Hi Mate, can you tell me what shocks are you using? if standard ones, then have they been modified e.g. rubber stop shorten? Can you confirm which eibach #model number? thanks!Thanks Timi.
Yeah ride quality is much better, a lot stiffer, corners better, need to go a lot slower on bumps which is expected, but overall I am very pleased with the springs.
Not sure where you are based but @DJAlix on the forums has helped multiple people on the forums. Check his website https://www.vagcarcoding.com/services/ to see what he can do. Saving up to book in with himself to get multiple bits doneGood progress mate. Really interested how the remap will change the car. I just brought mine exact same 1.4 TFSI Sport trim 3 door 13 plate in red. Same 17 inch wheels on with Milano leather seats.
Quick question, the whole MMI stuff, did you just go into Audi to get it done? Does it cost anything?

I’ve had the remap done, plus an exhaust, really changes the car. Trying to look for a downpipe now and can’t find them anywhere
Have you had any luck yet with the downpipe? I’ve the 1.4 150PS and was looking into it. What are the benefits of it?
Photo just cause she’s pretty

Also looks great Have you done anything else to your car?
Here’s one of mine
I’ll have to look into it and see.. it’ll be an intake, downpipe and probably an inter cooler thought to map it any higher.
Yes mate. Mapped to 194bhp
Lowered on Eibach by 35mm all round
19 Audi S5 alloys
Window tints
Black pack
Tinted rear lights
Custom stainless S3 style exhaust
Black rear diffuser
Rebadge
Black Audi badges
Yellow S calipers
Maxton splitter that isn’t fitted yet
Carson spoiler that also isn’t fitted
Ordered an RS grill
In talks to get the steering wheel and gear stick done in alcantara with a yellow strip at the centre point
Few little detailing points to smooth it out and tiny yellow touches
Looking into downpipes, intakes and intercoolers at the moment. I’d like 220bhp ideally but she is brisk at 195
She looks well mate... What about yourself?

Pretty much the same as you, apart from splitters, I’ve got H&R springs 45mm too, did you have the pace car lights coded?
194bhp is mint, my friend had the ST200 and we were pretty much neck and neck up to about 60
Is your exhaust straight pipe from the cat back?
Also is it DSG?
Mine DSG farts, surprises a lot of people tbf
I had a look at the 45, but the 35 with the 19s filled the arches perfectly...
Took a good bit of fiddling to get it. How much did Revo give you? Mines bone stock apart from the remap
Yeah straight pipe and sounds fantastic. Can get pops and crackles n the overrun sometimes
No mate, manual unfortunately... DSG Fart would be but sadly not to be lol
Good to actually see someone else putting effort into there A3 Saloon 1.4 haha

Also I only have 18” alloys on so I needed the extra 10mm haha
I know the feeling... I’ve only been driving a few years so an S3/Golf R is out of the question insurance wise.
Also, I’ve a 70 mile round trip every day and getting 40mpg in the 1.4 does me well.
Yeah, It’s the same near me. A lot of S3s but very standard looking a lot of the time
Mines not as bad, 60 miles a day, I get about 47-50mpg but it’s on an average speed motorway at 50, im guessing yours is either 70mph (which I’m guessing you don’t stick to ) or country roads haha
I’ve got 3 maybe 4 years no claims but I got caught doing 97 on the motorway so got slapped with 4 points which kills my insurance as well as the bad area
I did a year and a bit with a black box then swapped to my S3. Helped bring the premium down a lot. Paying only a few hundred more than most with Golfs, Polos etcI know the feeling... I’ve only been driving a few years so an S3/Golf R is out of the question insurance wise.

This looks and sounds insane... 230bhp at the wheels.
It all looks manageable but it’s got a methanol kit?
I couldn’t bare the thought of a black box... Having near 400bhp and having to obey the speed limit 24/7 and no hard cornering would kill me hahaI did a year and a bit with a black box then swapped to my S3. Helped bring the premium down a lot.

No I never did. Drove a fiesta with one, then swapped to the S3. They lowered my premiums based on the data from the fiesta and no black box neededI couldn’t bare the thought of a black box... Having near 400bhp and having to obey the speed limit 24/7 and no hard cornering would kill me haha
My A3 is good for at present - But a FL S3 Saloon is on the horizon for me I think

That looks absolutely beautiful! how much did the exhaust set up cost and how did it effect your insurance? I’ve got a 1.4 150bhp 3dr and modding the exhaust is really on my mind
Here’s a photo of mine sitting all pretty
Hoping mine goes down after a year.. want to change cars once my insurance is up, all the current quotes are ridiculous thoughI did a year and a bit with a black box then swapped to my S3. Helped bring the premium down a lot. Paying only a few hundred more than most with Golfs, Polos etc

What you considering? I always find ringing easier to get the price downHoping mine goes down after a year.. want to change cars once my insurance is up, all the current quotes are ridiculous though
Either an RS5 or Mustang, so as you can imagine the insurance isn't too cheap on them for me. I could try ringing I suppose, but all insurers are ridiculously high at the momentWhat you considering? I always find ringing easier to get the price down

****** hell how old are you if you don't mind me asking? Mustangs are great, having test drove one. I found the interior seriously lackluster and the automatic and bit sluggish.Either an RS5 or Mustang, so as you can imagine the insurance isn't too cheap on them for me.

Haha, I'm 17. I haven't test drove a mustang but I definitely think the interior would be a large downgrade. I've heard mixed reports on the automatic, but I wouldn't have much to compare it to given that I've only driven two automatics which are both Audis****** hell how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Good luck mate I got a S3 at 18, if you can afford it. Why not!Haha, I'm 17. I haven't test drove a mustang but I definitely think the interior would be a large downgrade.

Thanks! Unfortunately not many people have the same thought process as you and just tend to criticise. Work hard, play hardGood luck mate I got a S3 at 18, if you can afford it. Why not!
