Not doubting AmD's ability, but nothing speaks class more than forge products and coolers behind the bumper. A bit like wearing creed aftershave

Lol coolers to aftershaves..
I know what your saying mate. I just need to see what the AmD one is like and weigh it up myself and what I feel like doing at the time. I know 100% the Forge will be immense but I've got to give the AmD one a chance and see what it's all about on release.

The car is looking fantastic Tom. Glad to read that it's running healthy again. A new MAF is on my list for my cars next service.
As Richard (RDS) explained, I've also ran my N249 valve plugged in without any pipework for a couple of years and many miles without any faults having been thrown along the way. I wrapped mine in electrical tape and tucked it into the loom's heatwrap blanket just at the side of the rocker cover. The rocker cover looks so much better for it
Seeing your progress keeps us all motivated. Top work buddy

Thanks James
She certainly seems to be healthy again and driving very well so I'm chuffed. Cool, I'm going to stick the n249 back in but no pipework and just hide the actual valve somewhere like you say maybe in the heatwrap... I'll figure something out which looks tidy as I'm sure yours does. The rocker cover certainly does look better for it and it's also easier to get to the coilpacks now if need be..
Haha, I'm glad it does keep you motivated! Plenty more to come
Update
Had a day off work today so went to AmD this morning and got my strut brace fitted, and the rear of the car dropped a bit more, lol
Some pics from the day.
AmD working away on their Golf touring car for the BTCC season ahead.
CLS 63 AMG BI-Turbo V8 into AmD.
My S3 strut brace fitted.
No pics of the rear of the car. It's lower than it was but not stupidly low...
I spoke to a couple of people at AmD about it and they don't want me to ruin the handing of the car by going too low. It's at a good height for me now and will stay this way.

Nice work on the S3 brace. AmD fitted mine not so long ago and I was really impressed with their workmanship. Get some pics up of how she now sits with the suspension changes too

Didn't fancy it and had a day off plus payday so made sense. Done enough work recently on mine and a mates LCR.

Yeah agreed, they are top draw Liam. Always done well with work on my car. One of only a handful of people I trust with sorting my car out tbh. It's been there loads of times for various things now over the past 2 years.
I'll get some new pics at the weekend
Another update, they just keep coming.
Get some picture of the rear end, im interested to see how its looks.
