Had this car a year now and never really bothered having a build thread as the plan was to run it for a few months while we got married etc then sell it on and buy either a b7 rs4 or b8 s4 but after getting a bit of pier pressure from cooper and Chris and becoming rather fond of it I caved in and decided to spend some money.
So after travelling as far as north wales and Glasgow and being let down on both occasions I finally came across this one in Leeds 1 owner from new, full VWSH and never bumped
When I first got it looking a little sorry for its self....
Few day's after....
Had wheels refurbed, new tyres all round, cambelt, big service, coil packs,plugs,dents, new grill,build plaque, dsg service, cv boots, rcd 510 etc
Ran around in it on jbs stg1 map for a few months....
Then decided it needed a bit of noise with the addition of a milltek cat back and so it all began, since then the car had had
Full milltek exhaust inc 3" down pipe/sports cat
Nuespeed intake
Pcv kit
Forge d/v
Forge cooler pipes
Apr hpfp
APR stg2 + software

I've basically gone the Clarkson way of modding a car with the first port of call POWER! The next port of call is chassis it's already had power flex bushes but suspension and walk kit is next and it's getting some stickier tyres on Monday in the mean time I'm just keeping it mint.
Not much of a build thread I know, but now I'm getting into it and plan on keeping it I will take better pics of upcoming mods. This is next to go on....
