Cheers mate, once the engine and seats are done then that'll be it major mod wise for a good while. Need my own place, been back with the rents for about 2 month and I'm losing the plot.
Great updates Richard. With the engine work and interior finshed off, I can't imagine it'd need much more doing. It's one of the nicest cars around by far in IMO.
Good luck with saving for/finding a new place. Parents do have the best intentions, but my god I remember being driven wild when I was fleeting between home and Uni all those years ago
I hope things move forward soon for you buddy

In a nutshell it seems that the V3 doesn't flow like the V2. They are now working on getting it redesigned once again so that it uses the same materials as the V3 but flow like the V2. Niki is saying that the V3 flows around the same as the OEM manifold whereas with the V2 he has managed to get a lot more out of the engine
Rich have a look at the topic on Bills FB page re porting the V3 if you've not seen it.

He's been getting some good results.

The quality of the V3 sounds good with no extra bracing required and no trailers to date. If Bill has come up with a way of unlocking some more flow/power from the V3 then Happy days. He mapped an S3 the other day with V3 and got 298bhp. Which is the best power figures from a V3.

It looks like as long as you get the exhuast holes to match between the head and the mani you will be sort of ok...
But the other issue is the ID of the pipes is smaller versus the v2.
I have ordered another v2 to replace my cracked v2 - risky but I prefer power over reliabiity

Niki had some good ideas on how to strength and support it. Prawns is still going strong so maybe there's hope!
Cheers for the info lads, the V3 is being fitted, if I get no gains from it then at least I'll have a forged engine
Dropped the car off today for the work:
Also cracked on with sorting the recaro bolster out:
Some numpty decided to cut the fabric and stuff it as a quick fix:
I've also noticed a tab burn on the drivers seat:
Now I'm a smoker but under no curcumstances do I condone smoking in a car, why do some people not look after their cars?
And finally after humming and haring about these for nearly 2 year, these arrived today:
But they've sent the wrong washer bottle cap
I'm planning on getting the strut top caps engraved with an R too wonder how that'll turn out
