    Finally got round to replacing the RS3

    got sad at selling the RS3 so decided to add a weekend car to the garage. Bought this 2013 Performamce pack C63 the other week, I've had hot hatches all my life so decided I needed to experience a thumping V8, it's a lot different to what I'm used to especially the instant grip in the RS3 but in...

    Catalunya Red

    I had cat red and never regretted it once, the only it deffo needs is the black pack, mine had it and another car down my road never had it and they looked miles apart in terms of looks imo. Deffo needs black wheels aswell

    Looking to change from the S3 to the RS3

    The big rumour is that the new RS3 has had its exhaust slightly toned down, some existing RS3 owners have said they've been called in for a 'software update' and come out feeling like the exhaust was tamer, going videos of performance exhaust RS3 saloons on the web I'd have to agree it's not...

    Test Drive: RS 3 Sedan

    You have got a lot more Golf R's on the road than RS3 so there's a hell of a lot of support for their tuning compared to the RS3 that's why the results are coming thick and fast for them. I've read this thread and many are taking the TTRS figures and translating them to the RS3, forg tying the...

    Snap....Crackle....Pop

    You've said you've heard S3's sounding like RS3's? maybe your ears are broke after all. I've not heard an S3 8v sound anything like an RS3 even with after market exhausts, the new facelift has a few more pops and crackles but is way off the sound of an RS3 even when aftermarket exhausts are added

    2016 Mercedes Benz A45 AMG Vs. Golf R MK7 Vs. Audi RS3 - Which One Sounds Best?

    Go home golf R your drunk. Hard to compare the A45 and RS3, one is like a muscle car and one like a rally car, interior engine noise is a no brainer though. Kudos to merc for not even trying to compete with the 5 pot by pumping sound into the cabin like the golf R though

    RS3 8v sports exhaust on 8p?

    If it's anything like other audis or the A45 AMG then the pops and crackles come from putting drops of fuel into the hot exhaust, you won't replicate this with an exhaust.

    Focus RS

    The I drove the RS the other day, it was quite a raw car but I didn't really get the hype that much, full on sport settings it was way way too harsh for British B roads, engines noise was non existant, exhaust wasn't much better and although it felt punchy due to the peaky power rather than the...

    RS3 & RS3 performance

    I'm not sure they even want the BHP crown off merc, the RS3 is already a 390 bhp car and they always underrate their performance so I don't think they feel the need to chase numbers

    RS3 8v sports exhaust on 8p?

    Maybe you could blank off the opposite pipe on the 8V and chop one tail pipe off and the. just feed the OEM side on the 8P

    RS3 & RS3 performance

    Didn't do it with the last one, I think Audi like to keep a little bit of distance between the TTRS and RS3, I don't think the facelift will officially get the same power hike as the TTRS I reckon it will be around 380

    RS3 8V vs 8P

    Strange I've seen a stage 1 RS3 8p vs stock RS3 8v at crail that were also neck and neck, test reviews also suggest the 8v is a fair bit quicker

    My motto is make it as hard for them to get in or even try to get in your house in the first place but once in make it as easy as possible for them to just get the keys and ****** off. Once they are in and assuming you havent woken then the last thing you want is a group of men wandering round...

    Auto Trader 'Hot Hatch' Mega Test

    Worthless review, do all the tests which the A45 won then choose the FRS, what's the point? Should have just driven them round the track and said oooh the RS has a drift button this is fun and declared it the winner, don't know why they have to bring up the price of the A45 and RS3 in every...

    Yes the trackers off tracker.co.uk use VHF instead of GPS, there are still jammers for them though they are just more expensive.
