Re: My new car. TTQS
Shouldn't be that much? £18 if memory serves. Granted it's expensive, but went with it based on replies from the AS.net lot.

Re: My new car. TTQS
Well after a weekend of rain forecast I didn't think I'd get chance to fit the tip over the weekend. Woke up Saturday morning to sun so got it fitted -
Managed to snap my N75 valve but luckily managed to get hold of the new revised version of mine. Havnt had chance to log the car but even the bum dyno shows it made a big improvement.

Re: My new car. TTQS
Sorry, mis-read that chap TomSx.
Also, noticed this?
http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/118673-benjamins-s2000-air-filter-mod-3.html
My Jetex filter killed my MAF in about 5k miles, so this looks like a good option for noise and MAF reliability...

I'd not cottoned on to them. Just ignored the sticky thread as a panel filter mod!

Re: My new car. TTQS
Yeah brings the paint up lovely. Just needs a proper clean rather than the polish special's its had in its time.
Thanks mate. Im chuffed with it and glad I didn't go black.
Which S2K filter did you buy? They seem to different colours depending on where you get them from. I might buy one for a giggle as its nice and cold out there at the mo.
Im tempted by an exhaust but my car has a specific system. £680 from Milltek.

Re: My new car. TTQS
I just went to Honda and haggled. £27 list price, greenish plastic with blue filter. Looks weird, but I honestly don't care. Worth reading the S2000 thread about heat. People have found 4g/s uplift over a heat shielded Jetex filter with a 3" TIP. Remember the filter goes to the turbo, so air temp is not really a factor as it will be heated up by the 150'c turbo anyway!
Agreed, love to see the car, Tom.

Re: My new car. TTQS
Mine has started rattling when cold - Ant thinks it's the baffles at the rear. So looks like I might have to get on. Unsure on what route to take however.

Re: My new car. TTQS
Thanks mate. Agree about the exhaust too.
I really do. Would be a laugh to come meet "The Unit" crew. Ooo we'll have to arrange a date.
Ah yes the green ones. I might look for a black one. Is it loud?
If you haven't got a heat shield all the TT boys buy these to go with the S2K filter - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/S3-A3-Air...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e86c9e2b6 - only £26.00!

Re: My new car. TTQS
No no, the Jetex that I use to use before it became quite apparent it was messing with my MAF. I bought the kit as a whole from Bill, B5 V1 TIP, Jetex (which was replaced with their V2 filter as the necks broke on the early ones) and DaveS3's heat shield. Yet to log with the S2000. Should have done it on the way back from the TTShop, but was more interested in the weight difference of my wallet, after a £420 cambelt service

Re: My new car. TTQS
I see! Yeah do let me know how much you want for it all.
£450? Christ. At least you have peace of mind the lot has been done. How was the TT shop? All the TT owners rave about the place.

Re: My new car. TTQS
Yeah true. Yeah... OK. I mean, they did exactly what I asked without fuss. A bit cold on arrival and not chatty when asking about modifying the S3, but commented that it was jolly clean etc It wasn't the same user experience as AmD or Awesome where they keep you chatting, but if they've sorted everything (and were the most competitive on price!), I'm not sure that matters...!

Re: My new car. TTQS
You can do logging on the phone apps nowadays. Just get a Bluetooth dongle.
Probably as you're a S3 owner tbf..lol!
Anyway, if you want to sell your heat shield, let me now. Oh and a price on the jetex filter too whilst your at it.

Re: My new car. TTQS
TBH that's unfair of me. It was the lads there that made it a chatty atmosphere, having stuff done to their cars.
