DeanTT 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Hi all, First proper post plus pics. I picked her up on Saturday and have only just had the chance to take some piccies. The car's great, in-fact I'd go as far as saying its a superior drive to both my old S3 and TT, if a little slower. Car has a few issues that need dealing with but I'll post in other areas to find out whats best to do. So for now, here is my little green rust bucket :D The cars a little photo shy on its near side I have a load more photos to go through but its just far to late for that kind of thing! Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted May 30, 2007 Looks far from a rust bucket! 8) Nice colour too, I briefly had a valver that colour a while back! That ride height is crazy though! I've never seen a valver so high!! :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeanTT 0 Posted May 30, 2007 That ride height is crazy though! I've never seen a valver so high!! :shock: Haha, tell me about it. I was offered -40mm springs but the ride is harsh enough as it is on the 16yo dampers. Coilovers soon me thinks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted May 31, 2007 Yep, i think some coillies are required... Other than that looks like a good car, paint looks nice as do the rims... Any plans for it??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeanTT 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Any plans for it??? Well, fisrt of all I have to see to a little bit of debt but come Sept I should be able to start throwing some serious money at it. For the immediate future I'd like to sort out the following.... Bosch aerotwins so that I can actually see when it rains. New headlights so that I can actually see when it's dark. 3 Bar grille (already purchased) Sort out why it stinks on short journies Sort out the clunky steering Sort out the outside temp guage (today it read -22 :cuckoo: ) Sort out the squeeks from the interior, its louder than the stereo! Not have four tires that are different from one another. As for the future, I want to keep it as OEM as possible with a few custom touches, nothing too maxxy power though... New boot lid New Bonnet New front N/S wing Coilovers New alloys or, maybe a refurb Respray in Nogaro blue (high priority 8) ) with the possibility of some smoothing in areas Demi leather and alcantara re-upholster to the seats, and/or new front seats from current S3 General refurb of interior, was thinking Alcantara headlining, maybe some alcantara on the dash (sounds awful looks good) New Dials Some engine mods but needs to be reliable really. Generally just make it as nice as possible 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Looks good. I like rados in green.... Trying to work out where you took those photos, looks familiar.... Car park by that pet place that used to be Les Smith's on Andover road? If you need any parts, or a hand doing any work give me a shout... I've got a couple of bits knocking around :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeanTT 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Hey Toad, Thanks for the offer, you do realise what you've just let yourself into don't you??? Photos were taken outside a little indutrial estate near Wherwell!

Toad 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Lol. I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not been lowered yet, so it's easier to get under. That makes me happy. :D I guess I didn't recognise the building where the photos were taken then. Haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
