  1. << Looking for a set of standard STI springs.

    Anyone got a set gathering dust by any chance?

    Or failing that....a set of Prodrive ones.

    Im running Eibachs just now but im having problems with major clunking and need to rid the problem.

    Thanks >>

    Jamie your luck is in, as Cal said I have my set sitting in the Garage.

    Sorry I haven't been in contact but we have had a strategy meeting all this week and it's doing my nut in.

    I'll take the stuff out tomorrow and come and see you.

  2. << Well nice m8

    I think i might be getting a Touran 2.0 TDI DSG to replace my Sharan TDI Auto.

    Is the DSG really good Marc?? >>

    Cheers Peter, the DSG is cracking. I just remember old automatics that were jerking and horrible but the way this gear box works is fantastic. Takes a bit of getting used to and if you can't be ar$ed changing gears then you really need to be in Sport mode to get the best out of the box.

    As Cal said I think I'll be doing a descret mod in the future which should give about 180bhp and 300-310lbs Torque. Not bad for about £500 face-icon-small-happy.gif And it is supposed to improve economy when not nailing it face-icon-small-confused.gif

    Jon (jc scoob) phoned StarPerformance and spoke to one of the guys about chipping it, cheers for the link.

  3. Cheers for the comments guys. It's the A3 2.0 TDi S-Line with the DSG gear box and lots of extras.

    I know it's controversial for me to get a diesel and to make it worse it?s an automatic face-icon-small-shocked.gif but the car is great and it is just what I need at the moment. The DSG gear box is fantastic, in fact it is one of the best paddle shifts on the market at the moment. Still miss the scoob but this will give me a chance to save some serious muller for the next car once the points are off the license.

    So keep a look-out for me and make sure and flash.

    PS nice one Chris face-icon-small-happy.gif

  4. Peter it will not make as much difference on an STi as they already are silicon, but on the WRX they are crappy plastic which can crack on high boost/heat.

    Always best to upgrade your STi one if you are going for more power.

  5. Well yesterday was the last day with my STi, we had sold Joanne's WRX a month earlier and we both drove down to pick up my new car from Edinburgh. I have a lot of fond memories with the car and lately some not so fond so I'm going to be taking a break from fast cars whilst I wait for my points to be removed. Not sure if Joanne will go for another Scoob, time will tell.

    Big thanks have to go to Russell (WUZ) for all his help building and then unbuilding the car. I'll still be on the forum but I'll just have to be a wannabe scooby driver till time passes face-icon-small-happy.gif
