Hey all
Picked up my DS3 1.6 hdi sports pack last wednesday and really enjoying throwing this lil puppy around


I'm no stranger to owners clubs and have been an active member of the FTOOC for the past 5/6 yrs. Regularly attend all the jap shows and really enjoy the company of people with the same common interest
My current project is nearing completion and i went for the ds3 not for the consumption (currently getting a return of 43mpg) or the look (although all the chrome and Carbon effect did help) but for the way it handled for a little motor..seems to stick like poop to a stick!

My FTO at present, as i was saying is nearly finished and im selling up once done.... here it is :






as you can see i like my modifying ... really caught the bug since owning the jap rocket.

had 3 in the past few years and restyled them all ....

Anyways i do hope to be able to positively contribute to the club you've got here and hope to meet up with y'all in the near future

Love The FTO

You Modding The DS3 At All ?

[jimbo_GR]

ooooh, tbh i just dont know... was thinking of getting a bigger turbo for it as the one on it is pure puny, but and its a big BUT it does the job lol... cosmetics wise was looking at extending the arches, coilovers, hubcentric spacers and going for the dub look wheels and tyres....
Thats an ideal world lol... should the FTO go lol and the wifes kept happy

[ZACK]

arches, coilovers, hubcentric spacers and going for the dub look wheels and tyres....

I've Got A Really Busy March Ahead Of Me Ready For The HOW 2012 Show In Belgium On The 25th.

Roof + Mirrors Being Re-done In Blue, Smoothing The Front Plate Recess + Spraying, Dash Is Being Sprayed Blue, Need To Buy Tyres, Get The Borbets Fitted, Fit The Coilies, ReSpray Some Of The Engine Bay, Fit Both The FMIC And The Hybrid Turbo Which Are Sitting In My Bedroom haha.

[jimbo_GR]

GOODIES :P mind if i just clean myself up over here.... i had an accident :P
Gonna have to keep an eye on your project then dude... why spray dash? i take it you got leather seats? not thought of a suede flock ? off up to tamworth in the next couple of weeks for a price on the arches... if i can i'll get a quote for a couple of kits
wouldnt mind getting the front smoothed over too... hmmmm get rid of the big ass badge and put in a cold air infeed for induction.... now you got me thinking lol

[WTF]

Will just butt into the Bromance and say welcome

[ZACK]

Yeah I'll be Interested In Arch Work,

I Did Originally Buy The Borbets As A Staggered Set ( 10J + 9J ) But The 10's Stuck Waaaaay Too Far Out So Didnt Fancy Trouble With The Police lol Arches Woulda Sorted It Out But Didn't Really Wanna Mess Around With Them Over The Winter.

Cold Air Feed Is A Must ! This Is My Bay At The Moment ( Still In Progress !):-
