Best avoid buying any liquid yellow R26's from car dealers for the next few months then lol

Its french, & turbo'd? Recipe for disaster lol. Gutted to hear this though Tim, guess that means you can whack a bigger turbo on though i guess?

Just fit a scooby bonnet vent & fit it direct above the ITB's - someone did it years ago, possibly 'Jimbo' or James Gould back in circa 2002 on a china blue gti.

Lol, must admit, i spent 20 mins playing with a 5 yesterday and i really didnt feel any desire to spend an extra £400 over my 4!!! Mind you, i only use it it for calling, texting, emailing & tapatalk, nowt else. IOS6 seems to have a few glitches on 4 as well, so wont be installing that quite...

Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement! Love driving. Quite looking forwards to having up 50% going to the rear wheels in the Golf though ;)

Malwarebytes to get rid of it, then Spybot & Spywareblaster to stop it happening again. Will make your p**n surfing much safer.

For £12k you could buy a very nice mk2 TT V6 ;)

lol, my miley Trophy has more bhp than his shed. Perhaps i should enter it in Tin Tops as it is?

Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement! lol, i used to have yours as the screen saver on my laptop!!

Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement! lol, thats why mine is still sat out in the car park gathering dust. Need to be cool on the internetz :o

The little black stickers are missing from the bumper. They are below the headlights, at the end of the 'insert' in the middle of the bumper. No stickers = respray.

Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement! What kind of circumstances dictate a change from a modified Clio, to a modified TT, with tints & a loud exhaust? Just admit that you fancied a change, or the Trophy was f*cked lol ... Will look lovely, without tints, & the wheels...

Looks nice, but id be a little concerned about being that low on just springs (?!), surely the dampers wont be working properly, ie too compressed/hitting the bump stops all the time etc.

Its not that horrific really, its just the car seems to have a much smaller tank than a 3 series, so a 400 mile range as with a 330i is simply not gonna happen. Mind you, that means that it only takes £70 to fill up instead of £90 or so, but yes, looks 1 billion times better without the tints...

I just buy it off ebay.

Just checked that link for the Brembos - thats £88 per disc! So i actually got the OEM parts cheaper from VW ;) Yeah LL isnt as bad as everyone thinks in my opinion. No one moans when a BMW only needs servicing every 18k, but a VAG at 20k. OMG the world is going to catch fire and burn all the...

Just watched the video - gotta say im simply chuffed for you James, great result, & what looks to be a really fun race!! Bar the fumes of course lol

Most probably! I left mine like that for 6 months as i liked the feeling of 'sideways' lol ...

I sold them for £850 and spent the money on track days & Bimarcos instead ... Priorities ;) These ones are comfier anyway due to the lumbar support!!

I didnt pay anywhere near £300 lol.

Its probably on the original tyres it was sold with tbh. I know that if i was simply going to part-ex my car and get bummed on the value i certainly wouldnt be buying new tyres & brakes lol. I would have whipped the Recaros out as well mind ... Also, by putting a deposit down already, you have...

No, they've got the Recaro>Clio Ph2 adapters from Capital Seating on them. Not particularly cheap iirc.

Ha ha, fair point!! Although i do love the R32, does everything i need at the moment really. Auto for the commute, paddles for when i want to push on a bit and a s3xy noise and smoothness all the time. Win Win really except maybe the mpg, but i knew it would be average at best tbh, 28.6mpg...

lol, he'll never sell it, they buy cars and run them forever!! His old (immaculate) Audi 100 Turbo is still in the garage, & the Dutton Phaeton from his youth is in the garden underneath a flowerbed. Think he's had the A8 since it was 6 months old (so about 10 years) and Sarah mums TT 3.2...

Front discs & pads should have been circa £300, although i think its best you talk to Russ about any discounts available ... DSG is definately worth changing for peace of mind really - when was it done last? Haldex oil is easy enough as well if you buy the special tool! The A8 is Sarah's dad's...

Got round to a few bits & bobs this weekend, mostly fitting the box of goodies that i got from Russ ... Not exactly exciting stuff, but i need to note it all down somewhere as proof of evidence of my 'service history' :star: New front brakes, discs are rather large at 345mm, & stop the barge...

Whatever your budget, double it, then you'll be ok lol ...

Houx is generally so popular that all the people that stay there get priority booking each year, so we stayed in 2011 & 1st Tickets offered us the same place again for 2012 if we paid our £40 deposit each by Sept 1st. Same process for 2013, i just missed the cut-off as i was in Thailand for most...

Nah, ive reserved two numbered spaces & one un-numbered. The former are big enough for tent/gazebo etc, and the latter is where we may have to park the cars ...

Meh, sod that Ryan, you want to go home on the Monday, not the Saturday night ;) FailSport are going again as im currently in the process of booking it all. Houx is basically full already though lol ...
