Sepang blue s3 sportback

[paul_zx6r]

Well after searching for a sprint blue sportback for a few weeks, I noticed a sepang blue s3 on the Audi used car search, I think it had been in the dealership for a day and they had about 10 people interested, after putting a deposit down to secure the car before anyone got there, went for a test drive and obviously a deal was done. Anyway here's some pics, hopefully I'll pick it up next week after the wheels have been refurbed.

Thanks I've never seen another sepang blue one, although I haven't been looking for that long.

Have you got a build thread?

 

[leshkin]

It's definitely a very rare color on 8P.

No build thread for now, but may kick one off just to keep a record of the many mods The first post will likely be an essay though

 

[paul_zx6r]

You should start one, I'm already thinking revo cai plus stage 1 remap, especially if revo do their normal Xmas discounts

 

[paul_zx6r]

First mods order place a revo camcoat intake and some h & r anti roll bars and I haven't even pick the car up yet

 

[nluk100]

Loving the colour - is it manual or s-tronic?

Make sure they do a decent job of the rotor refurbs, they need to go to a specialist.

Spend your money on a stage 1 remap over an intake all day long! Then ARBs. Then go for a downpipe with a sports cat.

HTH

 

[paul_zx6r]

Thanks, it's s-tronic

I'm buying it from an Audi dealership and they are sending the alloys off to someone they use for refurbing so should come back mint, I've got a 3 year smart repair warranty so should be covered for 3 years.

I've already spoken to a local company about a stage 1 map, but going to wait and see if revo do their normal Xmas 20% off deal, I got the intake an arbs on a good deal so couldn't resist. I'll be saving up for a full exhaust system after that.

lovely color mate, brilliant car any plans besides a remap and intake?

 

[paul_zx6r]

Thanks mate, really pleased I found this colour. I've got a lot planned for the car. This forum is bad for my bank balance lol. Every time I read someone else's build thread there's always something else I think that'll look good on my car.

Currently thinking about getting a bcs down pipe and sports cat then getting revo stage 2 and bypass stage 1.

 

[paul_zx6r]

So collecting the car tomorrow, going to be a long 24 hour wait.

Sepang deserves love

Yes....
This place is very bad indeed for your wallet.
I know.

 

[paul_zx6r]

You must have spent thousands Alex, if I can do half the things you've done to your car I'll be very happy lol.

spoken to bcs yesterday about down pipe and sports cat, will hopefully be ordering next week.

Nice! Not that I need it, but would they offer the rest of their powervalve system if you ever decide to upgrade to that?

Yes, the down pipe and sports cat come with a connecting pipe so it can be connected to the standard cat back, Then when you buy the rear power valve section you just remove the connecting pipe and connect the down pipe and rear power valve section up.

 

[cpc_s3]

looks nice well done

 

[paul_zx6r]

Thanks, can't wait to pick it up now

 

[paul_zx6r]

Picked the car up today





They had the new r8 v10 in for demo which the sales guys were ripping up

 

[paul_zx6r]

Another pic, very pleased with it, tried launch control out a few times too.

 

[leshkin]

Car is looking sweet! Congratulations on the purchase!

 

[TimWills28]

Nice

 

[TimWills28]

Been in one of those! Exhaust and remap is must! Lovely

 

[S3Alex]

Lovely car and good to see another SEast owner.

Now make your way quickly to my favourite watering hole for car parts!

 

[paul_zx6r]

Thanks all, I should have a cam coat revo intake and H & R arbs waiting for me at work tomorrow. I'm from Cambridge Alex and been to amd a few times with my old pd170 btcc leon

fast forward to 40 seconds excuse the smoke lol.

I was thinking of getting a bcs down pipe and sports cat then revo stage 2 but after the drive home, may just go for a stage 1 map and get used to that over winter while saving to go stage 2+.

Hahah after the drive home...what drive home was that lol

 

[S3Alex]

You should have seen mine smoke with RS4 injectors.
Would put many diesels to shame!

All cured now thanks to Syvecs.

 

[paul_zx6r]

Fitted the revo intake at the weekend, nice bit of induction roar now

Also fitted a black coolant cap, Just got to get a matching washer cap now.

Also fitted interior and number plate lights from T8ups, they make a huge difference.

 

[paul_zx6r]

Just ordered a 3" down pipe with sports cat, roll on stage 2

 

[audismart]

Thanks, it's s-tronic

Got to be a BCS Powervalve exhaust, nice car, I see it has the Audi exclusive pack in the interior too.Nice.

 

[paul_zx6r]

I've ordered a pipe werx down pipe that a few members are using, can't stretch to a bcs system at the min, would love the power valve system though.

What's the Audi exclusive pack?

 

[paul_zx6r]

Small update, the car is booked in at aks tuning on the 26th Jan for fitting the downpipe, h&r arbs, auto tech fuel pump internals and rs4 valve, then it'll be off to r-tech for a stage 2+ map, going to be a long 2 months wait.

What a people's on the pcv delete? Does it need doing before mapping or can it wait.

 

[leshkin]

Good luck with that! Should be good fun after those mods

You shouldn't need a pcv delete unless yours is on the way out. I lasted for almost a year on stg2+ and no issues.

I'm only doing it now because of sales and LVS were doing a good deal on Forge kit

 

[paul_zx6r]

Ha it should make for an interesting drive. I was originally just going to do a stage 2 map but if it's only the fuel pump that's extra then may as well just go stage 2+.

The pcv seems fine on my car, I was looking at r-techs full delete kit. It includes a boost tap as I'm going to put a boost gauge in one of the vents, I've ordered the osir mount from the tt-shop.

 

[leshkin]

Forge kit includes a three way tap too. I already have that with the BCS system, so will not be need that.

 

[LiamS3]

Nice car that, very rare colour Enjoy buddy!

I will be saving for a bcs power valve system next year, unless one comes up second hand. Have you got a decat or sports car?
