Thinking about upgraded intercooler can anyone recommend a good one that will fit behind a standard bumper cheers

[Vw nut]

I recently had a 1.8t MK4 golf, but I am considering one of these in either audi or passat platform to lug some stock around at weekends in the near future.

Currently have a Volvo S60 2.4D which is going to my Mum for a while and a 2013 Ford Mondeo 2013 estate that I am going to Uber to the ground. So looking for something also for a weekend work hack that I can have some fun with and keep on fixing and moan about it.

Looking forward to some updates.

They are great cars handle really well for a estate

I don't suppose any one know if a Audi steering wheel from a later model will fit cheers

[Vw nut]

Ok mate already have a sports one needs retrimming the leather has gone

[Vw nut]

Been working on the Audi today trying to fit these recaros going to fit the 312mm discs tomorrow also did a bit of vinyl wrapping today in the interior not to sure I like it

[Vw nut]

So this morning started on the 312mm brake upgrade striped everything then noticed the new carriers I have are wrong the holes are to far apart think they are for a later model not what I want so need some tt carriers hopefully I can get this sorted asap

[Vw nut]

Yes mate I like mine drives really well good project car got some really good plans for it

I'm a big fan of the B5 Avant and the 1.8T - my second car was an A4 Avant 1.8T Sport, third car a 1.8T S3 (8L) and fourth car a B5 RS4! Just love the shape of the B5 A4 Avant.

My A4 Avant with K03 was remapped to around 190/200bhp and was nice to drive, much lighter than you'd think. The K04'd S3 was around 255bhp and the RS4 with two K04s was 440bhp and flew!

Would love to drive a a4. B5 rs4 i bet there crazy they sound mad
