  1. What? I find the handling good.
  2. Take a look at this see what you think s-line is the top spec apart from the S3, i bought mine on 88,000 miles so this one will go on forever. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201305216882904/sort/default/usedcars/fuel-type/diesel/price-from/8000/price-to/10000/model/a3/make/audi/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/page/3/keywords/s-line/postcode/po95tq/radius/1501?logcode=p
  3. I've got a remapped A3 I've had it for fours years now and only had two problems with it totalling £500 which isn't bad for 50,000 miles the car is now on 140,000 miles and she is still going strong. Best build quality interior wise is Audi, vw then soda and seat if I just drive normally round town I get 40mpg out of it but have had 60mpg on long runs its as quick as civic type-R's and handling is good. I wouldn't go without having a vw group diesel now as my daily.
  4. Glad you got the coilovers set up mine are on setting nine all round, don't they make such a difference?
  5. Looks like good quality kit did you get it from America?

    New wheels

    She looks great
  7. Ah miles away from emsworth then lol, hope you enjoy the car.
  8. I have a different set up at the back as I have true coil overs so can't really comment on the rears, however the fronts you can measure from the bottom locking collar to the next one for example say its 40mm you can then release the bottom locking collar and twist the top of the shock clockwise this will then shorten the shock keep measuring until the distance is then 30mm in between locking collars then you will have lowered the front by 10mm. If this is hard to understand pm me and il give you my phone number to talk you through it. Buy doing it this way it saves a lot of time by not removing the shocks.
  9. Thanks that pics fine think I might have to order one of these I've just got my cargo net and this is next on the list.
  10. Can some post a pic of the rear of the divider please
  11. Make sure you disconnect it from the battery untill you find the other end tho.
  12. That is a horsham development plenum spacer and it is ment to fit like that so don't worrie, and that blue cable is a power supply for an amplifier the other end of the cable will be inside the car somewhere you had better take it off the battery as it could short out and maybe cause a fire.
  13. Haha I feel sorry for some of them as there are no jobs but others are just complete f##k ups

    JAPFEST 2013 FILM

    Wicked video so wish I could have gone but had my brothers wedding.
  15. I use dodo juice ph neutral wheel cleaner on mine and it seems to be really good also it seems to protect the wheels aswell.
  16. Just release the two locking collars for the spring so it can slap up and down and measure it that will give you your standard spring height.
  17. Oh also forgot to say the second locking collor should be used under the first one and locked together to stop the spring being able to move. sorry if this sounds stupid or you already know this.
  18. To set up the front spring its simple mate the top locking collor just make sure it is holding the spring in place but don't tighten it up a lot or you will compress the spring you just want it to stop the spring slapping about. And handling on the softest setting is very bouncy I found the car just did not feel very steady however its only for the first 100 miles then when you stiffen it up you will notice it feeling much better still by far the best mod I have done to any of my cars.
  19. Good in my instruction for my hsd's they recommend 100 miles on the softest setting after that I turned mine up three settings at a time untill I got to setting nine and that's hard enough for me. Please just take it easy tho as on the softest setting they are actually quite dangerous, I fitted some hsd's for a mate and he didn't listen to me and he had a crash the next day. If you need any more info on them give us a shout.
  20. Yeh the rears are a pain in the arse I left the rear strut covers off for a few months whilst I was setting the stiffness up actualy they were off for over a year lol, anyway the best thing to use are Allen keys with the kind of ball ends on them that's how I did mine I got a set in halfords for around £10.
