F17BAD G3 GTI. S3 TURBO

Thanks mate, basically just waiting for Colin the cat to arrive from the states.

A few brackets to fabricate up and that's it, then I'll run her for a few weeks see if anything needs swapping about etc. Once happy I'll go get the bespoke remap, also prob dump the oil after a few thousand miles and re fill, plus drop the sump and clean it all out including the pick up pipe. Would have done this before but wanted to make sure it ran before I start taking bits off haha ;-)

Sounds like a good plan... Try not to plant your foot until you're really happy everything is good, the temptation will be hard to resist though!

Really can't wait to drive it. Gonna be a
Big change from the old 8v lump

BIG indeed... take a long time for you to get bored of it I think... you wouldn't even have to tank it to appreciate it.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too, tbh I was never board of the car before and I'm usually used to more powerfully cars than the 8v, It was never as bad as folk make out on the forums

The need for more power never goes away. A mate of mine had a 2.0 Type R powered classic mini. It was mental fast, like 911 beating fast. He got bored so supercharged it. That kept him happy for about 6 months then he had to break out the Nos to get the thrill. To be honest the thing was lethal, would spin the front wheels at 130mph in top gear in the dry and topped out at 146mph bouncing off the limiter. Proper frightening but proper cool.

Anyhoo, this is all going swimmingly, look forward to the reviews after it's completed.

Got any idea when the Cat is due down matey? is there an ETA?

[F17BAD]

Colin (the Cat) left chicago on the 10th of this month so shpuld be in UK now

HOWEVER....


just had a chat to my MOT guy at the local Performance centre (BHP Centre - Batley)  and he was just telling me the laws on the cats were revised recently, and now cars up to August 94 can pass on the old legislation which means my car falls into this band (No cat needed ) 

My custom downpipe is so long (so you can modify at your own spec to fit whatever exhaust you want) and it is about bang on to fitting my Jetex without no cat, if i add the fitment pipe you get with the jetex i think it will fit with minimal been needed to cut off the downpipe..

Car booked in for MOT friday, cat or no cat haha, gonna trial fit tonight with no cat, see if it will work..

my oil sensor arrives at the dealer tomo (genuine parts used) as does my MK4 golf windscreen washer bottle and new Dipstick from audi plus a few other little service bits i need

i just need to get a silicone bit to extend my induction kit so i can mount this were the mk3 windscreen bottle is at present, then we are all good

Car could be on the road FRIDAY!!!!!!
