How much do you want for them Pat? It'd save me some pennies that's for sure 😉. I think that was what he's been planing, but the fella who does all the work has been of the last few days so hasn't been able to get an idea on labor time. How long do you lads recon they'll take to fit? Cat pipes can be done in an instant, but really fancy having them fitted for the drive back....😀

I don't think Cat pipes are instant fit but I've txt PSI and Andy has said couple hrs for them and the bolts....I'm sure we can fill that time nattering and nosing.......be good to get them done while we wait

Not very much has happened in the last month.....it's dragging quite a bit at present. Few pics from today that gif an idea of the amount of body detail going on. Hoping the underside and arches will be fully tetra sealed primed and painted within next few weeks

There so much fibreglass tying the arch kit to the body in the form of handmade inner arches and the detailing on the floor pan then this baby ain't never going to rust !!

The rear arches are starting to look good though don't you think ? Some big dished 10-10.5" X 20" wheels should get me the look that the kit was all about achieving

Can't wait to see some paint on it, that will feel like a major mile stone reached, even if it is just the floor plan

Thanks for the moral support

Having built up this great relationship with you lot I genuinely to hope that your all still into the RS3 and the forum when the car really starts to progress and even sees the road......
My next build will be an extreme motability scooter at this rate (anyone into NASA battery technology ?)

Nice one Roy your a good lot....seriously issues with new MkIIs already ?? No way

Anyone at Tatton Park in Cheshire this Sunday ???

Having heard about and witnessed the build quality, service and lack of caring from Audi dealers and customer service it's going to take me a long time or something very special (or expensive) to get me to buy brand new from them again

I'm seriously thinking F type R Jag now...anyone heard any bad reports ?

Stick with the build Pat it will be amazing when finished. 

 

You have a few awesome cars the M3 is nuts and the Leon sounds pretty mental too. Despite all the issues my RS3 is a love hate relationship and its nearly paid for so its a keeper. I may be coming to you next year for advice on Stage III + 

 

As for the F type R beautiful looking thing if you don't have snowboards or kids the RS3 leaves it from a standing start though let me see if I can find you a video ...
