    Very nice mate,just needs lowering now!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    It's tempting. The springs on these do tend to fail also but I'm reluctant to do it as it might ruin the ride

    Eibachs are good as they are progressive,so they are standardish feel,but stiffen up when really leaned on!

    Ideal. I'll prob still wait til these fail else I'll start the slippery slope of spending on the daily which tbh is perfectly fine as it is

    Nice daily, remap will give about 60ftlb more mid range torque and with a front mount and de-cat will make 230ish bhp with the turbo that came on them. The 180's had a bigger turbo than the 150's and can flow 250bhp worth of air when pushed to the max. Convert it to rear wheel drive like I have on my coupe, the transmisions are bullet proof and you'll get better MPG.

    Few jobs tackled today. I picked up a few parts from tonya4 last sunday to start bring the QTS back to how it should be.

    First up was replacing the headlight that got damaged by the previous owner.

    Swapping the HID's from one unit to the other







    While I was there I decided I should give the bay a quick clean as it has years of grime under there It's by no means perfect at the moment but it's an improvement.

    Before



    After



    While I was at it I also picked up some new lower door trims from tonya on Audi-sport (thanks again mate) as mine were in a state





    Fitted



    Much better

    Finished off by giving it a very quick clean and polish, I will get it machined polished one day to get it as good as it can be Wheels are also on the todo list..






    Just need to get the new wing sprayed and fitted now



    To solve the issue with the sunk filler in my current wing



    Trying to keep the spend down on this one as it's only my daily. I do really quite like it though if i'm honest
