Nice ride mate. I saw this for sale on eBay, I'm glad you've got rid of that shocking cupra sticker on the side. What do you think of the jom coilies? I've had mine on about a month and they are so bouncy. And I get a nasty knock from the n/s/f on full left hand lock

haha cheers mate, yeh the sticker was gash, i agree with you on the bouncy side of them, i got same on the knocking, raised it up half an inch and seams ok now, even put ford mondeo drop links on but still couldnt go to low as the arb knocks on the drive shaft, they seam good for the price tho, eliminate body roll and handles better than standard, i greased the threads to keep muck out and them rusting

I put puma drop links on mine too.
I had h&r lowering springs on with standard shocks before I bought the joms and it handled so much better with just the springs. So much stiffer and tighter in the bends. I get a lot of body roll now which causes the tires to scrub on the arches when cornering. Still not bad for the money like you said.
Got anything else planned for it?

hmmm mind you if the coilovers are to low will have a negative effect, mine still handles like a boat really, need to get some new tires on the fronts, need to sort this sai blank when that turns up, got rust to sort, exhaust getting sorted tomorrow as the silencer is rattling about cos the clamps are rubbish, filter needs to come off as its making car slower lol but still many things yet, new clutch/smf, diff, tfsi coil packs, forge pancake pipe, remap and a rear arb oh and brakes to sort for stage 2 there not that good at the moment, so got a few bits haha

got the new caps on tho

hello, think the oem ones where rubber and these are anodised aluminium, stronger and reduce a little of the slop between changes, don't really have to fit them but i did to make more of a difference

Haven't updated this in almost a year lol had a few changes to the car over this year in no real order:

got some 6k hids fitted



got the forge pipe to get rid of the pancake pipe



put a lightened and balanced clutch and fly wheel in





done the cam belt and water pump



fitted a rear anti roll bar



battery ended up going in the boot and the car has no back seats, put a huge filter in its place, made a good difference in pull through the rev range over airbox and cheap ass filters, also got the 2.0 tfsi coil packs and some extra hosing in there



audi s3 injectors ready for stage 3 when i get the hybrid



bought a apt manifold off ebay, was cracked but got it welded up for cheap



started collecting for brake upgrade as well, mtec discs also got some black diamond predator pads



also using badger bills idea i did the diy gearbox mount using a bolt



car is currently at stage 2 with a map from DNA tuning, collecting parts to go stage 3 which will take some time but will be worth it here is a pic of how she stands at the mo
