Reply With QuoteLooking good Richard, 350 at the wheels is a nice round number to stop at haha.
I'd love a ride in the passenger seat by the way, you still heading out west all the time?

did a couple more minor upgrades to the car recently. looking forward to getting some time off soon to finish installing all the bits i have collected over the last few weeks. first up was a forge big knob i thought it might smooth out the quick shift...
its a quality piece of kit. not necessarily my first choice style wise but i struggled to get a bfi gear knob here in oz. this is to keep my mits warm during the winter...
pretty easy to install and i forgot to take a before photo so its straight to the after shot...
and a bit closer up, i particularly like the engraved gear gate and s3 logo if you can see it...
next up was this bit of kit so i can listen to my iPhone without taking it out of my pocket...
not the perfect solution as you can only play 5 playlists or every song on your iPhone, it acts like a 6 disc cd changer...
finally i fitted a genuine audi cargo net to hold my battery booster / air compressor, car bra, umbrella and a couple of other bits...

no entirely sure my maths is correct on that but i plan on getting it on the rollers soon so i'll get a better idea...Originally Posted by jgribben
no worries on going for a spin, i'm meant to finish up on the 31st so i'll catch up with you after that. going out on a happy laps would be good as it's not that much fun on the road, its all boost and brakes...

haha I know that feeling even in mine. Yeah we'll tee up a lap or two at the next one...hopefully mine is up and running for it too.

after the last happy laps it was very aparent that the s3 was lacking in the handling department so i decided to upgrade the suspension. as it is a daily driver i didn't want anything too harsh, i read good things about the vwr gear so i picked up a set of street sport coilovers...
desperately trying to get them installed prior to next saturday's happy laps. so far I installed the rears over a couple of evenings this week. they took longer than i thought they would to install for some reason. i didn't have much room though so that probably didn't help...
rears are now fully installed and going to try and do the fronts over a couple of nights next week. fingers crossed...

If you struggled with the rears then the fronts will drive you insane....

yep, already figured that out. i'm really looking forward to it...

I'm surprised you thought it hard. It's no harder than the IC install.
Do you have the spreader for the front hub?

i didn't find the ic install easy to be honest. yep, got the spreader socket and triple square so good to go on the tool front I think...

by this point I was saying to myself, never again. then I realised I still had another side to do...
a quick reminder why cheap tools are no good, not for 200nm anyway...
and for future reference, I think I will need to go up to 22cm though once it's settled...
