My Recent additions to the Blue Bullet

[vRS Carl]

Been doing a bit of work to the Blue Bullet and broke my Disc & Pad changing virginity  

Yesterday with the generous help of our very own Mr Fuller the following was done.

New Rear OEM Discs and pads



New J-Hooked 345mm discs (thanks to our Brake Guru DaveB) and OEM pads (Yes the Lump hammer was needed )







Full set of VF Engine mounts. Which in the words of someone else make the car sound "like a 6 Pot" Only took pics after installation so can only see the engine mount



Oh and one of these (although this was fitted 3 weeks ago somewhere else)





That came in this box......



A huge thanks to Stu as now, after his expert tutelage, I can change brake pads, discs and engine mounts (which I wasn't confident doing as I'd never done it before)

Oh and I Mustn't forget Hedge. Without his "Supervisory" skills we would have been in a right kerfuddle

I was only there for food. Had I known you were dismantling your car I would have turned up earlier with a freshly sharpened wit and a big hammer. 

[vRS Carl]

I think the hammer we had was just fine. Although my right boot did a better job on the front drivers side caliper

the hammer AKA the Persuader.  Only a k04 or LSD left for you know then carl. Youhave pretty much everything else on there

[vRS Carl]

No need for an LSD I don't push the car that hard to be honest so have never found myself wanting grip (well except in the snow  )

K04 is for the people who take the path of least resistance.  I'm taking the hard route and chasing the Seat Leon K03 Supercar

Good choice, thats only a £70 mod.  by mod i mean a quick run on AMDs rollers which seem like they are back to their usual inflated results.  Free Hp in a doggy bag anyone?

Seems the blunt tool won over the surgical precision of the hammer.

Sometimes the Brute Force of a Blunt Tools is required

some results from VAGOC

Paolo (jungleman) - S3 stage 1- Evolve Stg 1, Milltek Cat Back, Evoms - 345 bhp & 338 lb/ft

JamesS3 - S3 - stage 2 (ITG & MT TBE & Revo) - 377.4bhp and 355.8lb/ft

gixxer990 - S3 - Stg 2+ Revo, MT TBE, Evoms,Forge DV, Autotech, RS4 FPR - 394.6bhp and 359.5lb/ft

they latest efforts at a RR day say otherwise. lets be fair all 3 cars are making around 40hp more than normal. 

So carl, you should be over the 300hp region easily and into the seat k03 supercar territory

Shoulda gone to Superchips

Any vids/audio Carl? I'd be interested to see how they've influenced the sound on the VRS

[vRS Carl]

It's the noise in the car mate and I don't think an audio/video clip would do it justice.

I'll see if I can make a clip for you but it would be better if you were in the car.

I might just do that next time
