    Best intercooler for 8V?

    Here is another option with a Garrett core. The price was very tempting but I settled on the Iroz for 2 reasons. The STM had a larger 1000hp Garrett core, didn’t have the nice billett end tanks. I believe the Iroz IC core is rated for 800hp...

    Best intercooler for 8V?

    Here is a shot of the Iroz motorsports intercooler. It features cast end tanks and a Garrett core. Might be expensive to ship across the pond, but a very nice intercooler. Also the stock IC for comparison. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RS3 (PFL) vs RS3 (FL)

    If you have an FL and are looking for more sound without replacing your exhaust I would recommend one of the products designed to give you manual valve control. I recently installed the one from active-sound.eu and there is a noticeable increase in volume at lower to mid rpm ranges with the...

    Thanks! This is actually just the OEM Audi CF spoiler for the A3/S3/RS3. It is a quality piece of work. Dry carbon, no fiberglass filler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Post Pics Of Your 8V RS3's In Here

    Thanks! It is indeed a liquid coating and offers a few benefits over a traditional wrap. 1) significantly cheaper than a wrap or xpel stealth by a huge margin. 2) more color options. While mine is just a matte clear coat there are tons of plastidip options from clears to crazy color shifting...

    Few shots of Gretchen’s new summer look. Had a matte (professional) plastidip done over the factory Daytona grey to give it a frozen look. Also added some 3 piece forged HREs in 19x9.5 ET41. They came off a b8 S4, which coincidentally was absolute perfect fitment. Sent from my iPhone...

    Centre Console

    It was roughly $1500, but that cost is half of that if you provide the center console. I sold my stock center console for $500, so net cost was roughly $1000. They are amazing to work with. All materials are matched with OEM (carbon fiber and alcantara). They took my VIN to perfectly match...

    Centre Console

    Hah thanks, the floor mats are weathertech all season floor mats. Have never heard of them being considered cheap, but might be worth throwing the RS mats back in now that we’re finally out of winter. Or maybe some swank shag carpeting? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Neidfaktor all day long:). Here is the one I ordered as well as some custom alcantara work to finish off the inside of the knee bolsters and usb plug area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Facelift Known fault with FL RS3 - ticking exhaust valve..

    I had my car in for some other things and I had the tech (a friend) see if he could figure out what was making the rattling on cold start. He did manage to fix it, here is what he said. “I’ll explain when you pick up but the rattle is gone in the exhaust. Adjusted the center section and moved...

    Pure sex. I actually prefer the RS-GTs (especially those) over the RG-Rs but the RG-Rs fell in my lap:) Both are super strong, super lightweight forged wheels. And German to boot!! I really have only liked some of BBSs forged wheels and not really an LM fan. Their cast and flow formed...

    Great to see all the new owners in the U.K. and EU collecting their cars! I envy you guys for getting the sport back:). Would have been a no brainer for me coming from a MK7R. I just wanted to mention, the blade wheels are ridiculously heavy for what they are. They are roughly 29lbs per...

    Some updated pics from a rally this past weekend. To answer someone’s previous question. The wheels are 19x8.5 and I am running 8mm spacers up front and 10mm in the back. Tires are 235/35/19 Michelin P4S4. Car is lowered to 80mm all around on MSS Sport kit adjustable springs. Sent from...

    Some updated shots. I had a few wheel swaps but am back on the HRE's and lowered on MSS sport kit springs. Also did some interior modding to "finish" the center console with some CF and alcantara. The CF center console is from Neidfaktor and the alcantara work was done by a local shop here...

    Facelift RS3 Genuine Secondary Cat Bypass Pipes

    I am actually happy the pops are few and far between. When I do get one, it sounds like a gunshot, which we hear enough of here in the states:) In all seriousness, didn't much of the really crazy harsh pops on the pfl came from aftermarket exhausts and tuning? That's not to say there isn't a...

    Facelift RS3 Genuine Secondary Cat Bypass Pipes

    Why do people keep saying the pops are gone? They are not....not as much but definitely getting some hard pops on downshift, especially 4-->3. It's especially pronounced with the secondary cat delete which more markets will not even need to remove. You know what's really silly? The people...
