Audi A3 Turbo - Built in Australia, Tuned in Great Britain

[guile]

Did a search. It is indeed made by Dietrich. Here's one they make for the A4 B5 like mine. You'll need a cupra R lip. They look tits

Marty's S3s engine should be ready to stretch its legs anytime soon...and Gavin will reflash it with some "nice" tune

Let me know when you're back and we can catch up.

nice, looks cool in the photo. got my gf to snap a few pics and the quality of my bumper appears ok, just got to see how it fits.

looking forward to a catch up soon, i'm back next week but always really busy. will shoot you a text when free and see what your up to. (going to try and get to happy laps on sunday if you're going?)



ps you're right about the lip spolier, i thought it looked like it was missing something at the bottom

my boot spoiler has landed and thinking about delocking the rear end. i'm after something like this but keeping the a3 rear bumper as i'm not that keen on seeing the exhaust. i've also bought camber shims to go on the a$$...

Got one of those lock/boot handles here in the garage if you want it to practice on. I saw it over the weekend just need to go through 3 boxes to find it again.

Back in 2006 I helped tune that S3 with Custom-Code. I did the datalogging with Andy Wlaker from PSITuning.

The owner lived near Warrington. He had the engine covers done in leather!!! Not my style but pretty unusual back then.

thanks mate, your a legend. you get around a bit though, i bet your tuning sticks been out more times than tiger woods putter. i know i've been over doing the styling thing at the moment but once its all done i'm hoping to have a pretty even combination between that and performance, just needed to put my touches to it. don't worry no leather planned here, it weighs too much and i normally save that for the weekends.

Appear to be getting a bit of boost fluctuation at the mo and stumbled upon this thread. Haven't read it all yet so throwing in here as a book mark reminder to do further research...

Richard, let me know if you wanna test an N75J. I'm running a closed loop electronic boost controller but the N75J is still hooked up.

Just heaps easier for me to dial in the boost I want to run(low boost,16psi at the moment) instead of screwing around the boost map in the maestro 7 map editor.

thanks for the info mate, just trying to work my way through it, sounds like danny might be able to shed some light on this anyway.

thanks for noticing my rack but you really shouldn't be looking...

liking your crazy a$$ wheel choice i must say, nothing short of mental

thanks dude but that may as well have been in swahili for all i know. not back now for at least 6 weeks, working away is a pain in the hole. setting myself a full week to work on the car when i'm back though and will definitely take you up on your offer. going to try and read up some more in the meantime.

hope your motor is coming along well, i'd like to check that out a bit more next we catch up, take it easy

just got this from someone i appear to be using as my local vag wreckers these days, many thanks mate;



plan is to shave the lock, get it sprayed and on the car. can work on this while i'm away so should keep me out of trouble.
