^ thats the problem with a fixed height kit - you can't tweak it to suit your setup. Coilovers get a bad rep as the vast majority of people buy crap like raceland/ jom / FK (granted marginally better, but not much) then complain about the rough ride. The only purpose these kind of kits serve is...

thats a great guide! thanks for sharing - I've actually got to pull that HU so its good to see what I'm going to be up against! Hope it goes smoothly!

These are 19's but the size of the wheel makes no odds to the 225/45 width. Pisstake by the look of that. Also the ET will be the key factor in fitting them - no idea of fitment without knowing the ET.

225 on a 9.5 is taking the **** a bit. Check tyrestretch.com for examples

If youre pulling the lot out you only need the iso converter for the molex's pictured in the middle, then you run all your cables from the 4 channel to each speaker / crossover if youre running comp's, the sub cables to the mono bloc then your RCA's from the boot to the HU - you only need 2x...

anti hijack iirc - same for the boot too on mine it won't pop if the engine is running.

agreed. IMO its the current 'neons under the car / in the washer jets' look.

clear / smoked side repeaters, de-badge and de-wiper, a set of AP's at a sensible height; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AP-Coilover-Suspension-Kit-Audi-A3-8L-1-6-1-8-1-8T-1-9TDi-FWD-09-96-/251589402500?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a93e59f84 someone was selling a set of eibach springs on ebay...

Helpful ; Not so helpful :laugh: The tyres are already fitted as I've previously stated, these were from a previous project. Im not really wanting to shell out another £500 to go up to a 225/45 if i can run these without any issues apart from them 'looking stupid'. :thumbs up:

Ive got a set of splits from a previous car that will fit, they have almost new yokohama parade spec 2 tyres…. But they're 205/40/17. Will this cause any issues with rolling radius etc or is it just that its a smaller width tyre, so marginally less grip than a 225 / 40 / 17 If its just the...

Looks pretty legit and should be a weapon once its fixed up! The noggy gang is growing in numbers :D

125hp wet nitrous kit &map = 350HP across a much wider power band. Sub £1000 for the lot. Not a 4 banger engine, makes 220 ftlbs from 2k revs, 270hp after a basic map, sounds infinitely better than a 1.8, Same if not better mpg - I've never got 43 mpg in my 8l, konig seats **** on the OE a3...

Cant tell if trolling or not?!

Sure is! 3 Dr mulberry highline with schrick 268's cams, schrick VGi, coils and splits :thumbs up:

The gamble of buying a fixed drop kit - risk of reverse rake :S Could you not get just a set of front springs with a lower rating to resolve it IE if this is a 50mm kit get some 60's just for the fronts?

GTB1756vk Turbo, FMIC and a map will make you 230+hp and 350ft/lbs all day long

I managed to get a couple of bits done over the weekend mainly for a freshen up. Fitted my Pressed plates and schmidt peine plate holder. I didn't have time to clay it but i did hit it with a coat of zymol which made the paint pop! I also got around to fitting the TT pedals I picked up off...

So I've had the plugs swapped and given it a good check over. Synta platinum, filter, coolant check fluid checked, New brembo pads - didn't want to shell out for the ferodo DS2500's i couldn't believe the price of them! Also got round to fitting this…. 007P with yellow spring. Noticeably...

Car audi centre did cross my mind, i just wondered if anyone off the forum did it on the side / for a living. The only thing thats putting me off is i know its gonna be full interior out al the cards off and start from a blank canvas - Ive not got the space or the time as i can imagine it...
