The only things left you could do are go stage 2 with a decat downpipe and/or gut the backbox. I've even seen people remove the backbox entirely and replace it with a Y pipe to the exhaust tips on Golf R's and it makes them immensely loud but haven't heard an rs3 who's had this done. I had the...

Am running apr and the e85 file is night and day different to 98 so I'd assume unitronic would be the same. Acceleration and launch feel much more visceral and can feel it all through the rev range when you put your foot down. I now run e85 about 90% of the time. In terms of price I'm not from...

Agreed with above, heat soak is a big issue on rs3's especially doing back to back runs on a strip, track driving or even just driving hard on the road. Plenty of options out there like wagner, iroz, apr, etc which all show a large benefit through their testing

On launch mine has that issue. Feels like it picks up to 40km/h real quick, stutters for a bit till it gains traction and then it's off. I thought it was because of my tyres since they were relatively worn so I put on a new set of 255/35/19 mps4s and the problem still persists. Haven't tried it...

Not necessarily APR but stage 3 e85 is really pushing the limits of the stock block from what I've understood (my garage is an apr dealer and told me this). They weren't the ones who forged my engine either so it wasn't like they were trying to sell me on the idea. The one case where I know...

What the absolute f*** is wrong with UK's insurance system? Honest question.. You guys need to declare mods (even minor things like intakes and tunes) Young drivers nowadays need to have this ridiculous big brother blackbox to get insurance??? Guess I would've been driving without insurance...

Have done exactly this but have heard plenty of horror stories of bent rods, etc so I forged the engine to lessen the chance of any issues. I exclusively run the e85 file as the petrol station near my house has it and there is a solid difference, especially up top and mid range. Whether or not...

Fishy indeed Like ya vids Hamza and I don't know why I care or am even remotely invested in this so I won't comment any further after this post but it definitely sounds like damage control. Oil and plugs would take an hour and the map not much longer so I still don't buy the 2 weeks but I'll...

Have watched Hamza for a while but I doubt he'll get into the real reason or instigate drama over this especially when it's likely he would've got a large discount (or maybe even free) on the tune and hardware from Infinit to gain them some publicity. In saying that I think it's very telling...

Not from the UK so won't comment on the different packs but in terms of what I think is essential would be the audi sports exhaust and the supersport seats which are the same base as the standard ones but look miles better and a must for future resell imo. What I will say though is to look for...

Look at that opf garbage on the downpipe when he's comparing them all. Nice to see it transforms the sound from a POS should of stuck with a golf r to proper exotic rs3 sound. Is it really that bad? In Aus we don't have to declare any mods to insurance companies unless its something extreme...

Couldn't resist:whistle2:

Seriously, these people need to have their license cut up.

Geez that M140i is an ugly car. M2 is worth the price hike over it on looks alone. I'd agree with what everyone else is saying and go for a pre opf fl rs3. I went from a stage 2 pfl to a now stage 2 fl and wow at the difference. Pfl sounded a fair bit better (both were decat) but the fl is...

I stand corrected if that's the case. I only made 660nm on my pfl with every single bolt on (minus the turbo) and a full decat on a high torque file so another almost 100nm seems bizarre but I have heard that mrc push big figures. Granted I haven't seen the graphs but as Shawn says if it peaks...
