Hello from Surrey

[Tfsi_Mike]

In fairness the V3s have never been set up propperly on my car.  I dont have any particullar complaints about the handling although they' re very harsh on the Uk roads after spending 5years in germany 

I would consider a half cage & geordie/SteveP type interior but not sure what it would do to my insurance.

Mods are slowing right down as Harry is priority but I dont plan on getting rid of the car so it will get done eventually

I had the same issue of incorrect setup when I first had the cs's fitted, I then had them redone which was a huge improvement but still think they need some fine tuning.

Insurance would be minimal I think due to it being a safety feature but I suppose on the other hand they may see it as your pushing the car to the limits to warrent needing one. It's definitely on my to do list at some stage but at £2500 fitted I need to start saving my pennies or persuade a few owners to join a group buy

There isn't much more to mod on you car so can see how it's slowing down   but yeah the responsibilities and finances have to take priority with the little one, wait till you start taking him for junior karting sessions a whole other money pit for you to go through

hey  mate i live in horsham just wondered if you have any of the bits from your old conversion im stage 2+ at the moment and wanting to go K04

also if u don mind me asking how much does a S3 engine go for??

cheers mate

I sold the complete 50000 mile engine and ko4 turbo for pennies in the end as I just wanted rid of it at the time.

  You can pick up a S3/Edition 30 engine for around £1000+ on ebay but have to tread carefully as you won't know the history and whether it actually runs etc.  I paid a reputable tuner to do all the work which cost me a fortune but I wanted the peace of mind knowing the job was done properly in the first place and walking away with warranty and a sound low mileage engine and turbo.

Cheers 

Last rr was 327bhp after the engine was installed, there should be a little room for improvement once the wmi is set up properly.
