    Cost and how realistic to have a TDi put into my 1.8T?!

    Stick the V10 in the boot and make it a mid range 4wd beast. now that would be interesting.

    cam belt gone at 2000rpm

    That was the first thing I changed on my motor. Mine had only done 40k but was coming up to 6 years old so did it as a precaution. Good luck getting it fixed. Can't beleive a garage told you 105k. I bet it hasn't been changed since new. I thought it was 40k/60k miles or 6 years, so a...

    My new ride

    Well Diesel for a start and RWD. I like getting 40mpg rather than 25mpg in the S3 and spending best part of £60 every week. Car was knocking on, just coming round to 7 yr old and 60k on clock. road tax is going to be over 400 next year on the S3. I'd owned and thrashed it for 18 months and...

    My new ride

    Haven't posted on here for a while so I thought I'd share photo's of my new motor. Its a 55plate 330cd M Sport with 32,000 miles. Obviously the usual refinements but has the following options on it: Heated black leather Sat Nav with Digital freeview Harmon Kardon hifi. I'm loving the car...

    Revo or Custom-Code

    Go for a custom map. Star performance in Scotland should be able to help you out. From now on all I'd ever buy is a custom map rather than generic

    how low should i go?

    can't remember but think max is something like 25-30mm Maximum for the FSD's. I'd be tempted to buy H&R springs and leave shocks alone or go for Coilovers. Jason (Voorhees) will confirm whether tie bars are needed with that setup. Cost is circa £300 for tie bars and then setup costs aswell...

    how low should i go?

    Can't beleive you want to change the setup already Neil. i thought it was pretty good - being my old motor and that. I think if you were to change it i'd go Bilstein coilovers and rear tie bars. whatever you do to lower the car more will cost a few extra quid as it doesn't have rear ties at...

    My new toy!

    looks good mate. Make sure you keep it well locked up, preferably in fort knox. Quads are notorious for disappearing. Oh and make sure you wear a helmet on the road, I live in Bradford and see loads of people flying around on these just wearing bandanas!!
