My son got it for me, if I find out where he got it I will post one to you...

hey did you use a forge map sensor or std TT map pipe and sensor? I heard the battery tray needs cutting to gets pipes in?

 

asking as prepping mine soon 

I used the standard Audi S3/TT 225 pipe with sensor, it slotted in with no cutting required, but you need to remove battery and battery box.

good to know.

 

I will have to re place my CAI pipe as right where the hoses will route, plus the OCC can will need to move so a little messing on top of the FMIC install as well.

 

 

 

Finally got round to fitting my FMIC this weekend. Its only a Toyosports one but seems to do the trick. Kept it looking stealth with the original grills in place for now. All the nice shiney pipework has inspired me to start looking at some other under the bonnet goodies so watch this space.

 

Absolutely love this photo, stealth or what, brilliant

Cheers mate, just want to get everything spot on before I start tuning

I just watched mine sit there and get rained and snowed on while I walked to work :-(

 

The old girl doesn't get out much anymore, used to do 60 miles a day but she's semi retired now.

Cool, I can't wait to install my fmic which is about the same size, and of course, the mandatory remap after that 

 

In the meantime, my custom debadged, milotec looking, front grill arrived.

 

I am very happy with the result.

 

WHERES GRILLE FROM?

Not cleaning it. It is absolutely hanging and I should be ashamed of myself,especially at the green algae staring to grow on the window rubbers :peek:  . My poor excuse though is that I live/work on a farm in rural Dorset and at this time of year it is bloody pointless trying to keep the car clean.

Clocked up 1250 miles in the last week 140k now thinkning of retiring her for weekend use only and buying a boring family car lol

today i fitted a low level RCA adaptor to my dx head unit in preparation for a subwoofer. i thought i had grown out of that boom boom stage but i guess i havent yet haha. as for fitting the adaptor. . . . PITA !!!! never again

Definned the airbox and shoved a big old pipe in it, drilled some holes in the corner grill, go go gadget turbo.

Also fitted some nightbreakers and had OEM stat and cts fitted, goodbye pattern rubbish, and fitted a used door lock mech and got all my lights and buzzers back, yeah baby.

f/o/s wheel bearing replaced, brakes servo vacuum pipes replaced, tracking done. The temp gauge has started to play up again, not that long since I had a new sender unit and thermostat fitted, central locking has packed in and rear wash wipe water pipe needs re-attaching. just need to save money to get the jobs done oh and it need insuring at the start on next month, anyone got any spare cash they don't want (sterling please lol). Other than that I am still in love with it 4 1/2 years after buying it which is the longest I have owned a car in 42 yrs of driving,

Were they gen stat and sensor? Funnily enough had my front bearings done, o/s was the noise but did both. I put my grille back to standard but put new logo badges front and rear. White carbon from inside gone and just got a brushed aluminium wrap for ashtray. Trying desperately to get the seats clean, those white bits are a real pita, still the auto glym I tried this time did a good job on carpets at least. Oh and I put some pattern part indicators on because I was getting condensation, front looks so much better without those dirty edges I had on the old ones.

Also got my whiteline rarb fitted - brilliant. Think that's about it, as above I'm very forgiving of my car because I love it. With new bearings, rarb and strut braces on car is tight as a drum and a very positive drive, going well too.

Took it in for the MOT on Monday and it passed. No advisories :clap:

Only done about 1400 miles since last year

Mine's in for its Warrant of Fitness today, and the original rear discs and pads replacing!

would fancy uprated f&rarb's and front strut brace but just don't have the cash, suppose I could try selling swmbo
