For me I wanted to stay in the VAG stable and initially thought about just going out and getting another GTI straight away :party: but after sitting down and thinking about it any GTI I got would have to be an edition30 for the extra tuning potential and limited edition garnish
However I was not enjoying the wheel spin and traction issues I was having with my stage2+ GTI in damp and wet conditions and so adding more power for me personally would not be a good idea unless I wanted to invest a lot of money into the car
I narrowed my search down to two choices, a mk6 golf R and a facelift audi S3
Looking around it became obvious that a golf R was out of my price range and so began the hunt for a 3dr dsg S3
After some searching I found a very nice silver 3dr dsg S3 and it was love at first sight :love:
This is how it looked when going for a test drive
Totally standard apart from a black edition front grill surround
Even in standard form it felt quicker than my GTI and the traction and grip was immense :driver:
First off I wanted to get my wheels and brakes swapped over from the GTI and address the reverse rake the standard suspension has so gave Alex a call at AKS and started the ball rolling with the following mods -
Bilstein B14 coilovers
Superpro ALK
H&R front and rear arbs
Db9 astons fitted
TT top mounts
Alignment
Revo stage 1
Ended up being an all day marathon but at the end of it the car looked and handled spot on
Now that was all I had planned for quite a while but I've got two friends on here that are bad influences plus Alex was tempting me with all sorts of goodies :signLOL:
So a deal was made and a kind of mini group buy set up for this little lot to be fitted
So my engine bay went from this
To this :pomppomp:
That's how it stands at the moment but I've ordered a BCS full exhaust in the group buy and already have the loba hpfp in place to go stage2+ when that's fitted in a week or so
Here's a few pics after a good clean a few weeks back before early edition
Looking forward to trying out the new chemical guys stuff I've just got when the weather starts behaving itself :fighting:
That's about it for now thanks for reading
