Been a while since updated the thread.. with it being a great afternoon decided to take the car out for a drive for once and ended up over dundrod direction and couldn't resist a couple of pictures.

✅ Wheels off - front and rear cleaned

✅ Arches washed and cleaned out removing all the grit and dirt that hides in the arches.

✅ Front disks freshened up and bell housing cleaned and polished. You don't realise how big the front calipers are until the wheels are off 🤯

Treated the RS to its Christmas gifts aka anachem treats today when had an hour to myself for once and rolled back into the garage after 🙈🙄😂

No updates but thinking about upgrading the current MMI to apple car play as ive been thinking about it since ive had the car to help modernise the screen lay out. Had it out a few times during the cold snap and i must say like most turbo'd cars it loves the cold air 😈 🐌

Wee lick of polish on the bottom lip of the exhaust or are they too far gone? (common)

No major updates on the RS3 except found this on Ebay for a couple quid - its the pricing and spec guide for the 8v Rs3 - some of the spec i didnt even know existed!! This guide will go in with the rest of the history and paperwork belonging to the car.

The car just about to turn 36k and i will have owned it now for 4 years in june and driven 11k since ive owned it and its also the longest car ive ever held on 😱

The interior got a refresh using all off @Big Pimp anachem products and it looks like its just rolled out of the factory and this weekend the exterior will hopefullt get the same treatment and ill try get some decent pictures for once as well.

Probably late spring into summer ill prob go through my normal curious stage whether to keep it for another while or time to change into something else if i can see anything that tickles my fancy - prob is the rs3 does everything perfectly and would be hard to find something just as good with the noise ❤️

Did it ever get the revo treatment? Sale on this month 😈
Yes mate - round about a month after ownership because of the offer they had - transformed the car.. made it feel like a proper 'RS' never ventured further than a map, panel filter and secondary decat. The gains with a intercooler, front de cat and new map to make it stage 2 is minimal but the cost is prob about £1750-£2000 - not great value for money 😂

I’ve a set of scorpion decat pipes sitting in the house and going to order a panel filter too, what one did you go for? I take it you are around 400 or so now? Must be sharp they go well even as standard, torque at any revs lol

this is from the Revo website - seen rolling road results on rs3 owner page ranging between 400-430 be like every other car - some rolling roads more generous than others but yes - it goes well :imp: Ive just a k&n panel filter from ebay - was only about £40 if i remember
