cheers for the comments chaps, im really chuffed with the car...wouldnt be without it

nice motor you got there rob,

keep a eye on the front lower arm bushes popping out and top shock mounts turning into squashed mushrooms and the rear coil springs snapping

i love these cars but the brake pedal feel imo is scary when compared to the newer s3's

cheers mate, top mounts have been replaced as have all the coil springs

i've got no issues with the brakes to be honest, i think they perform very well??

cant wait to finally get a full turbo back exhaust on the blooming thing

this is hopefully what the cat back will look like

with subtle twin tail pipes much like the standard system

Mark @ Power and Performance is going to be doing the work for me, he is also going to be making me a custom 3" downpipe and decat too...cant wait!! then i will be off to APT for a power run to see accurately what the old girl is kicking out

That looks well smart, love those wheels and the other subtle mods have transformed it from what you bought
