This is an enthusiast's guide for those who enjoy their 8L A3. Some aspects of the guide may apply to Volkswagen's Mk4 Golf and Bora as well as Audi's Mk1 TT.

My name is Raymond and I frequent a number of forums both local to Australia and global as rayray086. I've created this blog for me, as I'm a bit OCD in keeping all the info I need in one package. As of July 2011, my A3T is my daily driver and it is stock standard. I came out of an 8V Mk3 so there's plenty of power for me from the stock 1.8T. I'm mainly interested in the suspension and aesthetics side of things currently. I'm a part-time student currently and have no mechanical qualifications, just a passion in all things automobile.

I'll eventually use this as an outlet to document my build, so I'll be using the appropriate tags/labels to make them easy to find.

As I add info/articles/blogposts on, I hope you guys who make their way to my blog will find the information helpful! Don't be afraid to comment away either - I like getting feedback and knowing that people are reading this.

004 - Progress Sept '11

Thought I'd put up a brief update on what's happening:
  • Work wheels are in my possession; took them to the wheel specialist to check out whether it needs structural work - turns out they did.  I knew there was a crack in one of the 10's, but turns out both 10's also had buckles.  Spent the same amount fixing them up. Got 215/45's for the 10's, curious as to how they fit...
  • Received the HID's; one was faulty, but another $5 later, I got sent another one.  Received it not long ago, yet to test it out.
  • Bought and received a glass-look grommet for the wiper delete.  Pretty expensive for what it is but it should look good.  Fitting it later.
  • Oil change went well.  Response was smoother, but that feeling didn't last very long - felt like normal very soon after.  I suppose that's a good thing - the car has been taken care of :)
Progress will continue being slow as I save up for airbag suspension.  I'm slowly researching and writing up articles.  Hopefully by the time I have enough to make the purchase, I'll be knowledgeable enough to know what products I want.

Some pics of the Work wheels, thanks to Justin/dainese.
