Dropped the car off at the garage this morning, getting PCV, Cam follover, Vogtland coilovers, RS3 Top mounts, Superpro ALK, Front wishbone bushes and BJ's fitted  :wink: Can't wait to get her back and feel the difference  :laugh:

Got a 02 Audi A3 1.8T Auto as a loan car, its done 227k but drives/feels like new, only thing i don't like it the rather lifeless steering on it. The Mk5 is a very different car to drive, made me appreciate what I've got  :smiley:

Fitted the little stainless steel/chrome wingmirror control, broke the normal one removing the door card, but been wanting to do this for a while anyway.

So this wasn't today but it was yesterday! Also the garage owners race prepped A4 with 2.0 strokker engine, running about 650bhp from memory  :scared: :drool: Also a customers MK3 VR6 supercharger conversion he's doing, currently waiting on the owner to see if he wants to convert to 4WD atm  :confused:

Ride height, forgive the dirty car  :ashamed: Taken this morning near work.


Vogtland Coilovers


Superpro ALK


Superpro Ball Joints


Superpro Dogbone Mount


Race prepped A4


That turbo tho :drool:


Was worth 2 shots

Mk3 VR6 Supercharger conversion.

Good ride height!

I used to have one of those Superchargers on my old VR6 and it was horrible.  Turbos work so much better on the VR6!

Fitted another set of N version door modules, now have folding mirrors again! Thanks to @gti_enthu for the help and smooth transaction

Also wired up door warning lights whilst the cards were off. The warning lights have been waiting to go on for a few months now!

Car just really needs a thorough clean inside and out now.
