Hello,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a short plate mount for the front of a FK8 Type R. Similar to the one in the below picture:

No he is classed as a Tuners (none-essential) so has to close. I understand he is looking to reclassify as a garage as most of his work is in Gateshead.

Well TDI is open, Paul can’t operate ... another delay. So transferred my tyres are getting fitted up here and hopefully Paul can open soon!!

Omg what is someone thinking [emoji848]
But that wing is illegal as it is wider than the bodywork!! [emoji1787][emoji23]

You won’t have an issue, I have never handed a PCP car back with the same size tyres as it came with bar once. I would like to find one garage that even checks the car for anything other than CAP standard for the valuation to add into your next deal.
Only fine you will get is if you hand the...
Well TDI North are staying open (so 1 out of 2), it is whether Paul will come in on Saturday for the tuning, find out in the morning as he is in TDI all day.
Mine is 2018, so all good on that front [emoji1360]

Well I will give Jamie a call tomorrow morning and see what the situation is. Been a long time waiting and hopefully with previous cancellations may consider keeping my appointment.
But if they close, they close ... nothing I can do. Just pain paying for Eventuri £1.2k 6 weeks ago. If they...
Garage is essential ... so should be open, first phone call Monday. Hoping as it is getting too much now ... in need.

Hello all,
Apologies if this has been covered.
I have an FK8 Type R with Intake and custom remap ...
I am looking to get the third service done in the North East, would you ...
1. Take it to a tuner garage, if so any suggestions?!?!
2. Still take it to Honda?!?!

I have heard the part resonate one which sounds lush, but fancied a little more noise which is why I am going for the race. Not sure if I will stick with it, but fancy a little asbo for a change ... always gone quieter ... call it a mid-life [emoji1787]

Yeah they are hoping to get sorted Monday to continue next week with minimal cancellations ... but 16:30 on Friday I was a bit gutted but tuning was the main part of my visit so a couple of weeks delay not the end of the world.
Unfortunately one of the engineers family tested positive for COVID @ TDI so Paul would not come in to do the tuning ... which is fair enough. So, all the guys there have tests booked for yesterday/today and going down on the 7th Nov ... so a little delay.

I use the Heko ones, great fit and no noise, it was a real pain to fit the clips properly but no issues and personally think they look good.

Yeah but you get some amazing results at the end.
In on the morning, last legs on the tyres and four new Michelin PS4S after [emoji13]

This be me next week. [emoji1787]
Hopefully by the time I go back in the new year they will have a new higher power pops and bangs map [emoji13]

On my wish list for the new year.
Intake, KTuber, Remap, Asbo Map & Head Unit next Saturday
3” Front to Rear Exhaust, Turbo Pipe & Upper Wing in the new year.

Well, looked through this thread and can’t find the post that suggested Auto Glym Polar Blast (add a thanks) ... totally converted.

But I thought this thread was “what have you done to your Type R” not “what is the beat price I can get for my Type R”

Well have to say I have a £9k plan for my FK8 Type R ... got no chance of getting rid ... bought to do what I have with all my cars ... power, stance, sound and performance.

Well I tend to spend big fewer times ... so I will be down there 1-2 times a year spending £1-2k at a time so the way I worked it with my Audi @AwesomeGTI was I did a minor service 1st time and major service 2nd time ... I have always serviced my tuned cars twice a year.

Looked at a few places but heritage, reputation and reviews TDI North won the flip. So going to travel there.
Same with my Audi ... Awesome GTI had my work even thought it was a 2.5h drive to them.

Well yeah I am 6 months from MOT I said I would keep dealer stamps till MOT, then when the tuning gets serious I would get a tuning garage stamp for the remainder ... as long as what needs to be done and the garage has a good rep ... I think selling a tuned car the tuning garage stamp is worth...
He knows the track very well ...
What idiot who has not done plenty at that track does not wear a helmet?? [emoji848]

Honestly, did not like the white of the FK8 when I bought it. But really starting to love it ... and the gloss on this is lush and what I was thinking of paying for a wrap I fancy getting this done [emoji106]

I am looking at a couple of new front tyres, done quite a bit of research on a few sites:
Goodyear Eagle F1 seem No.1
Vredestein Ultrac & Michelin Pilot Super Sport @ No.2

Something I have not really considered in past cars, but how much would you be looking to pay for a job like that? It makes the paint work look amazing.

I will certainly try ...
Being a VAG (now converted Honda) Nut I have got some big guns on some forums in the past, 4WD has been a big thing for SEAT and Skoda as they don’t get it, but if the systems works I think it will be a thing for a few people on here!!

Aww no offence taken ... I have raced with a few companies in the past and done faster laps in similar cars than my own. I have no issue pushing my car but it always yours and on a racer nicks and bumps are a possibility but you don’t want a crash or potential write-off lol [emoji2957]

One of my first project cars was a 1.8T Leon ... I did a 4WD conversion on it and with time and effort (6 weeks off the road) the system was flawless ... it was like the Audi equivalent with Quattro.
I am hoping that 9 years later the conversions of today will be better with no impact to the...
Some serious cars, Would still take the RS4 or FK8 out of the lot ...
Going to meet a guy who has done a 4WD conversion on an FK8 ... when I head to TDI North in October to see what it is like ... would complete the car.

No excuses but ring was busy and only had 5 laps, but I could have took time off but a little fear held me back a bit as it was my ride home [emoji52]

There are some amazing roads out there. Done a couple on our own and Rico Rally 2016 only organised one I have done as a mate was doing it ... Romania was still my favourite.

Accidents happen, but sure the owner and garage could have handled private. But embarrassing for the owner and a client “cock block” for the garage.
Remember having a BMW 435d 4 years ago on lease with work and wanted to charge me over £400 for door damage after 18 months with no issues from me...
Well picked up the car last Saturday, V5C back today so plates on. We will use this as the start point on a long planned build ... very clean, but a bit of a perfectionist so there are some paint work clean up needed to be perfect as a full start point!!

I had Audi S3 8P:
APR Stage 3, Custom 3” exhaust, VW Carbonio Intake, upgraded fuel pump & injectors, forged pistons and rods, Neuspeed pulley, short shift, lightweight wheels plus many others.
Ring Time: 8m 52s

Haha lol ... agreed ... a good intake with 99 Ron fuel to make the air fuel mixture better you may get 4-6 hp no more.
My Audi S3 8P was stage 1 and spent half a day on dyno and went through 6 different intakes and change was 6hp at best (to be fair was not the most expensive).

Hello,
I have the following diagram and looking for a little advice as electrics are not my strong point ...
Could anyone help with where to start and where I need to place the wires:
1. Thick Red
2. Thick Yellow
* Where do I find the starter motor power
3. White (Permanent +ve live)

Yeah, I don’t want noise ... I want exhaust to be reasonable sound ... few to look at and visit to hear ... but hks from internet videos kinda sounds like my choice ATM.
Your same as me, Newcastle living but not Geordie [emoji106]

To be fair I looked at the HKS twin tip looks really nice and the sound is supposed to be amazing.
Newcastle? Your a northern lad?!?!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
But, get what you want is a £50-60k price tag ... tuning allows you to buy the car, improve and build the way you want it not the way the manufacturer wanted it [emoji6]
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
What are you looking at? Custom exhausts are not always bad ... I have had 3 from past builds all from EMP in St Albans.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I would like stage 3/3+ where I take most of my builds I will go as far as hybrid turbo but not big turbo build. Be nice to be around 450bhp at about 1.2-1.4 bar.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
To be fair I was thinking on price but at current tuning on the FK8 there is not a lot that comes close the more you tune and just tend to try and not buy twice.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I always do my research before buying and performance to price may be that of the Injen but actual end result looking at stage 2 and beyond the Eventuri seems to perform better.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No never do. Don’t want to offend but I have had some really big power builds but all on the VAG scene in the past. Really wanted a change and test drove the FK8 and loved it so the start of something big here :)

The weird thing about this colour is some love and some hate.
I hated the colour when I had a test drive, then a week later when I ordered the car ... went for the same damn colour :)
Well Yesterday took delivery of my new Championship White Type R FK8 GT.
Today, Honda Hack to allow access to the Head Unit.
Tomorrow; book in for first stages of tuning ... and order Eventuri Full Intake System.
