One word - Amazing
Look forward to seeing it in the flesh... hope you are not too scared of damaging it to drive it anywhere!

I think it's about time we had a update it's been a busy time first half of the year for every one involved on my car .

First off the engine is complete and running fine I would just like to thank some people on the forum for there support and advice .

Jonus racing (not very active but a forum member)

And also like to thank quattrocoachwork for all there hard work putting my car right and doing a flawless job on the hole build the paint is amazing .

So if all goes well ill ba attending aitp

Next the fun part some pics































































On the final strait now paint the satin black around the windows and window trims then reassemble the car .

Then over to the tt shop to have the laser 4 wheel ailment done then mot tax and road test and break the engine in .

Then after race season book the dyno and arrange for jonus to come and map the car .

But I'm in two minds to keep stock rims or put my 16" bbs rs wheels on that I have built up with radinox lips .







And it will look like this one ish built some years ago .







And as I'm at it I'm on the look out for a set of recaro a8 seats for my car .

If any one has a set or knows of a set for sale I would like to add to my project .

nice project mate

[jsws3]

I am sorry you have resorted to wearing lady's cloths again after rehab I thought you was curerd !!

On my update side not a lot to tell really if the dyno day was in 2015 I might have a chance of attending it lol .
You know who these project cars take forever to complete !

But on the bright side I'll be attending the dyno day in the S3 and I have a gopro hero now if you want to go out and shoot some video .

To be honest ill be going down the kw route after a year so afte it's finished change the running gear to s2 and swop the front berates to ap application .

I keep hanging my nose over the KW kit for the avant...

I'm happy with my new brakes....

Are you going to be running after market management on your car too or run it with stock ecu ?

Motronic of course, why would I change a tried and tested system that has been used by all manner of car manufacturers along with various race teams...to any thing else...plus I cannot justify the cost of an afermarket system with the tuner's fees on top....

These cars are money pits and I keep finding other things to improve on the car witch pushes the finishing time feather away but I have no dout it will be around the roads of he midlands this summer .

I hear that....

[jsws3]

It never looked like a pile of scrap at Ish's, just a neat storage system for all the parts that it came with......

I actually went for a blast in the avant yesterday....I even plugged the N75 back in...
it shifted..... it still has boost issues but it was only a get out and put some more miles on it since the re-build.....its got a few suspension qwirks to iron out (alignment and wheel balance)....fit my AFR gauge....fit my new braided lines to my newest brake upgrade...fit water meth kit....and then wait until it gets mapped.....

who knows after that....I'm hanging my nose over a KW kit but the body work is poor shape and if Danny's avant comes out as good as he says it will that could be first!

Do you have a target date/show for you beast?

good luck with it chap...
