Nice enough when not being wound up. Liked to keyboard warrior it up, still does on AS.net.
True.
Yep. But when you're a newbie, you don't see that, you just see the first things that come up.
As above, Dan - not sure how you managed that. I've had the rears on for >20k and they now need...
Lol Ant.
TomSx - what a coincidence. Have you met Jardo (internet "met")? He's on here as well...

Bunch of poofs. Driven not detailed, y0! For £200 you could get half a cambelt change RyG! Or most of an oil/filter/pick up pipe change! Or... wait... :(
That's a winner buddy! Nice!
Next is springs and the rARB, yes. Then likely DP and TBE, followed by a FMIC I think. Even if I don't map to suit, it'll keep the horsepower constant rather than heat soaked from the SMICs.
Interesting, but too late me thinks Dan. I've got Contis all round as...
I'm looking at it as running it into the ground. I don't see the point in changing it. Devil you know etc. And I'd never get the enjoyment out of a Z4MR/Porsche as they're less usable day to day.
So then. That's almost £1500 in mods, preventative maintenance and general maintenance this month/week.
Contisport 5 x2
Cambelt change
Oil change and OPUP/filter change
Brembos + Ds2500 pads + ATE Super Blue fluid
Spacers
New Bosch DV (thanks Tom)
See, this is the thing. You read forums, you buy the s**t they suggest. You read later posts (bearing in mind my S3 is four years into my ownership) and they change their minds. The standard thing to do for a bit more power on the S3 was 007P, Custom Code and Green Cotton PF... And then you get...
Lol, makes sense. Out of interest, could you send me a link? There's talk of how much the 007Ps leak, hence the 008P release. Tempted to just return it to standard and sell the 007P. Most will just pick it up on eBay and should make the money back for the new N version.
edit - yeah, I've heard...
I've been told on 250+ cars it'll liven up the DV action, so better boost offboost boost reactions. Mine does suffer a little, for example if I launch and the car in front doesn't go quite as quickly as expected, foot off, then back on again, it's a little slower to come back on boost.
Sod...
Sorry, meant the N249 bypass for BAMs. Also planning the Catch Can but as and when. Audi Sporters don't seem to have a definitive answer on the best thing to buy and of course, all of the modding "leaders" fab their own as they know Bill@Badger5 etc...
Need to work out if the LCR pads are the same as Brembo Junior GT pads now, so I can order up some DS2500s, as well as get some more ATE Super Blue fluid.
Few updates - car needs the cambelt doing, so booked in for next weekend. Also needed two new rear tyres, so ContiSports5 going on the front this weekend with the fronts to the back.
Clean as always.
And then got a little silly, after catching the modding bug again after a recent trip to...
