Nice Buttertubs vid, and all your vids mate. I did Buttertubs last year in my old S3, it was an awesome drive. Well, until I got too much air then bottomed out on landing and ripped the sump off. You live and learn...

It was the first time I have driven it and I was impressed the road surface was not too bad but the surrounding roads where terrible

Too much air!!! God what speed were you doing?

[Acidpopstar]

Well within the national speed limit. Can't remember if it was Buttertubs or an adjoining road but it had some 'challenging' humps and bumps !

The road that takes you north from buttertubs has lots of hidden dips and crests I.nearly got caught out a couple of times

Stack binnacle arrived thanks to GiGo



Fitting commenced



I got it 95% finished just struggled to get the dash to fit properly at the back of the binnacle will try again when its not dark and post the finished pictures.

[Rickwoo118]

That looks like too hard work. I bet it will look nice once finished.

Don't let the light stop you from working

[Sammyturbo]

So cracked on this morning got it done but made it twice as hard as I could of by forgetting to plug the starter button bad then putting dash screws steering column and dash plates on so effectively I did it twice and the dash screws are a nightmare to get in with out dropping down the back of the dash ! I note have two lost screws just hoping they don't rattle !

Anyway pics







Looks really good now it's in ! Time to start saving for door cards and triangles now

[Rickwoo118]

Looks good. Like you said you need other carbon bits to finish it off. Where's it going stop?

Like I said get the door cards and triangles and probably shoulders if they are available then finish the interior with corbue le pro seats in black and gray ! Then all the red is gone from the interior

Shower cap came today. Fit's perfect and should stop the screen freezing/plug wells filling with water

[Rickwoo118]

The shower cap fits nice. You still driving it through the winter then?

[Sammyturbo]
