Heres a bit about my car and some of what i have planned for her.

She was formally known as the blue bullet, but Carl stole the name off me, how rude:P;) So i re-cristened her the blue bolt.

I had her from new and for the first 7 months I never changed anything as i was happy.

Then i fell down some slippery slope as a direct result of joining this forum, and i dont seem to have managed to get back up it yet.

And there are alot of members on here who are to blame, Damn you!!!

heres a list of what i have had done: with prices

Cruise Control -(£180 fitted by a friend)

AP Coilovers - (£700 incl fitting and cornerweighting)

Zero Sixty Front Discs, tarox strada pads - (£240 fitted myself)

bluefin Stage 2- £500 (price dropped about 150 quid about a month after i bought it :( )

Pipewerx 3" DP and 200 cell Cat, will be stage 2 bluefin up on fitment. (Supplied by hoffeister £300, will fit my self)

Forge short shifter £35

Code Red Ram Air intake and filter, -(£270 courtesy of Dan_v8_man, fitted myself)

Code Red Carbon engine Cover

D revision Diverter Valve £48 (fitted my self)

Eibach Front and rear ARBs. front set on softest, rear on stiffest (£400 fitted at JKM)

Purchased but not fitted

WHITELINE ANTI LIFT KIT -(£118)

ECS dogbone Mount - (£31)

Audi TT lower control arms - for additional 0.5 degree negative Camber

Still to come

Autotech fuel pump internals - then bluefin stage 2 +

S3 brake upgrade, with tarox G88 uprated discs and DS2500 pads for additional performance

LSD - either quaife or pelequin (cheapest will win i think) they are both good.

Poly bushes all around

Water Methonal Injection

wheels will be sprayed black

colour Coded Grill

Twintercooler or S3 intercooler, or maybe both???

Thanks mate, saw the wheels in drkuthans pics and thought it looked well smart. plus im booked in for window tints, which i forgot to mention before, so i think they might go well together

yes this site should have a safety warning on the home page

"Briskoda can seriously damage your wallet!"

lovely looking vRS, but then i'm biased!

not biased, just well informed, lol

Very nice

Best colour too

Nice list of mods/planned mods you got going there

How do you find the AP coilies, as this is something I may be doing in the future.

Keep up the good work

Cheers

i think they work just fine. they are the budget sideof the market, so i cant compare them to the likes of KW or bilstein, but for the money they are good. as a last mod after everything i might look into kw or bilstein cos i do alot of track work

Nice car Sy

Not as nice as the Blue Bullet tho :P

Piece of advice though. Unless your thinking about putting some serious power through the engine and a mahoosive turbo i wouldn't bother getting both a twintercooler and S3 intercooler. S3 intercooler will be just fine even with a KO4 conversion. Put it towards the Diff

I blame this site aswell for leading me down that slippery slope. Im about 100m further down it than you and im still sliding :D:D

Carl:thumbup:

im edging towards the twintercooler as i reckon that combined with the standard intercooler will prove more effective than the S3 intercooler on its own.

plus it looks pretty cool.

as for combining the two together i would only do that if i went the big turbo route, and that would be a long way off

been buying stuff again.

just purchased MK2 Audi TT lower control arms, ball joints and locking plates. going to get them fitted at the same time as my WALK.

this should hopefully put me in the region of -2 degrees camber on the front wheels, which with the dynamic camber from the WALk should make for a huge amount of grip when cornering.

ill be having a full geometry check once they are fitted.

here are the part numbers for anyone interested:

Lower arms : 8J0 407 151 (same part number both sides)

Ball Joint : 8J0 407 365/366

ball joint lock plate (8J0 407 175,176)

its cost me 240 euro tax free from an audi stealership over here in germany, you could probably get it cheaper though in UK from a breakers maybe.

Wait out for a review once installed.

heres some pics(not mine though)

attached pics of new lower arms

more suspension items purchased now.

just bought some eibach wheel spacers. ive gone for 20mm spacers on each rear hub, and 15mm on the fronts.

just the LSD and brakes to get and suspension is complete

update have now ordered the autotech fuel pump internals from JBSautodesigns. cheapest i could find by far. As soon as thats on on goes the stage 2+bluefin map,

moving back to UK soon, so RR graph to follow

Good work there!

cheers mate.

ive got a severe spending addiction on the car. which is about to stop as im posted back to UK so i lose out on all my allowances:mad:. Hence the mass spend out recently:rolleyes:before i travel back.

Im mega into trying to sort out the handling on my car though since driving my mates Evo Fq 300 a few months back. it made the vRS seem soggy and rubbish. hence the poly bushes etc. I reckon she'll handle fantastic after that

next option for the engine though is water methanol injection. expecting about 15bhp from that, plus it supposably cools the inlet temps down like an intercooler and will prolong the life of the engine

T cutted my car before going to the ring yesterday and was well chuffed when i found this pic. might have to purchase this one from the site
