Cheers jv

Well where do I begin?

Iv owned loads of vw's, audi's in the past including a lot of classics, seein as my dad owns The Dead Dubs Workshop, a classic vw restoration company. Iv finally got around to doing a build thread on my latest project so here goes

Bought the car about 2months ago and it was completely standard other than the r32 rims(not sure if they are genuine or reps?).

It's a 1.8t with around a 100k on the clock and generally tidy but got big plans for it 

When I bought it.



Carbon wrapped the badges and the nasty wood effect trims inside 

Fitted spax shocks and 85mm springs
Before



After




Next up was to get rid of the standard inter cooler and fit a forge side mount



Had to bore out for the sensor which was a little bit tricky the got it on and tested





And then this seeing as the front end was off lol



More to come

Next up I fitted adjustable drop links due to the usual driveshaft/ arb issues

New n75 valve as boost seemed a bit lumpy and a forge 007p recirc valve


Picked up a couple of stickers at bug jam 


Due to the drive shaft still rubbing the arb I ordered the white line arb with the larger hoops for clearance and I had this on my last A3 and really rated it and it arrived today    so I will get this fitted ASAP.

Also invested in the remains of dazveedub's bolf the break for parts and keep the smoothed bora front end, g60/vr6 flywheel and clutch, poly bushed wishbones seeing as mine are nackered 



 
The misses really didn't appreciate the bora converted bed lol


Hoping to get the clutch/flywheel, arb,  TT short shifter and wishbones done next weekend when I can nick one of my dads 2post lifts for the day so watch this space

Some of the carbon wrapping 



And also done the n249 bypass as found on a few forums





New forge 007p recirc valve with green spring



New cai



Also wanting to get rid of where previous owner had fitted a rubbish bailey dump valve if anybody can help with suggestions?


Cheers

Well had a busy day yester day 

Fitted new polybushed wishbones as the old ones were cream crackered, arb with bigger hoops and adjustable drop links 













Then fitted my g60/vr6 flywheel and clutch conversion and audi TT short shifter and i can believe how much difference it has all made 

Out with the old


In with the new






Plus a quick pic of my spax shocks and 85mm springs whilst the wheels were off




Thats it for today but hopefully more updates next weekend

[dub_fan]
