Tempted by anything like Zircotec ceramic heat shielding coatings, or just leave it as is (would be a shame to ruin the finish really)?
Do you have to use a heat resistant gasket on that to reduce heat transfer? (Sorry, so many questions!)
from a monster to a beast .. loving the progress mate.. always pushing the boundaries just awesome simply; far more than i can say about my build... have no transmission specialist to do my box no more
Awesome news
Cant wait to see it installed.
Any ETA on the installation ?
Hi there...I'm really sorry to hear that...what's happened?
well he has a few DSG and 02Q boxes along with an S4 RS4 and RS6 box to do which he hasn't delivered for over 8 months, and he isnt answering the phone either so the workshop and i are going for an injunction.. first step is a letter of demand.. then there might be another place but at the extra cost of a grand AU $$ of course ****** me right off as no work has yet been done look the same the day i dropped it off which is june 20th 2013
on another note are you gonna get some cams done at all ?
Oh my days what a absolute awesome read.
I've spent about 4.5/5 hours of my day (at work) reading this build thread and WOW! Such a awesome interesting informative read! Mental! Unreal how strong these 2.0tfsi engines are!
Given the other mods you've done I'd say do it. If you have rear seats it always encourages random people to ask for lifts, then they just scuff your sills, slam the doors and leave a load of crap and debris in your rear footwells. Nothing a good bus ride wouldn't cure. If it's in budget it's easier HP than many mods. Weight is the enemy!
Awww bless him, you should always have roof for man's best friend!
My regular passenger (and ballast) likes to redirect the sat nav; to think I wasted all that $$$ on Nav Plus when the better half clearly has inbuilt GPS and can see into the future... Proves I'm an idiot!
Don't be going topless on a hot summers day in those!
3kgs; that's just f*****g bonkers! I'm not even going to ask how much.
Having an unhealthy love of carbon bike bits (Just paid 200 sheets for a pithy carbon seatpost), I can only begin to imagine. Friend! I'm not sure you can call a man a friend when he brazenly makes attempts to empty your wallet with each interation ;-)
Just think how you'd stick to them without any aircon in the summer!
Waiting in anticipation to see if an alcantara / suede set arrive then (in silver / black)
And I thought there was a recession in Greece!

LMAO me thinks Alex has got a pay rise lol, nice to see this rolling again Al
God, OT I know, but I stripped a very nice ladies car of the fuel pump, follower etc & the follower was holy as such, such a bad state, you wouldn't believe it, fuel pump end was worn down at an angle & the cam was tbh fecked, so replaced the pump/follower to get the car running & now its at audi for the cam, unreal state, no wonder it was running so bad, amongst numerous other issues, like dv screwed, charcoal goosed, few other sensors/valve parts, how Stoke Audi could let the car become so bad is beyond me, her cars been suffering from so many issues since 2008, I was shocked.
Headlights were flickering on/off which looks to be D1S's goosed, rear wiper motor, but I was truly shocked to see how bad that bucket was knackered/worn through.
Only issue is now, because the cam profile is way gone, it cuts boost when full tilt as no expected fuel pressure, tomorrow when cams done I hope it is fully working now so I can do the tech side on the car, but the dv change made a massive difference, took a while as 4wd & being an A3, its in an awkward place unlike the S3 but it flew afterwards.
I look forward to driving it tomorrow/Friday with new cam etc.
Yeah its been very badly maintained & she has been taken advantage of, poor soul, but she's running better now, just waiting for audi now then I can test the girl out for all the issues, the car that is
