Self-fit or paid to fit. Similar colour wires to Ampire module you posted sometime ago.

Self fit…….

They are all pretty much of a muchness now.

This one can disable through the gearbox or engine.

I take it the two twisted pairs of wires on the scorpian need the can bus to the gearbox cutting?

No, there is no cutting of Can wires.

So, I just popped into Audi to get my silver trim dash piece changed, I asked the service guy what didnt invalidate Audi's warranty? How about a Ghost? replay ''they're fine I have loads of customers with those fitted, they only affect warranty if they cause the fault'',
So I replied ''Audi UK says they void the warranty'' ''well in that case then I wouldnt fit one''

*** it's hard

I have no idea could it prevent over the air software updates maybe?

I need to look into it further to see how it connects into the car and the can bus unless you can shed some light on the subject ?

It’ll not affect any OTA updates.

I'm tempted to fit something my self, but for the life on me I cannot find any wiring diagrams of the engine ecu and ancilliary's, something like a bit of wizadry with a relay and a timer relay so it blows the horn for 20 seconds instead of starting when the start button is pressed would work I think

 

[8YARWY]

Turns out this has a security flaw that’s been discovered……..

Wasn’t on an Audi but still on a VAG keyless car, which has prompted me to disable it for now.

This would be the eibach sport line kit with bimecc 12mm(f) and 15mm(r) done today at R44 on my filthy saloon, lucky it's booked in for new car detail (multi stage decontamination wash process followed by a single stage machine polish to remove any swirls picked up. Layer of ceramic coating on the paintwork & alloy wheels, dress the plastics, clean windows inside & out, protect floor mats & protect the seats) next week

That's nice. Really tempted to lower it - it's obviously very early days but would appreciate if you can let us know if it's massively detrimental to the ride quality.

Looks good, imagine how lost the wheels would look without spacers!

I think that the Sportline springs might be a little too low for my personal taste/driveway entry, hopefully someone will fit a Pro-kit set soon with some spacers and I can get a comparison before I do either.

Did they re-calibrate your suspension and cameras and things for you at the same time? Is that something you have to do on the 8Y's I presume?

Taken off the car.

Avoid this like the plague, yes it stops the car being started, but there’s a way to circumvent it.

Not good at all.

When I had the ghost fitted they said a few cars could be bypassed with it installed, though rare, but I also had a crank cut relay fitted at the same time.

Yeah am getting a ghost now.

The explanation from the supplier in Germany was laughable and shows how they have no idea about the product (is basically an Ampire rebranded).

Though only 2 days and under 100miles fitted, there were plenty of testing roads leading from Wembley down to the M4 and with adaptive suspension in comfort, very little difference to me, nice and smooth. Standard suspension with the drop may be a different story though?

I was a little unsure with the drop beforehand, but as soon as I saw it with the spacers..... perfect!

As far as I am aware, no, but I didn't stay around during fit, disappeared down to Olympic way for about 3hrs before heading back to collect the car and home.

I'm no tuber with a fetish for vlogging stuff and saying "2022 audi rs3" about a thousand times a minute AH lol but R44 were accommodating and any issues I will take it back there.

Zachs m240i was nice inside, but they all seemed to prefer the RS3 inside over BMW tho.

Anybody still have that protective film on the silver bits on the door switches? I noticed it on there a few days ago and still haven't yet removed it the car is young, there's plenty of time

Anyway...

@Doja cat how you finding the ceramic brakes?

TX.

 

[Add_Profile]

According to the app, I'm currently on 454 miles, absolutely no noise or squeaks so far albeit early days. Excellent feel and stopping power when pressed hard and normal conditions, but found when moving very slowly in traffic then coming to a stop, I feel I need to push the pedal "more" than I should at the point of stopping the car, just a quirk of ceramic I guess but something muscle memory will make unnoticeable in time.

I've heard they can be noisy, squeal etc, but I don't have anything yet, super pleased at the moment with them overall. And of course, they look fantastic.

For me, the MSG discount more than covered the cost of adding ceramics (Dynamic pack) as well as the C&S pack to bring the purchase price of the Carbon Black down to below that of a standard car (current list price), which was a big factor in making the commitment to adding ceramics in the end.

Sportline? Spacer dimension? Car looks superb!

First wheels off session.
Full decontamination, clay, degrease and a coat of Red Mist. Gave the brakes a coating too as well as remote the massive white QR code sticker.
I had to kick the rear wheels off due to dissimilar metal corrosion, thought they'd slip off after only 4 months of being mated.

 

[Spinstorm]

My car is still at week 35 - it has been there for the last 3/4 weeks so I think it is pretty reasonable to assume it will end up being built around then and turn up in September.

I will be taking an Audi press RS3 on the high-speed bowl at Milbrook in a week or so and will see how it performs and how fast we can get it but when I get my car, my list of things I will do is

1. Change the vents
2. Re-trim/replace wheel
3. Get something to cover that god-awful gloss black centre part where the gear puck is.
4. Possibly get my callipers painted red (as black is boring)

Cleaned mine again today, I think these wheels are pretty easy to clean.
The BigBoi dryer comes into its own for drying them too.
