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...

Say that again buddy? The spring in the new standard DVs is better? Or your Bailey is better? What's on the 240?

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...

Erm. Preferred the sunflower? Sorry!! Styling wise of course.

Cheers Ry but I've just spanked £££££ on the Panzer today in power and braking mods, so not sure a wax is going to get past the bank of boss lol!

Lol, that sounds so whorish!

Likewise? Didn't receive the 1l version, just the waxybox tester, so if I am one of the two above, probably not necessary to send out guys (although I won't complain at having 1l more of it - great on carpets and engine bays!!). edit - sorry guys, just re read - PM'd with the Dressle review link.

As above, mine live in the fridge.

Re: My new car. TTQS Nah, Haldex I'd leave to the pros as well fella. Piece of mind. Similar to what Scrooge said about the Cambelt. You/friends can do it, but it's nice having a receipt for things like that. Oil change/modifications like brakes on the other hand is another matter.

Re: My new car. TTQS Didn't you have a nail, though? Cam chain etc? I know they're known for stretching, which is what put me off and on to the S3.

Re: My new car. TTQS Nice! I love my armrest.

Re: My new car. TTQS The 1.8T react well to breathing mods, Alan. The main restrictions (and standard stages of tune) come in the form of; - front mount intercooler, to replace the two small and constricted side ones - 3" down pipe to the exhaust - 3" turbo intake pipe Even the exhaust is...

Re: My new car. TTQS And the rest. Mine hit 278 proven power through logging with just a standard map (255).

Interesting, Kev - I thought you were a 3M man, or is that more with the rotary?

At 1% dilution, it's pH 11. That's definitely not going to be good for your wheels. It looks like truck wash! But welcome to the forum all the same!

Yep. £4 buddy.

Re: My new car. TTQS Lovely sound but no ability to tune put me off. If I calmed down a bit, 8P 3.2lV6 is a must.

Re: My new car. TTQS Simple three, aux, timing and W/P. So no. £100 more + another £120 basically if I need those doing as well. The only consideration with AMD is that it's close to The Unit. So could drop off the car and go see the boys of a Saturday. Wonder if AMD will negotiate.

Re: My new car. TTQS TomSx, have you read the rest of the bits as well? Potential for £420 at their say so with other belts and tensioners...

Re: My new car. TTQS ORLY. Goes to check they do the same for S3s.

Re: My new car. TTQS Think so pal. Just priced up some options for cambelt and clutch, if you're interested; AMD Essex - £393.95 and £1k ish respectively!!!

Re: My new car. TTQS Yeah, no doubt buddy, re the Clio. Both would dial out some body roll, but you'd keep the under steer nature of the chassis, which is what I want to get rid of. Total came to about £35. Make certain it has "A" not "B" as that's a shorter, A4B5 version.

Re: My new car. TTQS Fair, very fair. I'll enquire. Haha! R32 chap. Don't need much more as it's not a track/all out fast road car. I think I really could do with a Clio. Something stupid, that's lowered, loud, stripped etc and use the Panzer for long journeys.

Re: My new car. TTQS You and Waitey should get together. You'd make a great couple, finishing each others sentences et al ;)

Re: My new car. TTQS Don't want to be a dick about this, so tell me to F off, but what can you fit? Pretty much anything? As think Cambelt is due, so planned to do cambelt, aux and new water pump with metal impeller!! Making a list of general stuff to upgrade/maintenance before modding. So...
