I can cope with the hair dresser comments so let rip lads and ladies!
Loads of pics here if you want to just mooch
http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f159/Bikerzz/People slate the TT as a girls car, I say 90% have never been in one, nor do I mind this comment as I love the girlyness of it! However I have a big problem when people say they understeer and are too heavy? Really? Get in one then make that comment! Yes they are heavy and understeer but no where near like everyone makes out, you have to be doing really daft things on the road to notice or just launching into roundabouts far too fast (it is fun tho)! If you do this is shows up how planted and easy to drive fast the TT is without catching you off guard and putting you into a ditch!
If you know your TT's you will know they killed many many people when they were first reliased and they were a real drivers car. Audi lost their safety rep overnight and recalled alll the cars and changed
Supension Gyometry
Added Ballast Weight to rear
Added Rear Spoiler
Added ESP and Traction control (and you cant turn it fully off with button on dash) - You can via Vag tho
These things can of course be changed if you want to make it back into a drivers car
Shes a 2003 BAM Audi 225 Quatrro in Missano Red that is a really my weekend toy/track slag,brough as a standard car 2 years ago. Spec is HUGE but includes:
Engine:
Fully forged Eurospec engine
Forged Eurospec pistons 82.5mm
Eurospec con rods
Eurospec 14lb Billet crank with bolts
CNC big valve head. 1mm over sized valves - Flowed etc....
Raceware head kit
750cc injectors
RMR inlet manifold (Boss Racing)
80mm Throttle body - R32
Jabbasport Baffeld oil sump
Custom Down pipe
Custon exhaust system
Mocal Oil cooler - Yet to buy
Ali charge pipes etc
Forge Supersize recirculating dump valve
GT30 Hybrid by Owens (Largest compressor wheel of the 3 and the WRC Cartridge)
Top Mount Tubular Race Manifold

It makes about 545bhp
Now has
Garret Top mount manifold
GTX30R76 (Havent ordered yet)
Seperate Oil and Water coolers (Removed water jacket cooler)
Air-Con / Climate control removed including pipework and rad. (Over 70kg saved)
Pick up pump removed
In take 044 fuel pump added in custom cradle
Brake hardline rerouted - (Get too hot on bulk head with a BT there if you ask me)
This will probally make less peak power but should be far more reliable (larger flange will reduce EGT and allow less boost for same power)
QS Front bumper and grills
Oris carbon rear diffuser
Oris Carbon Spoiler
Buddy Club P1 wheels in 18 x 8.5 (6.7kg each lightest 18" alloys you can get before going Mag or Carbon) - After some light 17" wheels if I can fit over brakes which Im sure I can.
Porsche GT2 6 pot calipers upfront on Tarrox Disks and Pads, HEL braided stainless steel lines.
Battery relocated to wheel well
5 rear redrunning lights
5 brake lights
Symetrical rear lights
KW V2 coilovers
KW adjustable Tie Bars
Sparco Pole Positions FIA approved ( 7kg each)
Buddy Club 3" 5 point FIA harness (running as 4 points so dont worry ladies)

Tow hooks and brackets removed
Performance 4wd haldex

Probally loads more I have forgotten, anything please feel free to ask, I have LOADS of pics.
I need:
Vibratechnic Engine Mounts
Oil Cooler (Still trying to work out largest I can fit), Sandwich plate will be thermo-static.
GTX30R76 (Pretty important)
Dog bone (I have a uprated bush kit but uprated mount would be good)
17" wheels - Mate can supply me slicks in 17" cheap too!
Water Methanol kit (No idea which one yet) - Not vital to get car running tho
Toe straps/hooks. I removed standard ones and then last track day worried all day that if I got stuck in kitty litter they would wrap a rope round anything and rip her out, so now a feel a wally and need to sort somthing out.
Oil and Filter (he he)
Coolant
Map her!
Pics of when I got her
I soon added a Dynatwist Induction kit (added 9 bhp on back to back testing over a pipercorss in a stock airbox)
I then added a forge cat back exhaust system
Real Carbon ORIS spoiler! Yes they are a fotune, but sooo worth it!
Ballast weight out
Got my QS front end on (Bumper and the 3 grills from the LTD edition TT Quattro Sport) TT QS
Next was brakes. I was lucky enough to find a 500 mile GT2 smashed up at a breakers and brought:
These are 4 pots off the rear of a GT2 or GT3 996 911. They were going to be for the rear of the TT, but things have changed and I never fitted, so let me know if you fancy buying.
I also got the 6 pots for the front of the TT. These are now fitted and AMAZING! At a rescent trackday I was outbraking race TVR's on slicks (God knows how, as its all about tyres on the track really). They were amazed and came over after a few sessions to see what I was all about. I was coming in as I was overheating engine, and they were coming in as overheating brakes. he he
6 pot brembo calipers.
334mm Tarox disks (Yes they are small for a reason, getting 17" wheels over them)
HEL lines
Tarox Pads (Pricey as you like)
FK coilovers now. I brought these along with some KW adjustable tie bars. Anyone that knows about the mk1 quattro platform cars (R32, S3, TT) will know you need these when lowering to get rear camber back in as standard items allow so little adjustment.
FK go low for maximum scene points (needed them when you cant afford big power insurance yet )
Bollox, still to high
Adjustable Tie bars were added too
And what do we all do after a good lowering? ALLIGNMENT TIME
No 1.8T motor is complete without a 007 Forge Re-Circ Valve
GT3 seats - Didnt like and now have been sold
The reason for them comming out is this!
Recearo Pole Positions in Black leather and Black backs, along with ali Recearo runners. PERFECT! These came in the TT QS and are the best part of that car! They are supportive allow harnesses and weight only 7kg each with the runners (I have the light runners). The stock TT headted leather seats are 27kg each, so seats alone have saved me 40kg and seatbelts removed and harnesses have saved me a few more! I had a very back motorbike accident when I was younger and my back is *****, these seats are sooo much better for my back (belive it or not) so much so I dont think I will ever sell and will just move them from car to car! The seats and belts are in date stamp till 2014 (not that it bothers me)
They went in along with these:
Sparco Buddy Club 3" Harnesses
Money shot as they say
yes the arm rest was needed as I was on the way to the ring soon after
Those of you that are still reading and not just picture looking will notice A part stripped interior, well she was going through a change (less weight)
There we are, less weight, told you I was good!
Driving was a little awkward
Oh no wait there we are, I can drive like this
This is the reason for all this!
Saftey devices FIA approved cage! These came fitted by Audi on their TT QS track cars (if you brought a QS brand new you got a free day racing around in one on a track with this cage fitted. Its not that intrusive, just makes the car look the part. Its 27kg extra added, however its very noticable how much it has stiffened car up (infact unbelivibley how much it has). All TT owners that have got in have noticed this so cant just be me! Makes it easier to get rear end out thats for sure!
Engine needed some mods so she got
3" Tip
Dedaffled intake pipe & some blimg
N249 removed
