    Saloon Which mods for the RS3 first?

    I think you have the right idea. Wheels and tyres will make a big difference so definately do those first. I would get some miles on the car before you tune, having said that you could have issues at any point. My gearbox started having issues as soon as I had the tcu mapped.

    Hi, Does anyone know the part number of the black plastic/foam part that sits in front of the crash bar but behind the grill. It's attached to the bumper I believe. Cheers

    Facelift Forge Turbo Inlet Elbow

    A mate had custom code stage 2, downpipe, intercooler, forge elbow and intake pipe done this weekend gone. Did 540bhp / 550 ft lbs. Aparently highest figures they have seen on a stage 2 and confirmed the elbow definately makes a difference.

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    Everyone should just replace the Pzeros with PS4S', after 8k on the pzeros mind were on the wear bars and had 0 grip at all. They also made the car creak when moving slowlt with full lock. Have PS4S on now and it's like a totally different car.

    Saloon Noise on full lock?

    I'm willing to bet all you guys have the stock P zero tyres on right? I changed mine to PS4S's and creaking stopped. Amazing.

    Exhaust beeping noise

    The beeping noise is just a vibration coming from the valves. I had the same thing in my focus RS which uses the exact same valves. Sounds like an electronic beep from inside the car but it is infact a vibration through part of the valve mechanism. In the end just unplugged the valves and used a...

    Slight miss in 1st gear Dynamic

    Definately not normal, at least on the facelift. No one that I have spoke to who owns a facelift has said they experience the same thud as mine. And my tuner says this is the first they have come across (fl) that's doing this.

    Slight miss in 1st gear Dynamic

    Is it like a loud thud when it changes to 2nd gear? I have this and still trying to figure out what is causing it. There is a chance it could be the haldex rather than the gearbox if wheel speeds aren't as they should.

    RS3 8V - Video reviews, clips and more

    Decat yes. Not sure on the cost as mine was used for development however I believe they are on sale very soon. My guess would be £600-700 for decat and £1400 for catback.
