Vrs chop & change

[adriches]

I am new so apologies, I have tried searching but not fully sure what I'm looking for lol

With the 1.8 being used in so many other vag cars are there any parts from a tt or s3 for example that the vrs would benefit from?

Likewise I'd be interested to find out about any suspension etc parts that would improve the handling

[RobClubley]

There are loads of threads on this, have a browse around.

But basically AudiTT/S3/Seat Leon/R32 Golf steering rack, wishbones, hubs, rollbars etc all are improvements.

[adriches]

Thanks rob. Il have a browse

Slippery slope leading to a big money pit

[V8 Dave]

I've already decided I need to buy another one as I need to keep something fairly reliable as a daily. I'm now stuck trying to decide if I buy a VRS TDI lookalike 130 and mod mine, or get another VRS!

Round the back of Fareham College. I think I passed your cars doppelganger (silver with black grille and WRC spoiler) Gave the driver a wave and he nodded back. I once also followed you off the M3 onto the M27 in my brothers old silver VRS

Ah ok remember a silver VRS coming off M3 so yeah that was me.

not been around Fareham college end for a while.I do know there is a similar car to mine with different wheels same grill and WRC spoiler...

Also there is Red one floating around Portsmouth all colour coded.

[V8 Dave]

Yeah, that car ended up on eBay recently after being driven to Bulgaria to be broken :(

There's loads of them round here. I came out of Sainsburys last weekend to find an identical filthy black VRS parked next to mine

Hi Dave

That was me in bishopsfield rd, take it your bit far from the college?

[V8 Dave]

Just round the corner from it bud! Car looks sweet BTW! Seeing loads of vRS's round town now!

[Octy 4x4t]

Cheers bud, yours too, slowly gettin there but the other half moaning I spend to much on it lol, is yours standard or not?

[V8 Dave]

Pretty much, other than SAI/N112/N249 delete and compbrake DV. It'll be having an exhaust and map soon though, and the grill will be plastidipped this weekend and the spiders will hopefully be done this summer

Spotted your black grille, what about yours?

[Octy 4x4t]

That's about it really, had my mate make me up an exhaust, got a cai on it, thinking about taking my fly eyes off as look naff up close. Need a remap but the other half will moan like hell lol

[V8 Dave]

You got vagcom bud? Does it have a 6032SJ ECU in it?

[Octy 4x4t]

No vagcom, only basic reader and no idea if it has that ECU, how do I find out?

[V8 Dave]

Need a copy of vagcom bud. Whereabouts are you located anyways?

[Octy 4x4t]

Near fareham college, is it worth getting then?

Yes mate, even just the shareware version with one of those blue eBay cables for six quid is fine. It'll let you read and clear any codes that may get thrown up. I'll PM you, as you're literally round the corner from me

[Octy 4x4t]

Lol that close ay? Only codes I had so far was the 1705 DV leak but cleared that with my reader and one low voltage code can't remember what it was.
