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:

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.
