got sad at selling the RS3 so decided to add a weekend car to the garage. Bought this 2013 Performamce pack C63 the other week, I've had hot hatches all my life so decided I needed to experience a thumping V8, it's a lot different to what I'm used to especially the instant grip in the RS3 but in...

I had cat red and never regretted it once, the only it deffo needs is the black pack, mine had it and another car down my road never had it and they looked miles apart in terms of looks imo. Deffo needs black wheels aswell

80k with decent options and look at the rolling race!

The big rumour is that the new RS3 has had its exhaust slightly toned down, some existing RS3 owners have said they've been called in for a 'software update' and come out feeling like the exhaust was tamer, going videos of performance exhaust RS3 saloons on the web I'd have to agree it's not...

You have got a lot more Golf R's on the road than RS3 so there's a hell of a lot of support for their tuning compared to the RS3 that's why the results are coming thick and fast for them. I've read this thread and many are taking the TTRS figures and translating them to the RS3, forg tying the...

Use an LCD screen cleaner, get them from places like PC world or eBay and a lint free cloth, spray directly onto the screen

Keep a close eye on the traction control light, even at high speed I've had some TC interference ehich ******* power

You've said you've heard S3's sounding like RS3's? maybe your ears are broke after all. I've not heard an S3 8v sound anything like an RS3 even with after market exhausts, the new facelift has a few more pops and crackles but is way off the sound of an RS3 even when aftermarket exhausts are added

Go home golf R your drunk. Hard to compare the A45 and RS3, one is like a muscle car and one like a rally car, interior engine noise is a no brainer though. Kudos to merc for not even trying to compete with the 5 pot by pumping sound into the cabin like the golf R though

If it's anything like other audis or the A45 AMG then the pops and crackles come from putting drops of fuel into the hot exhaust, you won't replicate this with an exhaust.

The I drove the RS the other day, it was quite a raw car but I didn't really get the hype that much, full on sport settings it was way way too harsh for British B roads, engines noise was non existant, exhaust wasn't much better and although it felt punchy due to the peaky power rather than the...

I'm not sure they even want the BHP crown off merc, the RS3 is already a 390 bhp car and they always underrate their performance so I don't think they feel the need to chase numbers

Maybe you could blank off the opposite pipe on the 8V and chop one tail pipe off and the. just feed the OEM side on the 8P

Didn't do it with the last one, I think Audi like to keep a little bit of distance between the TTRS and RS3, I don't think the facelift will officially get the same power hike as the TTRS I reckon it will be around 380

Absolutely agree
