never dirty, do you use it daily?
Can't renember the last time mine was clean like that
You've inspired me to get my clean on, next time the suns out pretty much doing what you have done there, refresh calipers, clean ducts, and detail the wheels get all that winter muck out.
Looking good mate.
Winter will soon be just a memory.
If you do go for the AP's,remember to order at least 6-8 weeks in advance from one of their agents.
I got mine from Circuit Supplies in Leighton Buzzard,and Questmead are also main dealers.
AP only supply to order,and have a very long lead time.....I was fortunate enough to find a set that had been ordered and not fitted,saving me about 6 weeks.
Thank's Alex very much appreciated as thats something I did not think about typical lol!
I am hoping Martin at Reyland motorsport can help me out as he seems to be the AP man in Ford scene so wish me luck lol sounds like i'm going to need it, No I don't really mind the wait if need be if anything I think its a good thing as shows the demand is high I really can not fault AP in the slightest
Thank's again mate
Hi Guys
A small update new Stickers and a clean oh and a new Diverter Valve the oe valve was perfect but for the cost of £40 I thought I change it as its 5 years old now and everything has been changed other than this lol
Really enjoying the late nights and summer with very little rain went to a car meet were German night and had a great time being the only S3 there was fun as it got so much attention
Few plans I fancy a wheel change so the BBS CK's might be up for sale soon and maybe buy a set of AP Brakes have them on the Bosworth and have been flawless.
Anyway a few pics......... Hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer
Cheers

Like you,I had APs on one of my Cosworths,and was very happy indeed.
In the case of these kits it's not so much that demand is high as that AP only build them to order,and keep no stock as such.
Alan at AP has always been helpful previously,and his team were again this time,but told me that they don't hold stock of the kits,although they were very helpful in finding me dealers to whom they had recently sold kits.
In my case cutting the time was almost essential as the calipers on my previous VWR kit were not repairable.
At least everything on an AP setup can be serviced.
Nice update and car looks good as ever. Where did you get the Quattro stickers?
Hi mate not sure if he still does them but will go find the link when i'm back in
Found some on eBay, cheers anyway
Tried the Ebay ones and total rubbish i'm afraid! But happy your sorted and I have inspired you
Take care mate
I got the CTS pipe ready to fit to mine, guess you mean where the CTS pipe meets the turbo? If you take the arch liner out of the wing and get it up on axle stands reckon it can be done, just fitted new intercooler like that.
