Exhaust, FMIC and software - wont cost much now on the second hand market

Did you get Stage 1 DSG done as well?

Prob talking 1500ish 2nd hand if you can find a second hand fmic ☹ ( i search ebay all the time for the bits incase i see a billy bargain )

Didnt touch the gearbox software, from reading online and speaking to TG its more for stage 2 upwards.

£1500 for everything?

eg Revo FMIC is £800 new, all you'd need exhaust wise is the down pipe then software I think to upgrade to Stage 2 is £60 but then you'd have to factor in the DSG software which will be £500 so you wont be far off £1500 actually

Are these not 395bhp standard, and it’s only 405-425 now? Torquetronix are quoting 435bhp for stage 1.

Facelift rs3 are 395-400 bhp , pre face lift is around 368ish ( usually make more power than that on rollers ).

no major updates with the car except for it passed its first mot few weeks ago. Ive decided to take the rs3 off the road now due to the salt on the roads with winter finally here and want to keep it as good as possible with the way current rs3 prices are going 📈.

Got myself a Saab 9-3 2007 1.9 tid sport ( 150bhp ) for a good price of a friend of a friend whos dad owned it, 133k on it with lush cream leather and autobox :joy: Couple of marks here and there but its presentable and a good driving car.

I'm still working from home but couldnt pass on this incase i ever end up back in office ( would never park rs3 where i park for work) and will do for running about in from a to b instead of using the wifes car.

So the Rs3 will sit in the garage and im going to buy a trickle charger for it and hope sooner or later we get a good run of decent weather to get it out a run and to a few meets.

Hopefully over the weekend ill get a chance to get the car on axle stands and clean all the arches etc

Almost owned the car a year now... and just turned 29000 on the clock ( I've stuck roughly 3k on it since i bought it as ive a saab runabout) they say time flies when you are having fun :grinning:

Left the car into Paul @ Audi Specialist in Lurgan last Friday for a oil change along with haldex service, s tronic service, heath check and a couple of other things to keep the car in tip top condition. The haldex oils was down 9000 mile ago by Audi but you read all different types of stories on what main dealerships do and dont do during audi haldex servicing so for a peace of mine i wanted it done again by a specialist :grinning:

Brilliant service by Paul and the lads at audi specialist and he said the rs3 is one of the best he has ever worked on.. so was over the moon to hear that. He also updated the online service record and gave me a paper copy as well.


Couple of ebay purchases over the last couple of months, one being a Audi boot cargo net along with Audi roof bars for when we decide to venture away for a few days in the rs3.

Took the car a spin to Ballycastle last week on Wednesday for a match and its the most ive drove the car since before winter and its still such an amazing machine.. it just does everything perfect and its not sitting in the garage again and hoping to get to a meet soon in it.

Still to need to get proper pictures of it potentially down at oxford island some evening but with having a 18month daughter time is a wonderful thing :worried: :laughing:

My office has under ground car park in city centre, for some reason pictures always look ten times better down there.

Our office has moved and I have been given a space in one of the multi stories, not sure about that to be honest. But I’m still full time WFH so no big deal at the moment
