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.

Airride - Random install pics (hidden setups)

Hidden setups are the stealth setups that allow for full use of boot space.  Usually an unflattering look though.

Tight spare wheel well not a problem for this bloke.

Note the distribution block for the air lines presumably going to the valves.  Not need for a valve block like the VU4 though of course.

A little different to your usual hidden setup.  This one hides behind a false wall behind the rear seats.  I'm assuming the compressor is below the false floor.

Another good use of space.  Maybe the tanks are set up for a peeping setup.

Mk4 wheel well I think.  3 gallon, a single compressor and VU4 block not a problem for hiding.

My bad, slightly peeping!

Neat hidden setup with plexiglass for some show.

As above.

Two tanks and two compressors in the wheel well.  I think this is a wagon.

Skinny 5 gallon, single compressor and a massive valve block.  I think this guy could've easily pulled off dual compressors.

Crazy hard line setup.  Dual compressors linked up before tank, not sure what the implications would be here...

THIS is awesome.

Definitely something I'm gonna aspire to making.
