About My car
- Current Car
- A3 1.8T Sport
- Current Cars Modifications.
- I currently have a Purple Audi A3 1.8T Sport.
I'm pretty happy with the standard car - it performs and handles really well.
I also get 37MPG from it fairly consistantly (more on a long run!)
First up I need to convince my wife that the car is in need of some more Modifications.
Modifications/Planned Mods
-Panel air filter
-KO4 Turbo upgrade
-Remap (switchable though)
-Grooved and vented disks
-Sport Brake pads
-Braided Hoses
-Sports Catalyst
-Stainless steel sports exhaust
I have plans of taking the power to the 300 bhp mark. - About
- My last car was a Rover 220 GTi which I stripped and rebuilt.
I managed to get the NASP power to 175bhp, but there was a big reliability issue - perhaps it is just a Rover thing!
The one thing that wound me up was that the manufacturers performance gains were at best very optimistic, and they didn't tell you that certain Modifications require work in other areas.
This is partly why I started this site - to try and get a reference for modding cars that actually works in the real world.
I finished the 220 GTi project so 3 engines and 2 gearboxes later I decided to get a more reliable car which was easier to tune and went for the A3 (I shortlisted a Civic VTI-s and a 200SX but the A3 won and I'm dead chuffed with it;)) - Biography
- Married - no kids, no TV don't smoke and drink about 2 units a week!
