This is my other Williams ,which I picked up a few years ago. Excuse the state of it, it is very dusty from being in storage. It doesn't need as much work as Duf, it only needs a new set of springs and shocks, as the current ones are so knackered, it's slammed on the deck, as it were. I...

If I was going more engine modifications I would mate, but to be honest it's pokey enough and id rather make the brakes and suspension as good as I can - and of course leaving it somewhere close to seeming standard will hopefully retain some value lol

Your original post came across that you were putting blame on the previous owner for not doing them up tight enough - If I got the wrong end of the stick there I apologise

It's not as common as you would believe on VW's Dan, Iv worked for the same VW garage for 8 years, and I have seen 2 that have failed due to the pump. IMO like a lot of things, you hear about the 1000 that have failed, but not the 300,00 that are still going lol. I will agree though that the...

..... last week, cut out and the guy heard some rattling noise There was also a hole in the block too, did a good job on that!

Its quite nice, just a bit flat at lower revs, but iv not been putting load on at low revs due to the pinking so it will be brilliant to drive it once iv had it mapped - think its worth having the timing tweaked to see if it can be any better mate? Iv been informed it is currently set to what...

Yup it's circuit motors mate, Paul's been RR'ing my cars for years :) it's good to see it's making respectible power compared to my old 172, it does go well but a tad flat at low revs - understandable now iv seen the afr's lol and bear in mind it is cammed too power will naturally be up a bit...

We Will have fun squeezing that in ;) lol

Bargain price that! They do range in price, once up together il probably start it around 4.2k and see where we go.

Cage is already in mate

As Fred says - you make it sound like the previous owner deliberately left them loose, i expect they simply didn't know how tight they should have been and did't do them tight enough and they have worked themselfs loose.

No one think this was actually meant sarcastically?

I just found the Sale Advert from the guy who had it before the chap I got it off (guy who part ex'd it with me only had it a short time): Audi S3 Quattro facelift model. 8 months MOT 3 months Tax Almost full service history with receipts for stuff that has been fixed/bought throughout the...

How cheap mate? Id buy one just for the noise

cheers dude :)

yup, R32 has the same. there are different versions of the Heldex system, as they improved it over the years too.

Apparently those wheels were stolen off it, so the ones were put on I have now, so I was told lol

basics are this Danny: The "center" diff uses computer controlled clutches.It uses the ABS system in reverse to detect wheel spin. VW call it EDL - electronic differential lock. VW have been using this for years. The center diff just sends power to the rear when the front diff cannot find...

Lol! Don't be silly mate, it is an odd thing! Basically, when you loose grip on any wheel, Voodoo happens and you regain grip x

Done sexy face x What do you mean matey?

Not suprised dude, was lovely that :) Wanna buy an S3? ;) x The picture makes it look better than it is lol, needs a good clean, interior is dirty, needs a few bits tidying up, but in VGC for an 11 year old car

sounds lovely

Flol yeah dude

Had this part ex'd in today. Is a 2001 S3 with exhaust, decat and air filter combo with a remap. Has a horrid black and yellow interior (including door cards) so i assume it's factory done as it still has the Factory Recaro's in. Goes very well, needs a bit of tidying but once it's been...

Well had Duf on the rollers this morning. Back on my local rollers, which ran my Ph1 172 over 5 odd years (With filter, exhaust and matched inlet combo) always came out between 170-173bhp. Duf came out with: Fly - 176 bhp Wheels - 149 bhp Torque - 140 lb ft Happy with that, bear in mind the...

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner As per my text, what a torque figure! Glad it's all up together dude x

Had it's pistons cleaned? So im guessing the head has been off for some reason? It could be an air leak from the head comign off, does it have a higher than normal idle?

On my local rollers tomorrow morning, so il post up how I get on. Exhaust manifold is blowing like hell on the downpipe join, and the chip is wrong for the cams so im not expecting big numbers, more to make sure it's not causing itself any damage, as I think it may be pinking slightly under...

Stroud to Combe in ten mins?! Im impressed ;)

Looks a lovely example Ian :)
