Epic REVO S3

[Fctaff]

VAG tuner @ Donington today. It was a fantastic day organised by performance Audi magazine.

Loads of trade stands and car clubs, AOC were there but the REVO experience was the stand out sensation.

They were taking people out on the track in a range of REVO tuned cars, I chose the S3. The REVO S3 is an animal. It pulls hard thought the gears, the REVO gearbox software really squeezed every last drop of power available from the remapped motor. It's about 400hp I believe.

The sound of this car at full chat makes the hair on your neck stand on end. I can tell you because I witnessed it time and time again today, this little monster was reeling in and passing the R8 for fun.

The S3s REVO brakes scrubs it's speed away with great enthusiasm and efficiency at the end of the straight and the turn in is neutral and the REVO springs and bars have it well under control. Not once did it feel anything other then composed. A quick glance of the speedo reads 60mph though the hairpin. The REVO S3 is nothing short of EPIC!

Big thanks to James for taking me out, very much appreciated and to the other drivers and staff on the stand who organised the REVO experience for those that had the pleasure of this unique opportunity.

Nice, I was there today but completely forgot to go back to the revo stand at the entrance!

Any idea on the list of mods? Guessing its the full works, Stage 2, turbo back exhaust etc

I was there too with little lad we had a great time. Think it has full Scorpion system on it, the Revo TCU software (unreleased), stage 2 engine map, carbon intake and Revo big brakes and wheels.

 

[paulk]

it has the same stage 2 map as i have on my car, very nice car though

 

[Fctaff]

Revo had its RS3 at the show too, they had a good range of weapons on the track and on

 

[Rob2k68]

The RS3 sounded good it has to be said !

Think my car will ultimately end up being a similar spec to the Revo stage 2 saloon.

LoL, just for you :-

 

[Fctaff]

its a bit hard to talk about the Revo experience and the modifications without saying REVO as it was all REVO.

If I had said brakes people would not have known they were not stock, same with the gearbox software.

If I had been out in a car with other mods I would have listed them too.

Any idea what power the RS3 was running + any other mods?

TX.

I'm going to be collecting my S3 soon (hopefully) and was thinking about getting a remap. Do they void the Audi warranty?

If a TD1 code shows up when it's in for servicing or warranty work, then yes. And that will happen. Not sure if it just invalidates the engine and related warranty or all of it.

My guess it invalidates anything engine related . All other things like bodywork, interior etc.will be covered..

......Could also include tranny and drivetrain also as they could argue that you're putting more power/torque through them than what they were designed for.

True..How do you reckon you will deal with any warranty claim regarding your engine and drivetrain etc?
It's the only reason that has put me off going down the mod route..

If something crops up I've no idea mate other than be prepared to foot the bill myself. Part of the reason why I've stopped at stage 1+ which is seriously quick and on the limits of Haldex traction in the first three gears. No regrets tho it's totally transformed the car I'm almost certain that I would have got bored and changed it by now without the suspension mods I've made and the tune that's on it

That's a good enough reason I suppose...Do you have a guesstimate on what it's cost you(not wanting you to get in trouble with Mrs Rob)...lol

LoL !!

Engine bits I'm into 1150 ish with the remap air intake and free flowing turbo and throttle pipes (380-390hp est), suspension springs and roll bars 1000 and brakes 1050. Engine and brakes I done myself but had to pay to have the suspension work done with laser wheel alignment (included in above figure) - would have been better to have had springs and anti-roll bars done at the same time to save a few ££ as both mods have made the same stepped change to the handling. Sounds a fair bit of cash over the 17 months I've had it so far but it's really a hobby as much as anything and I'm naturally inquisitive so I'd mod practically any car I owned probably with the exception of a Veyron LoL !!

Other mods have practically been free or largely funded by sale of original parts.

LoL I know - luckily as a bit of a perk some bits went through the company so bit of an offset.

When you sit and add it all up its quite a bit of cash after the car is bought. I'm probably on par with @Rob2k68 - the map. Oh and mines not even on the car yet so can't wait.

You're going to be blown away at the difference and grinning from ear to ear.
