Very nice ed30!

How did you find it on the launch strip? I had mine remapped a few weeks back to 246 but now when I put my foot down to launch in 1st it spins, any tips?!

S3 Brakes by Robert Burgazzi, on Flickr

Had these fitted over the weekend.

They're the same as the Golf R and Audi S3 8v. Much much better over standard, i have so much more confidence in the car!

Did you change the calipers and lines yourself? If so how did it go, straight forward? Looking into this myself at the moment.

@Shoduchi @AJP - I actually like it with the black plaque, i think it breaks it up a bit.

@djnibz - Launching at Santa Pod and launching on the roads are two completely different things. The strip at Santa Pod is glued and prepared to ensure cars can have the best possible start.... the roads aren't. If I plant my foot or launch on normal roads mine spins in 1st, 2nd and 3rd! I do have 100bhp more though...   :P

@Martk19871 - Me and a friend did it at his garage. Straight forward enough, old ones off and then new ones on. Using the same carrier bolts and hoses as my originals. I couldn't use the S3 backing plates though as they didn't fit. If you want them i suggest getting MK5 R32 ones!

Cars coming together nicely mate! Brakes look awesome behind the wheel, I like the black and red combo too! Keep up the good work!

Hey everyone,

Still here, still going strong and just ticked over 100k.

Nothing much in the way of modifications;
Changed the H&R Springs for a full VW Racing Shock/Spring Set.
Audi TTS 340mm Mtec J Hooked Disks with Ferodo DS2500 Pads up front.
S3 Disk/Caliper Setup with OEM Disks/Pads on the rear
Open Grill Fog Surrounds

Maintainance;
The following was completed by me and a pal (Most of it was my pal!) at around 98k.
Genuine VW/Audi Cambelt Kit, Waterpump and Timing Chain Kit.
TTS HPFP (Due to breaking the sensor on mine)
NGK BKR7EIX Plugs and R8 Coilpacks
Oil Pickup Pipe changed and sump cleaned
Fresh Millers Oil
DSG Service
4x Michelin PS4's


I've just got back from a trip to Nurburgring - It was absolutely awesome and the car was spot on! I managed 3 laps and also a stint around the Grand Prix Circuit... this is 100% going to be an annual trip with plans on making the car more solid for my next trip...

Now for a couple of photo's...

The car looks great - a very similar spec to mine on the chassis. I always wanted a small drop & the VWR springs were the least drop I could find. Still very happy with them. How do you find the dampers? I went with Bilstein B8's, which are very well controlled at speed, maybe just a bit harsh on potholes and bumps!

Car looks great in the pics - couldn't notice your paint woes. Nürburgring is an awesome place - only been once & there's just something about the place...

Thank you! The car is normally driven by my other half who never complains about the ride, I think it's perfect, not too hard but definitely not soft.  :smiley:

I was so impressed with the way the car handled to be fair, I've always found it to be a little 'Boat'y' and not very solid. The turn-in was improved when I changed the front control arm bushes for powerflex ones and the rear seemed a little more stable when I fitted the rear brake kit!

I will most definitely be going back - going to try and make it an annual trip!
