We need pics of the 1200!

The metal is really soft. It took nothing to bend it when I was trying to pry it off.

I tightened it a lot. Rattle gun and then double check with the bar. I have a thing about lug nuts. The locater trying was stuck in the rim when I took it off.

Firstly, I don't need shit. I've been giving myself enough of it to last a lifetime. For 10 years I've wanted to put spacers on my cars and never trusted them. Too many bad stories. But for some reason I thought I'd get some cheap Chinese ones from eBay to put in while I did Springs and shocks. Well... I dropped the car back down and took it for a test drive. It started clunking from the rear within 10 metres from my house. I immediately did a uey and went back home. I found that 3 of the extra length lug nuts were finger tight. I pulled the wheel off with the expectation that my Springs were out of the mounts and I noticed the state of the spacer. I had to heat it to get it off and beat the bejesus out of it with all sorts of tools but, here she is in all her glory. I feel extremely lucky. I'll never use spacers again.

That looks amazing!!!

Looks awesome! Can't get over how much space you have!!

Hi Ryan, welcome! You might want to start a new topic rather than adding to an existing one. I love RS3's!

Thats very similar to myself. Its nice to know its not just me.

I like the one "If you don't turn the steering wheel you'll end up where you're headed." End result for the weekend was a partial failure. The car isn't back together and I've had to order some parts to finish the job. Good thing we're still working from home a lot. I do definitely find that getting started is my biggest hurdle. Once I'm working I can keep going for a while. If I don't get what I need done I find the night difficult because I get stuck in my own head and can't escape the feeling that I failed or that I wont have the motivation to start up again the next day. But, that said, I do solve a lot of the problems when I'm not thinking about them - this is a key part of meditation. When my mind is on something else my subconscious mulls over the problem and delivers a result. Happens a lot.

Hi Robert! Welcome to Any pics of the car? I'm assuming there wouldn't be too many R32's around over there.

Clearly there was no issue as you can see i had no problems adding this picture.

ok ... so ... there actually *might* be a problem. *If* there is a *probem* I *might* be looking into it.

Not sure it was a problem, maybe making stuff up so you can complain? Uncool.

Ha! That's funny because I just had a look at some YouTube videos and I'm face palming at a very simple mistake I made. And you're right, a solid sleep because everything hurts can only be positive.

We've all been there... It's too dark to continue working but you do so anyway. You're getting more frustrated every minute. You haven't made near the progress you thought you would because again you underestimated how long this job would take. "Couple of hours, easy..." You reluctantly call it a day and pack up. What can you take from this? Is it still enjoyable to you? Will you be keen to continue going in the morning? Will that f**king bolt that wouldn't come out play on your mind over night? I need to know what keeps you guys motivated when it doesn't go to plan. Hopefully I can feed off your suggestions to be ready tomorrow to keep going.

Damn sounds mental. I look forward to the updates.

Like, do you even *need* 2 turbos?

You absolutely can talk about everything. I have 2 BMW's myself. But it doesn't mean people here will know what you want to learn.

Welcome Richie!

Brembos look great! Well done! Love the HQ!

What kind of engine management are you using? Is the engine in the original car?
