Daytona Grey RS3

[Bronk]

Seen u scoot past me (white Tiguan so I wasn't keeping up) and off M1 today about Moira. Looking well

Was on way home from training, noticed the tiguan - white looks so well in them

 

[Bronk]

Been doing my research on air filters.. some of the carbon fibre induction kits for rs3 are ranging from £700-£1200 with most not making any gains at all and a few actuality loosing bhp

The good old trusty K&N panel filter is the best bang for buck going by the owners clubs as it has proven gains over standard and found a brand new one on Ebay for only £45.. checked the k&n website to make sure it fitted my car and all matched up

Its some size, didnt realise the air filters where so big on the rs3

My cousin will hopefully throw it in for me this week since i dislocated and broke my finger last week on that note if anyone wants to wash the car for me for the rms meet

Aye your battery fell out
Then when it did start the neighbors were ducking from your anti lag gun shot machine

HG Motorsport also do a nice intake pipe which compliments the filter well and is generally as effective as the full carbon setups on the PFL (unless going for big power).

Intake Pipe 3.5" for Audi RS3 8V 367HP

This suction pipe with a diameter of 89mm continuously without hems or reductions is fit for Audi RS3 8V models with 367HP. Facts: - improved engine response and optimized flow characteristics of the intaken air -...

Was reading about them pipes as well, must keep a eye out for them

 

[slapshot_99]

They seem decent quality and fit is good, but make zero difference (as does filter). Maybe would be more of a benefit on a mapped car.

My aim for rest of this year is

• Air filter
• Secondary De Cat
• Spacers

Then in the new year get a map.

Still not sure about lowering due to front splitter and side skirt extensions

 

[Boydie]

@Bronk no issues for me - 19's, maxton extensions, rieger splitter and lowered 20mm on h&r springs

I was able to negotiate anne square car park no problem last night

 

[slapshot_99]

Is there anywhere locally that can recalibrate the mag ride if you go with springs?

Thats another reason thats making me hesitate with lowering, i rang Audi to see would they recalibrate the mag ride after lowering and due to after market suspension they wont touch it

Spoke to Paul the rs specialist out in Gilford and he said he has lowered a couple of RS cars without re calibrating the mag ride and said they are fine after.

Ill go spacers first and make my mind up from there

 

[Bronk]

Came across 12mm & 15mm spacers for sale on the Northern Ireland Audi Owners Club at humble money and it would have been rude not to since they have been on my to do list.

Originally had planned to go for 8mm and 12mm but im glad i took a chance on the wider ones, as i dont think 8mm on the fronts would have done the front arches any justice.

Pictures from the car parked up today at the dollingstown show.

 

[loliver]

Looks fantastic

 

[Chris100]

Amazing what a difference a small mod can make, my current car is the first I ever fitted spacers to and it will certainly be the first thing I fit to any future purchases,

Yep its crazy the difference spacers can make

Looks great Bronk. Didn’t get seeing you at Gracehall today, but spacers look a good job in the photos.

Cheers bud, was there only for 30 mins then home again.

 

[alastair]

Very nice Bronk. Health to drive big lad.

 

[southsky sunrise]

Very nice sirrr

 

[Burt2000]

Going by those pics it doesn’t need lowered imo. Spacers and skirt extensions seem to make it look lower, save the money for engine mods
