2016 RS3

[Chris tii]

Class! That must be seriously rapid. HTD!

 

[Tufty]

Excellent then!

HTD hopefully see this one about this year at a coffee meet or something. I’ve a 5 cylinder itch too I’ll have to scratch at some point in the future. I also love Volvos so can maybe roll that one together down the line lol.

I too am a Volvo fan would love an 850 T5 but I can never see that happening so this will do for now.

Im looking forward to seeing how well it drives and how well it puts the power down. Also looking forward to having on a few tracks.

Different angle of the spoiler I will get better pictures when I get it home.

I might change it for a more subtle carbon one if I can find one.

 

[Ben]

That’s unreal Tufty, it’ll certainly shift.

I think Red Audis suit gold wheels really well. I know this is a saloon and a facelift, but gold bbs style wheels could work so well.

 

[Tufty]

@Ben yes they really do you could be on to something there.

I might have to buy some bbs splits.

 

[stuartyvilla]

That looks great and 620bhp it'll certainly move! I quite like the spoiler but agree with others, a lighter shade for the rims would help show them off, health to drive!

 

[Carson]

Get the washer bottle emptied @Boydie

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

Class. Wheels are perfect fitment.

 

[McFall1984]

That’s lethal
Health to drive
Can’t wait for a video once it’s home an all

That's going to sound incredible. If you have 15 minutes some weekend and you're passing Waringstown..... I've an 18 year old A3 owner here in the house who would give his right arm for a passenger run in that!

Thats no bother at all I will swing over some evening.

 

[Jonny_W]

That is just something else, not normally a fan of these but that looks fantastic and I would say will go scarily well.

Health to drive!!

 

[bora-gav]

will have to look/listen out for this hitting the roundabouts between craigavon-lurgan HTD

First thing you need to do is replace the transfer box bearings as they are pure junk from factory .replacement bearings and seals are like £150 and a new box is £3700.
That will be a sharp car .

Its something I have thought about recently too with my car now on 92k - not something I have looked into or read about though doing preventative maintenance like that - any documentation?

Thanks a lot for this info this will be my first port of call.

 

[Ian A]

Holy crap Tufty, that looks superb.

Will now doubt be a weapon too.

 

[zafturbo]

TPS do the seals and I think 2 of the bearings and then u will need to get the main one elsewhere.this and rear diff keep really well serviced chum .in saying that the 3 that I have been involved with had full service and still they all went under 30k miles .

 

[HCviva]

Nice buy really looks the part !

As in for the repair work .? Friend done it and was the first I have known on any of the Audi forums to rebuild one .all the main guys said it wasn’t possible .bearing at the time had to come from Poland but they are easily available now .
@Boydie gardner transmissions in cullybackey I think does them now and I’m sure there are others around the country .I would do it 100% on yours if it’s the same box as mine .3 cars I know locally had to do this and none had over 35k on them .

I have a feeling the boxes are different in the RS3 to the S3 but not 100% sure

To give context, I have 92k miles on mine now, serviced every 10k and launched 100+ times with nearly 500bhp not saying at all that mine can't go but those cars going with that low miles is just making me think the S3 is different (had a RS3 FL friend have theirs go too)

 

[Tufty]

Collection Day has arrived.

It’s such an awesome car to drive and easier on fuel than my S6 which is great news for the pocket lol.

Just landed in Liverpool so going for some food then on to the boat.

 

[bora-gav]

Flashed the lights at you there heading into portadown. Must say that thing looks mean, I do like that rear spoiler too

 

[Todd]

Love car collection day. Hard to beat that feeling and the drive home to the boat!

Blue Audi??

I like the spoiler it suits the lines of the cars and I’d only change it for a carbon version.
