Hello fellow Audi enthusiasts,
So I have now been an S3FL owner for 3 months and my car has covered 6k miles.
My car is a Vegas Yellow Black Edition, S-Tronic with the tech pack and parking plus. She isnt the highest spec but I have now done most of my mods that I plan to do with the car.
1. I wasnt a great fan of the standard wheels that came on the black edition, so i found some aftermarket RS6 19" wheels for a decent price and they really transform the look of the car. They are 10mm spaced on the front and 15mm spaced on the back.
2. My dad remapped his car so it was faster than mine, so i decided to go one step further. After 3k ish miles I booked the car into my local APR dealer for the stage 1 remap (high torque) and the carbon intake system to be fitted. If anyone has been wondering wether or not to remap their car and has a similar attitude towards warranty, I recommend remapping your car asap. Its insane, like totally insane.
3. Noise, the standard sound from the exhaust is pretty good especially with the pops and bangs that you get around the 4000rpm mark. Good wasnt enough so i went and got myself a Miltek Catback system, non resonated and non valved with the round black tips. Firstly it looks amazing, the black tips fits will with the rest of the black edition parts. The sound, well it sounds pretty amazing now, on acceleration you get a very 'throaty' noise and the pops and bangs are amplified a lot. It actually sounds more like the RS3 now. The gearbox farts are pretty loud now too.
I will once i have found an AWD dyno in scotland get the power and torque figures and post them here. If there are any guys here from Scotland who know where I can find a Dyno please be in touch
Next plans. Well i dont really plan on ever owning the car so im not gonna take it to stage 2 or do anything else to the performance. I do want to get a few bits on the exterior wrapped to make the car a little more unique. I know the owner at TLC detailing in Stirling and I plan to get the roof wrapped in gloss black, the audi badge on the back wrapped black, and the audi badge on the front wrapped in yellow. The splitter and skirts wrapped in black too. He is also going to wrap my keys in yellow with the S3 logo on them which would be a cool little touch
Once I get the chance to properly clean the car up, I will get some photos up here for you all
Cheers
