Audi A3 T Sport

Well the mk2 has gone (hope this is not another one i will regret) but I now have a new project!

the spec is:

98(S) Audi A3 T Sport
118k folder of history including receipt for cambelt inc tensioner, water pump, thermostat
Revo stage 1 map.
Forge 007p
Coilovers.
17" RS4 replica wheels sprayed in Ford Mercury Grey.
A pillar mounted Boost gauge.
Climate control
6 disc changer







needs a little paint


couple of minor bits to sort but pretty pleased with it

Looks nice mate.

that front bumper looks a perfect excuse for an s3 replacement

Get the grille and badge the same colour as the wheels

If your paint code is LB5N Indigo Blau I have some spare tinned paint in the garage that i would sell for a small fee Check the sticker in your boot.

Nice new project dude Plenty of potential!

Looks nice dude! looking forward to seeing where this goes!

think its Ming blue?

As usual with my projects, things are moving slowly!

So far i have removed all the stickers as they are not really my thing (especially the "audi" ones on the wheels!), cracked a wheel and had it repaired (temporary fix until i get some more - thanks again to steve and steves bro - hopefully collecting 2 17" rs4 rims @ ultimate dubs for £40!), fixed a boost leak, 2.99 piece of silicon pipe from ebay was much better than what audi wanted for the pipe and wired the stereo up correctly!

Also had a good quote to get the bumper done (thanks mik @ MV ) but funds are limited as im saving hard for my wedding in august!


quality roads, glad i pay my taxes.......


offending pipe.


new pic, just because it was clean for once

Exhaust is the next thing to sort as its blowing badly and perhaps raise the coilies a bit as i seem to bottom out more than i did in the mk2 and its not even as low!

looking good martin

finally something to update!

firstly i had my exhaust welded so the car sounds load better now, and today i picked up a new interior for it!

Old seats like this:



new:







grey leather, its a bit lighter then i had expected but still pleased with and it was cheeeeeeaaap!

some slight wiring issues, My existing seats do not have airbags in but the leather ones do.

There are 3 wires on the plugs under the seats on both my existing seats and the leather ones but the plugs themselves are completely different.

Obviously I need to connect these or the airbag light stays on, so is it just a case of cutting off the different connectors and connecting the wires up? I dont really want to cut the plug from my existing seats as I have someone interested in buying them but if the airbag light is on I think thats an mot failure and am a little nervous mucking around with airbag wiring.

these are the plugs im talking about:

current cloth seats:



new leather seats:



any ideas?

Cheers

Just connect them up with some bullet connectors, i believe they are there for the seatbelt tensioners too.
