    A MASSIVE thank you

    If they’ve killed certain so they’re not left with extra parts when they discontinue the current model, that’s terrible on Audi’s behalf! I really wanted the ceramic brakes and carbon inlay engine cover. Ive heard you can’t upgrade to full ceramics at a later date as it messes with your ABS or...

    A MASSIVE thank you

    Must admit, I’m disappointed not being able to spec the ceramic brakes. Purely for the rotational weight reduction Surely the option wasn’t removed because of abit of squeaking :flushed:

    Facelift Sports exhaust - is it worth it?

    I test drove the new RS3 with the GPF and the sound is dead. Seriously need the Sport exhaust, even if it only makes a small difference, I promise you, the sound needs all the help it can get. Im going for new downpipes and midpipes (remove the cat and GPF but that’s situation dependant) Good...

    A MASSIVE thank you

    A massive thank you to all the people that voted and urged me to go Java Green on my RS3!! I see Audi have reinstated this colour with the new RS-Q8 and it looks Fantastic Anyone who’s been through the colour dilemma, knows the sleepless nights it can cause thinking you could possibly be...

    The question no one is asking about Ceramic coating

    Wouldn’t the constant polishing every 18 months have an effect on the lacquer coat after 5-6 years ?

    MRC stage 1

    No performance parts give you any performance increase without the remap to utilise them. Unless we’re talking brakes, tyres, suspension etc

    Wheel Spacers

    Seems this Forum has a way of cutting through the **** and keeping it to the point! So I’m here for peoples advice on wheel spacers. I’m thinking of 10 mm spacers for a subtle stance improvement. If I pull the trigger on spacers, I’ll be sure to get quality not cheap Are there any negatives...

    Exactly what I’m going for on my 2020 RS3. Downpipe, decat, panel filter & MRC Stage 1

    MRC Tuning Quote

    I I wouldn’t think of a panel filter in terms of gaining bhp.. as much as I’d think of it as a tool to help the engine not work so hard (as a result you gain a few bhp) but the bigger picture is reducing a small amount of stress, especially when tuned

    MRC Tuning Quote

    Even if I had the FL I’d still want to remove the primary and secondary cats. So price wise would more than likely be similar I’m glad you mentioned about foam filters as I had this APR filter in mind (pretty sure it’s foam) I’ve used K&N on my MK3 RS and it looked like it would struggle to...

    MRC Tuning Quote

    Cheers for the input on the gearbox map I’ll purchase a panel filter before MRC put their map on. As for intercooler, I’m not planning on one and if I’m honest I’m not looking for such big gains like MRC have quoted. I was only planning on a Stage 1. I’d be happy with 30bhp gain and CEL being...

    MRC Tuning Quote

    (I trust MRC would have no problem with me sharing this. If anyone knows any different, please let me know) Question Time:- Ive been quoted for a Gearbox tune which I was not expecting. What exactly can I expect from this tune? How much effect can a tune have on a gearboxes longevity...

    The question no one is asking about Ceramic coating

    I might start messaging you directly. Always get solid answers from you :friends: Anyone know the realistic lifespan of PPF. Been quoted £3K for full coverage (that includes £300 discount as a return customer). Sounds like I might get better “bang for my buck” with PPF
