Nice car buddy I was after a red one at first, that was till our lass wanted a white one.............

Nice collection of mods too.

 

[AlexK1]

Cheers dude, I did look at a white modified one before I bought this but unfortunately was a bit of a shed.

You got any plans for yours?

Just fitted the THS intercooler today. Fairly straight forward and took around 3 hours start to finish by myself.

Initial drive can definitely feel difference in power especially with the cold weather.

Definitely worth the money, just got the fuel pump to do for stage 2+ now!

Got the car back from Bodyshop after my accident and has had the newer grilles fitted, looks better than the K1 fins that was on there before I reckon

Just had my Loba HPFP arrive and fitted straight away. Have booked in to have the remap flashed to stage 2+ next Thursday!

Nice. Did you notice any difference from just fitting the pump, without the map upgrade?

WMI next

 

[AlexK1]

Can't say yet as still at work till 530 . I'll let you know later, yeah that's in the pipeline, thinking of taking off the inlet manifold to clean and fit the rs4 valve this weekend

Bet you can't wait to try it and get the 2+ file loaded

I'd put aside an entire day to do all of that. Taking the inlet off is my least favourite job completed on the car to date

 

[AlexK1]

Yeah definitely. Well I'm planning on doing it on a Saturday as can probably just do it on a ramp at work, plus have access to compressed air and unlimited brake cleaner haha.

Can't say I'm looking forward to doing it as it doesn't look the best job to do

The next stage is even better, mines awesome...... I'm liking the newer side grills. I need some of them as I've got the main bumper one and bonnet grill to match them. Do you have the part numbers by any chance?

Triple R front splitter

How easy is it to fit the triple R splitters? on their site is says there is no bumper modifications needed so how does it secure to the bumper?

Hi Tom,

It's pretty easy to do, they bolt on to the bumper so you just need to drill holes. By no modification I think they mean you don't have to cut anything to fit.

They supplied bolts on my first one I ordered but not on the second one.

Do you want some pictures of the underside?

Small update, wrapped the interior radio and heater control trims in gloss black. Unfortunately the instrument cluster trim didn't work so may get that done professionally.

Fitted the bonnet strut today using the brackets supplied by Jarre. Really pleased with how easy this mod is! Definitely should be standard fit

Could have fitted the top bracket parallel with the bonnet cut out

Looks good, makes a world of difference
