8P sportback.
« on: October 09, 2014, 11:56:02 am »
Decided to come over to this forum as its a lot better than Audi-sport. I used to have a mk5 1.6fsi but sold it soon after i realised what a terrible engine it was.

anyway heres my progress so far on my 1.8tfsi sportback.

How it started



Then came bbs ch reps 18"
 

Fitted s3 pedals and cruise control


V-maxx coil over which I hate


Then came the 345mm S3 brakes with a refurb




How it is currently after a detail and carbon collective full seal.




Next up:

Fit H&R 45/50mm springs (sell the v-maxx as well)
Bilstein b8 dampers
P flow Intake
Miltek catback exhaust.
S3 intercooler
Stage 2 remap (revo)
RNS-E mk2
Xenon headlight (when the price comes down from £700 a set)
Possible wheel change to team dynamics pro race ?

Like what you have done to it. Xenon's would transform it, but pricey.

Very good progress! Your future plans will make a good difference too. :happy2:

By any chance do you know how much your reps weight? Just out of curiosity.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers

Thanks for the great feedback , nice to actually get it instead of getting ignored on audi sport because it's not an s3. I can weigh the reps for you when I fit the springs next weekend.

Looks excellent mate, paintwork is looking fine.

Yours looks cool with the black grille and black badge actually! - I see too many A3's of all ages with the Black Edition grill like mine but with a black Audi badge which makes the front look gappy. It can look too try-hard or RS6 wannabe for me  :signLOL:

B4 aren't compatible with lowering springs. Get the B8 instead or wait till you can get them. The B4 won't last what they're supposed to with those springs. :wink:
