    What's up guys just joined up to the forum after a member directed me to the forums after reading about Raiders bumper fix for the MS3. I had about 2 years I was active on the other forums but came back to find out a new site was up. Most of the movement has died out on other websites & can see its lively here. Glad to be back on some level lol.

    Background on the car its a 2010 genpu in Silver which I bought used back in December 2013 which was when I started joining forums for the platform. Went nuts from the getgo with the car HPFP upgrade, AP V3, CS 3" Intake, 2nd cat delete, Matt Damond motor mounts all around, Fidanza flywheel paired with a Luk clutch, ETS TMIC, braces from GT Spec, Koni Yellows paired with Swift springs, Whiteline bump steer kit & front control arm bushings, CPE Triton 3" exhaust & planning to install a downpipe on the car. Sooner or later I will be building a motor trying to make plans to purchase the items I need slowly over time instead of having the whammy when the motor goes.

    Thanks man. Spent somewhere around $500 for them but one of them busted at the adjuster valve point so had to get one asap to get my car on the road. Koni let me know to send in the strut for a replacement.

    Thanks for the welcome man.

    Its more than what I am seeing else where even if it is slow this week lol. I'm usually up for bs'ing & time wasting. Stuck at home after an injury to my shoulder & my doctor throwing me on disability, the worst to be stuck at home with very little to do.

    If the K04 dies prematurely, at least an S3 will take it's place. Otherwise I'm donezo.

    I agree with this. BNR's have been proven to be pretty reliable, cost effective, and easy to install/tune turbos. Only until you start getting bigger is when I have seen people branching out.
