New member RS3

[a3simon]

Alright been a member for some time but guess I've never posted. Anyway I bought a new RS3 in July not had much time to enjoy it with working abroad. Got alot of plans for it though

Any way here's a couple pics. It's racing mica blue or ford imperial blue if you prefer

[Jandywa]

Looks the bees in blue!

[TheLordJohn]

Nice colour, that. It must go well, as well!
As I am not really into German cars, does anyone know why they only make/made it in a 5 door...?

[a3simon]

Figured it's to do with not stepping on the TTRS sales with a 3dr

Better informed guess than I could come up with! Lol.

[Dave Hedgehog]

better watch out, your going to under steer of the road on the first bend you come across


love sepang

[Another Fluffer]

What are the plans you have for it?

Great cars.

[a3simon]

I have a set of cat Bypass pipes to go on then it is as follows

New tyres
Updated ARBs
H&R springs
Loba hpfp
Intake
Uprated inter cooler
Remap

Possibly the Loba LO500 upgraded turbo depending how long I keep it as I'm fancying an R8 S tronic next

[Another Fluffer]

Hoping for 400+ bhp?

Should be pretty achievable with the plans.

Love it. Go like st of a shovel don't they!

[JackTheLaddddd]

Love it, should be a right weapon when your finished

Quality motor. Ignore the morons who slate the vag cars on ph-when you look in their "garage" they usually drive crap ecoboxes. Lol

The r8 is quite a leap up though, but beautifully made.

[astirling]

That looks sweet. Very nice. And that's coming from an M135i owner...

Yes, disregard what someone says because they have a subjectively worse car than you despite not knowing what circumstances they live under or what they prioritise. If I could afford a Ferrari then I'd have one and you wouldn't be able to say st but seeing as I can barely afford to run the Corsa I have I'm not allowed to say a word. LOL.

Anyway, I love the colour on this, really suits it. Looks menacing as anything in the first picture as well.

Looks like it'll be an absolute weapon after the mods you've planned as well OP.

[Disco You]

The colour really suits it.

Do these have a similar haldex 4wd setup to previous A3s? i.e. they're mostly fwd, with up to 50% going to the rear when needed?

[Stewart-83]

I recognise the location, explains why it looks quite so clean!

nice colour, although not sure I would be brave enough

black for me
