Looking like you've got a handle on that thing now brother! Awesome lap!

Why bother cutting the body though?

Quick 😮

Wow! That’s got some lovely power 👍

Saucy lap! Congrats on the sub 2 minute!

Great lap!

150 down the Bentley straight impressive

Nice to see you back here, man oh man that Audi has all the power!!!. Well I just finished my TT and hoping to get to Thruxton for track day in October. You are an inspiration to all of us.

What a fantastic treat on a Sunday morning! Such brutal acceleration and handling almost defys the laws of physics!

🐌

This thing has such a violent acceleration.

Is that the np shifter?

Any updates? It feels like a lifetime since the last video. Are you at Snetterton this weekend?

What was the problem in the end Nick ?

Hi, I've been following your monster A3 for long time.. you own big pot garrett g turbo.. 700 tons of hp.. so why are you using little synchro 02M gearbox than big synchro 02A? More 4th gear and holed shafts issue with 02M. Lots of parts to beef to make it reliable. What I see once they put less pitch bigger gears inside 02A they can move mountains. But you went your way. Why?

what is best for 2.0 ?

Hey mate great videos, what turbo are you running at this stage? Also what exhaust manifold please. Watching with enjoyment from Australia

Waiting patiently for the next video 😌🥹😭

What are your wheel specs on the car I like the aggressive wheels

I've had a look through the comments but can't see an answer! Is this on 99 or E85?

Hey Nick I've just started watching your series on the A3 as I'm preepping my S3 for track days. So I figured I better start watching yours

I don't think the order matters much, Nick. The only thing I find frustrating is if we get a video showing part one and the second part doesn't come out for months. Regular is good in whatever order.

out of curiosity, did you weld the 34mil tube to the inner skin + the sill? or did you somehow get enough room to weld it directly to the chassis where you pushed it through the hole. Just wondering, starting to dive deep into tracking my golf 4 and my sills are shot

Glad you are still on track for Brands, we'll see ya there! Playlists, never underestimate the use of playlists. As for results, BARC exists along with other outlets for results - so I wouldn't worry about 'spoilers' (unless its attached to your car) 😆

Main shaft bearings 100% in the grarbox

Is the crank pulley moving when you press the clutch. If it is it could be crank thrust washers.

It does sound like a thrust bearing.

Looking well buddy

prorace engineering in Essex rebuilt my SQS 02M

input shaft bearing by the sounds of it

i know how u feel prawn im the same with the youtube videos on my channel ive got some thay are so far out of sinc i dont use them but got told by loads of people they dont really care they just want videos lol see you this weekend

Try Transgear in Southampton nick. I know people that have used him before and said he has done a good job. Fairly common box so may be able to sort you out if you take the box in. Its worth a shout

Sounds like the brearings on the power steering pump on my 06 sprinter.

Flywheel gone

I’d imagine it’s the input shaft where you’d normally shim it, under the cap. Could the dog box be putting excess pressure on that bearing? I believe there’s a limit on how much preload you can add with the shims, 3 shims IIRC so it’ll probably need that bearing replaced if the gap is too much

Try Gary prebble

Try Ben Corten miller

Sounds like the clutch release bearing to me. Is this after the drive yesterday??

It's bearing or possibly play in your flywheel?

what about AMD tuning or Darkside?

Come on you can do this. I live in Hampshire if you need anything getting off work Tuesday Wednesday. Wishing you all the best Nick.

🤞

Ditto....Foxberry garages(aka Helical Gearboxes in Brockley)!!

If I could help I would but mechanical engineering isn’t anything I know about ☹️. Fingers crossed you find a lifeline!!

sounds like a bearing cant help any more than that nick drop box an hope its fixable before brands .

Throwout bearing is usually opposite. Push the clutch in, and it gets louder. Gotta be inside the box. Maybe contact mike hood. He does tons of transmissions for the b5 platform. Scott @ advanced automotion as well. Is a huge transmission guru for audi/vw

Fingers crossed Nick you can get this sorted

Hope you get it sorted in time for Brands, i'll be down there for the weekend so was looking forward to seeing you out on track, good luck mate👍

Hope you get it sorted
