<< < (5/38) > >>

Yes, Raeder are KW specialists and they run the new TT-RS for Audi on the Ring.
Lots of GT3, GT-R an the likes there . . .

I'm unfortunately not as close to the Ring as I'd like. It's about 650 km.
I've had planned an function for the 'W'-button, but later I decided not to do this mod.
Now I have another idea. I'll let you know.

The S3 jack pads do fit straight in without any problem. Part numbers:


8N0 804 583 rubber (4 x)
8P0 802 845 front left (1 x)
8P0 802 846 front right (1 x)
8P0 802 847 rear left or right (2 x)

- wax VW: D 308 SP5 A1
- silicon grease (to slip in easily)

price in Germany:  43,32 € + wax + silicon

Just 10 minutes of work !!

 :happy2:

Last pic is great.  :drool:  So are you running 19's now. Does not go against you modding principle of stream line and light.

the bruce:
19" for beauty - 17" for speed  :evilgrin:

(18" for snow - three sets of wheels)

 :drinking:

these heavy weight 19" make slow - no doubt !!

Very Lovely car Bruce, very subtle mods, very much like the under car aerodynamics, can see several big advantages to them and yet no one can see that youve altered the car  :happy2: 

What was the reason for replacing just the first muffler on the exhaust, did this smaller box increase sound and performance wihtout making it too loud? and with OEM look?

Most rear mufflers are larger than the ultraflat stock one. I don't like to see them
from behind. So I wanted OEM-look.
And making the underbottom flat and fitting a large rear exhaust doesn't make
any sense to me.
 :wink:


I expected:

- less back pressure
- more 'italian' sound
- no drone
- no rusty stock muffler


I got:

- reasonably louder
- little bit drone
- excellent finish
- perfect fitment


My opinion:

- louder than Milltek resonated (rear system)
- maybe bit too noisy
- price ok


I'll make a direct comparison to Milltek soon.  :happy2:


ps
Next year I'd like to use my 18" BBS with Direzza 03G for track and the 17" Monza
for winter. The 19" Monza will remain for summer/road.
