Hello all - Long time ASN user, first time poster (well here anyway!)..
So much like my Goosey built S4 thread over the last 5 yrs, link here: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/429973/
I will try to log my progress here for my helpless tinkering addiction of my new to me 2019 Ara Blue FL RS3 8V Saloon i picked up at the end of Jan.
When i picked it up it went straight to my local VAG specialist for a health check, which flagged a few issues that the dealer i bought the car from, was then forced to address... Not least of all they insisted the car was not tuned, not modified, and had cats... all of this turned out not to be true.
After a few months of back and forth they stumped up £2500 for Milltek 200 cel sports cat downpipe and new OEM temp sensors for the missing OPF.
Once resolved i had the green light to modify
so did some basic health check stuff... pollen filter, NGK plugs, OEM coil packs, alignment... then the fun stuff - oh and took it to Cadwell Park for a shakedown
In order:-
Airtec intercooler
HEL brakes lines all round and Motul RBF660 fluid
Forge carbon fibre intake & turbo elbow
VBT 5mm front & 11mm rear spacers
H&R rear ARB
Unitronic st2 ECU and st1 TCU maps
Reyland 380mm 2 piece floating J hook front disks, and PBS ProTrack pads
Bevensee billet ali adjustable rear toe arms and rear ARB drop links
Waiting to go on next, new Bilstein top mounts & bearings, with Euro Sport camber pucks, and Eibach -10mm springs (20% stiffer).. then will do the rear disks/pads, and maybe a bit more suspension stuff, in readiness for a day at Oulton Park, and a Ring run early Sept.
Anyhooo.. more to follow. Nice to meet you all, hopefully i can engage/support/heckle where poss.
