Seems like i've been clocking up quite a few miles now so it was service time. Booked in to AKS tuning once again.

The car also needed new two new driveshaft gaiters and a new ball joint as the old one didn't want to come out. Alex also coded my boot pop and re-aligned my headlights

I did have plans to go on a road trip to nurburgring, so with that in mind i wanted to improve the handling a touch, the car already has H&R springs and the Superpro ALK. After speaking to Alex he highly recommends the H&R arb's and so i decided to just upgrade the rear. With the old bar removed you can instantly tell the difference, the h&r is thicker and heavier and has adjustment too. Installation was nice and easy, i watched as Alex tackled it one handed.
The bar was set onto the hardest setting and to be honest i was dubious if i would actually feel the difference. I was pleasantly surprised at the extra stability and the better turn in and its definitely worth the money.
A big thanks to Alex

top service as per usual.
The car may end up with a few extra upgrades, the s3 intercooler is quite a cheap mod and that coupled with a sports cat could mean i could go to stage 2. I've organised a GB with BCS who are giving 20% off for 10 or more people
