Snip of the first post, plenty more in the link above. Not sure if this has been posted before or it its Blackhawks mate.

Hey all,

Ok, so this is probably a little bit late to start a build thread on here, but better late than never I guess!! I think I had something on here a while ago, but it disappeared some how.. Anyways..

Ill update from the start, to where the car currently sits now, with some major changes about to happen in the near future its probably a good time to get going!!


So here goes.. (ill keep it short and sweet!)


2009 Audi TTRS in Phantom Black..

Started work with a custom carbon intake.. At the time there was nothing else available..

Next up was a full DP back Milltek Exhaust..

And some PIAA Xenon bulbs.. Expensive but work amazing, the quality of light is just outstanding!!

Then it was back to the appearance a little.. So time for some arch mods to make way for some H&R Coils and some 15/20mm spacers front and rear!!

Which resulted in this..

After all that, I decided that the Milltek wasn't quite doing it for me, so got some new parts

IMG_0184.jpg


And ended up with this as a rear section!

IMG_0186.jpg


And some comparison shots.. Spot the difference lol..

So at this point I was running with OEM software, OEM intake and Straight pipe exhaust. I then decided it was about time for a dyno to base line the car with these mods!

360hp / 370tq

And then back it up at the track..

Not bad from essentialy a stock car!.. I was pretty impressed.. But needed more, and the launches could be better with the addition of a WOT Box, something that I had installed on my previous 2.0T FSI S3..

IMG_0302.jpg


And then all hidden in the fuse panel.. Totally stealth!

IMG_0300.jpg


Well, kind of stealth!! lol..

Made a bit of a mess..

IMG_0307.jpg


Now it was time for some more mods.. Starting with H&R anti roll bars front and rear..

Custom solid shift bushings

IMG_0310.jpg


And a gutted stock Audi Downpipe..

We then went on to improve a little on the flow of the stock downpipe with some extra welding work..

Before

After

IMG_0342.jpg


Now the exhaust is totally catless, and no silencers.. Looks pretty cool, and sounded insane!!!

IMG_0334.jpg


Then it was onto the Haldex.. Nice new remote Gen 4 controller installed

IMG_0332.jpg


And poly bushed front end too..

IMG_0338.jpg


Along with a totally solid CNC lower engine mount

IMG_0344.jpg


And some home made stealth tail pipes.. From Audi they cost something stupid!

IMG_0343.jpg

IMG_0346.jpg


After all that.. It was time to go back to the track.. Remember, still OEM software!

IMG_0553.jpg

So a nice little improvement over the last time.. Launch helped a lot, and the suspension and Haldex too!!

Now some new wheels and rubber!!

Custom made Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 in a 18x10 ET45 fitted with 265/35 Toyo R888's

IMG_0586-1.jpg


And a comparison from stock side to side!

Now it was time to change out that abortion of an intake that I had made.. Far too much hot air being sucked into the engine bay, and with no intake available for the TTRS at that point, I went with a PiperCross filter in the stock Audi Airbox, with some little tweaks in the form of a cold air feed and heat protection..

IMG_1031.jpg

IMG_1032.jpg

IMG_1035.jpg


And blacked out the front and rear too..

Which brought me around to GTI International 2010..

Now with Stage 1 software.. Ran a pretty good time!!

But resulted in a roasted clutch and this..

Too much grip I think! haha..

So then, some new summer wheels, which changed the look a little of the car!!

And the first prototype intake from ITG was installed..

And then some tasty brakes!!!

Which also looked pretty nice on the car too

So that brought me round to the early part of summer 2011, where I felt the car needed a bit of a change.. So opted for a Frozen Grey wrap!

Time for a bit of a bigger turbo, thanks to Owen Developments, who played with the stock turbo, to achieve just under 500hp!
Seems pretty much a no expense spared build.
 
Love the wrap, but the paintwork wasn't bad enough to cover up in the first place! Made a monster out of a car which is incredible at stock anyway. The pic with the wheel's spinning so you can see the lambo brakes is sweet. Least it was done properly and not a halfords special, some thought and hard work actually went in on it.
 
that's a great build i bet you love driving it. this is other peoples dream being able to get a car like that and do that stuff to it, don't listen to the back biting its just bitter.
