(VAG content) My A3 1.8T (again)

[Curt]

Nice to see this back, I was actually thinking about buying this off you, and after how shit the VRS turned out I wish I had

Well tbh, I'm glad you didn't... as I probably wouldn't have got it back . You got unlucky, shame it's turned you off 1.8T's as they're great fun and this one is brilliant.

Always loved this car the first time around,
Glad to see you've got it back!
Looks good

Cheers bud I'm pleased too!

I hate that twist and tape shit. And a spoon i mean wtf, since when were chavs smart enough to do that? Lovely car though, looks amazing on those wheels!

Yeah I know, I was appalled at the twisting... then I lifted the carpet up and saw that. I've never seen anything like it. Yeah I love the wheels, even better with extra dish

those are some pretty amazing bodges, i really do think the previous owner would've had to go to more effort to bodge it than do it properly surely?

ah well, im sure you will rescue it

You'd think so wouldn't you... I honestly don't know what goes through peoples minds.

It's already pretty rescued, just the paint and engine bay really.

Love it mate, that car sits so well on those wheels.

Purfekt. Unlike the previous owners attempts at modding.

Cheers Chris, yeah I do feel bad for letting him do it I'm making up for it!

Great looking car mate.

Thanks dude.

Nice I do prefer the look of these to the mk4 golfs, but find the golfs interior is far nicer. Are they interchangable? The golfs recaro's are very nice seats..

I prefer these to Golfs in every way really. I've always preferred the A3 interior as well, and I put full leathers in this so I'm happy with them. But yeah, they are interchangeable. I gave my old interior to my mate with a 1.6 Golf.

I may freshen this up like I intended before by painting the trim "piano" black like the S3's have.




So I've just been to pick something up:

Standard filter from an S2000. It's rather large!

Paper filter rather than foam or gauze, so better filtration. Plus a velocity stack and it's huuge! Not bad for £20 from a motor factor, can be had cheaper online too. Just a shame about the colour.

Just got to get a reducer for my MAF now and it can go on
