Shit mate that's crap sorry to see and know the feeling I stood looking at mine for half an hour when a crazy drunk woman drove into it :( :( bad times ! But least you went hurt mate !

yea did have a look at that and am considering just a blade change to this type for the rear as will match better

just had my new arms and blades delivered today ! thanks to our known audi parts master Pat_McCrotch fitted today few adjustments and seem to be sweet but will know when rains i suppose and can always add a fine adjust if needed no issues or problems that can see now just need to decide on what to do with the back ether loose it or conversion of sorts ????

hey good job ,mate i have also purchased a obd2 setup from bigpants baby and im just waiting for the right time to tackle the swap im toying with charging mine maybe rotrex so am gonna do it all together maybe !! exelent job good to see the results from this and cant wait to do mine !!!! but expect some pms from me headded subject: ahhhhhhh .... help !!

heres mine

dude gutted or ya these little f*?!*rs just need to be shot or maybe maimed ar simply run down a few times what ever works best hope ya get it sorted man

thats interesting about it blunting throttle response to be honest i have never run the filter without the cold air pipe to see if there is any difference maybe next time i go out for a run i will take it off and see if there is any change

my views to the canister is fitted and is there for a reason so if not needed to remove it then why remove it the top pic kinda shows it under the filter

i relocated the carbon canister with mine and fitted the tube down in its hole to behind the bumper the carbon canister fits flat under where the cda fits and also acts as something to keep the air filter up so it fills the space nicley

hi thanks for the replies the of has a specific psu for this kind of purpouse it is 12v and turns the pc on when it get both a feed from the battery and the 1st switch ignition and then when the key is pulled out it will shut down the pc propperly the after a min it kills the 5v rail that is allways active on a normal pc And I have a wierles thing for updates ect I'm also thinking of rigging up a second connection with a mains psu so I can just run a mains cable out from the house and the whole pc system can run so I can do bigger updates without having to worry about my battery

hi all thanks for the comments yes the bit around the screen is leather it is a temp fill at the moment till i work out a better plan i have quite a tight space to work with and want the screen to sit at the level it is recessed in so i can create a blank pannel to cover it if left in dodgy places maybe with some fake dial faces on or something not saying where i live is bad or my car security is poor cos its most deff not but i have allways been of the vue that they cant be tempted buy what they cant see!!!! i think maybe a fiberglass hand crafted surround with a usb socket or two sunk in so i can plug a memory stick with updates and more media ect but for the moment the messy bit is hidden by the leather and its got a blank leather covered pannel for night time !! thanks for posting the picks they are usefull to see others ideas any one also done this in a corrado would be good to see thee ideas

ok all i have been thinking about doint this for a while now and as i have done the work to the car and it will now never be put back to standard again i have taken the plunge i have now built and fitted a full in car pc system involving the following : in car voom 2 base unit with custom car psu 7" wide screen touch pannel vga monitor intergrated into existing i.c.e the pc can run a in car front end software ie centrafuse or street deck ect also vag-com itunes usb tv it has all my midea stored all housed in boot and custom dash fitting

ok 1st thanks for all your comments its nice to get some poitive feedback and nice to be out and about in it again and 2nd hi simon no prob with the q`s ok lets see my seats are all leather exept a pleastic pannel on the back but not sure if early or late type one of my freinds has a tt with the same seats ill find out the year of it it might help i havent managed to work out the electrics yes i got a copy of the diagram for them but couldnt realy work it out but i will be looking into it and ill let every one know when i suss it out and as for the headrests mine are about 10mm away from the seat fully down and the mechinism works fine i think thats how they are mine slide up and down smoothly and come right out when you push the little button at the side hope this helps cheers nigel

hi we the fitting of the front seats is quite straight forward i havent got any pics of the mounts as yet but i will try to explain we used a steal square bar accross the back and flaired the ends to fit into the mount rail then bolted the runners fron the tt seats through this bar then at the font you have two mounts on the tt runners we drilled two holes in the cross member that the original raddo seat fitted to and you can put a bolt up through a nearby hole in the cross member to bolt down the tt seat thus resulting i 4 strong fixings in the 4 corners the seats sit in a good position and have there full range of adjustment i will try and take some pics of the fixing for you so you can see it more clearly and ill post them in the next few days

hi all well its finaly done vic test and new mot all done and taxed and road going again :D and thanks to the guys at HIC insurance for some top quality cover

thanks for more positive comments the handbreak gater was from ebay hear is a link for a current listing 9 days to go i took off the plastic gater and pulled the leather off the actual handle then pushed the new gater over the old handle and then fitted it back into position its quite simple really and they are a good quality leather and you can get any colour leather or stitching !

hi all had a good day today the car has finaly come togerther and is looking good full list of work is now done full respray Damson blue perl lowered 50mm all round on fk coilovers full magnex stainless system 17" audi rs4 replicas breaks overhauld and red with custom corrado logos new window trims roof trims and other replaced trim parts new 3 slat grill (body colour) inpro headlights and fogs smoked m3 rear clusters new style VR6 badge at rear Full audi tt leather interior swap momo trec r steering wheel ddi gauge kit with aly trim rings i think that about it now all i need is a vic check a new mot and some insurance and its back on the road !!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the coments guys i cant belive its been 5 months !!!! nearly id be out in the drive in the dark doing it now if it would help but alass my biggest prob is the VIC check that has a week wait list so even if its all back together this weekend then i will still have to wait another week to get it back on the road AAAAAAAHH

hi all its back and looks fantastic the purple in the colour is just right so now a big weekend if the weather holds out wheels to fit seats to finish and trims and stuff to refit so hopefull by nex week it will be all finished ill take some photoes on my digital cam of it in the sun over the weekend as long as there is some to show of the colour better

ok all its been a while since some work done but its finaly getting there it is now in paint i have gone a bit of shedule with the colour its now going to be a non vw colour its ford damson blue metalic its a bit different i know but i hope ists going to look fearce when its done hopfuly it will be out of the shop by friday so weather permitting i can start putting it all together ill post some more pics when its back

well i have had a weekend off from work s i thought id tackle the interior for the car i know how the front seats will fit so turned my attention to the rears we found it not to be to difficault we used the arms at the side of the seats to mount to the original mount points and fabricated a plate for the centre to mount from one of the audi plates its more clear with pictures now they are all fitted and look ok just need to sort out a fitment to hold the tops in and something to fill in the gap at the top corners and i still have the ability to fold the seats down
