    RS3 PFL want more sound!

    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...

    Should I go E85? Unitronic

    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...

    Upgraded intercoooler

    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

    STAGE 3 - Can't get the power down!

    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...

    APR STAGE 3 RS3 8v

    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...

    Insurance telematics boxes

    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...

    APR STAGE 3 RS3 8v

    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...

    Facelift TR Hamza MRC

    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...

    Facelift TR Hamza MRC

    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...

    Audi Newbie looking for advice

    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...

    RS3 OPF tuned - Infinit Performance

    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...

    How to ruin your Rs3 101

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

    Pfl RS3 or M140i

    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...

    Sportback Mapped PFL RS3 vs M2CS

    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...

    Sportback Mapped PFL RS3 vs M2CS

    What??? 750nm in the pfl with no turbo upgrade? I smell bs.. maybe 570nm and there was a communication error with the owner.. There's the old saying "horsepower sells the car, torque wins the races". If it was actually 750nm it would have walked the a45s like no tomorrow. The m2cs is a nice...

    Contemplating considerably more power!

    Love a bit of banter on a car forum I can't speak of other manufacturers but TTE were great to deal with. I'm running their TTE700 as of very recently on a fl and customer service was great and they reply promptly. Install was relatively straightforward to. On a side note I do remember when...

    Sorry another MPS4 Tyre Question

    Yeh I would. The 235 mps4s I'd say are as wide as the 255 pirelli's. I'm going off the fact that the 255 mp4s were dramatically larger than the 255 pzero's which were originally on the car when I bought it + what other people say about the 235's. I was actually amazed at how much wider they...

    Sorry another MPS4 Tyre Question

    I would go 235 since the mps4s is wider than the equivalent 235 p zero as is and quite frankly is a much better tyre (sidewall looks a lot nicer imo too) I'm running 255 front and rear mps4s but unless you've got at least a 30mm+ drop it'll look funny but that's food for thought down the track...

    CETE Valve controller something to take into consideration before you buy.

    No issues on my pfl or fl. Sound scary though especially if you're on a busy motorway
