Heys guys,
as promised here are a couple of snaps of my 1998 a3 1.8t sport, complete with all mods posted in my last update, with the exception of the paint work (colour coding of front/rear bumpers and sills: due to go into the body shop next week some time!)
so for those not in the know, heres what i did:
rs6 18'' wheels
40mm weitec springs
forge turbo inlet pipe
forge diverter valve
pipercross panel filter
smoothed airbox
jetex full turbo back exhaust
custom code phase 1 remap
audi 's' badge and vw '20v' badge on rear
s line front grille
facelift lights
cambelt and tensioners
metal impeller water pump + full service
I have to say the look and feel of the car is exactly what i hoped for, the car is great to drive and sounds amazing, not too loud but when you put your foot down it really is an amazing improvement on the standard car. i cannot reccommend the custom code enough! The accelaration seems blistering and puts a smile on my face every time i put my foot to the floor
The ride is fairly stiff, and on really poor roads is a little bumpier than i'd like, but on the flipside it handles really well, with little or no roll (compared to what i'm used to), i tried the car with the wheels on standard suspension, but i just felt it sat a little too high, so in the end i opted for the weitec 40mm lowering kit which actually lowered the car 25mm (the sport is 15mm lower than standard).
any ways let me know what you think, sorry about the quality of the photos, i'll get some of the underneath (exhaust) and engine bay soon!
