Been a while since i have checked up on this (forgive me). Still looking fresh as ever.

I have been neglecting this, but in my defense nothing exciting has been happening. I have been going through some rough s**t personally and just been using the car as an escape. I took a day off work a couple weeks ago and hit the road. I found one of the best driving roads i think i have ever...

I was doing quotes myself a few weeks ago as i was looking at one of these. For me with a really good driving history etc it was still like 2/2.5k and i just can't justify that anymore lol. Think my second car was a Civic and that was 3.5kish. Where abouts in Luton you from?

Love these, Carbon Black? Whats the plans for it?

Highly recommended and for £120 you can't go wrong! I want to do their full 3 day training course but its like £1600 lol. Maybe one day. Well worth the trip for a car fan.

You are quite brave then if you are not clued up on Honda's to be jumping in at the deep end haha. Myself and a few others can help, most of my car life has been in and around old Hondas ha. Ricky at Rectech is alright so hopefully shouldn't have any issues. I probably wouldn't run it on high...

Yer lets hope so lol be a shame to let it blow! What management has it got and who mapped it? Whats the arches like lol.

Good to see some aerodecks still going rather than being broken for the c4 lump. I recognize the Little Brickhill petrol station as well! Is it on stock internals? Running pretty much on the limit of what a stock block can take.

Even more...

So nothing exciting on the car, but a trip to the Lotus factory at the weekend. It was a treat for my mates bday, so we drove to Hethel in Norfolk where the factory is based. Once we arrived we were greeted by a Lotus representative who directed us to the clubhouse in front of the track. Taken...

Thanks, i would advise getting a facelift if possilbe as it has the better Haldex clutch and updated headlights with drls and better interior etc. Either way its a nice car and good all rounder. My stereo is the Bose with the RNS-E Navigation Plus and its very nice, haven't had any issues with...

So then a slight update nothing fancy for now...Really wanted cruise control and it was annoying the original buyer didn't spec it. A dig around on audi-sport.net (i know right, where do they get these names from?!) and i had a well known, reputable guy order the parts required for me from Audi...

Keith where did you get it set up? If the car is going on track then PMS ARB and solid mounts etc if it's just a road car then that might be a bit extreme. The whiteline i probably a bit softer and OEM mounts ftw ha.

Lovely looking as always. Wants a PMS shifter for mine, but then i got rid lol.

Good to hear things are on the up for you, jobs can make a huge difference on all aspects of your life so it's important to be happy. I hate my job because of the f***s that work there, however i will be leaving next week so its all good. Didn't realise you were up Tamworth way, i was there the...

Yer i know what you mean, it is down to personal preference. The stock system sounds pretty good, just depends on what exhaust you get.

Yer the 2015 model is the 8V so next one up from mine, i did look at them, but thought better of it. Yer it's a great sleeper and a great all rounder. I did rotate the wheels at the weekend and they don't have make a racket now! Need them to wear in otherwise i will just have to swap them back...

So yesterday the car went to Auto Doctors which is run by my friend Stewart to have all the work below done. * Engine oil & filter * Spark plugs * Air filter * Pollen filter * Fuel filter * DSG oil & filter * Haldex oil & filter * Brake fluid * Fuel pump cam follower Think that is everything...

Can't really add much onto this, echoing what everyone else is saying. Lovely car, lovely pictures and words. Fancy doing something similar with mine haha.

Yer you are right it is pretty boring/soul less, but it is growing on me slowly. I think when it gets a bit more noise and speed under the bonnet it will bring out some more character. Why did you get rid? At the end of the day i buy cars to suit me, i have learnt to just do what i want lol...

Haha i knew you wouldn't approve haha. The way i saw it i could of imported the Chaser or bought something else, but i need a package really. A car that does all things well. While i wanted a MK7 Golf R it was out of budget and i was a bit underwhelmed when i drove it. The S3 to me is the next...

When you take your foot off the throttle it stops the boost going back through the turbo etc. It's a common weak point on these TFSI engines and as such is classed as a serviceable item. I have replaced it with an uprated part so it will never need changing again and is more responsive. There...

So with the the new job and reduced commute i could afford to run something different. The Clio has a deposit on it and due for collection this evening. It's a Audi S3 8P facelift, i must say i do love this car way more than i thought i would. It really is the complete package i wanted, quiet...

Thanks guys, few bits I missed off the ad but I encourage people to call me or view it first :) Saturday feels like years away, but I can't wait!!!

Went to Go Racing Motorsport in Aylesbury, the guy there is a ex BTCC engineer for Tim harvey ha. Right big news, it's official! The Clio is going up for sale today, put a deposit on a new car today and pick it up next week so standby for a new build thread. I have got a new job as well which i...

Been a while since I have updated this, I have had the car setup and it's great. A lot of grip and gives you more confidence in the car. Apart from that I have just been putting fuel in and having fun for now. I think the car will definitely be up for sale soon tho. Last week I drove a Golf R...

Was driving around Pool on Saturday and saw a RB 197 cup, anyone from here? Would of been around 2:30/3pm.

I really fancy a set of those seats, but i don't think they would be that comfy for longer journeys.
