Hi all, just picked up my RS3 last weekend. Love the car and can't wait to get a few tasteful mods done!

Looks great!

See you've got the 2nd cats too which is a great mod!

What's the plans ?

Hey, looks great, where abouts in Cheshire are you from?

Hi MacD and thanks.

 

Yes the car had the bypass pipes when I bought it and it had previously been mapped, but Audi wiped this of before letting me have it. I have booked in at AmD to have the map put back on though in July as its only £60+vat to reinstall it! Other than that I may add a panel filter and want to remove the front number plate surround and have my private reg cut down to show more of the grille.

Hi underlined, what a car !!! Congratulation. Somebody's eyes must be popping out looking at that......!!! 

What figures do you get with a Amd remap ?

[underlined]

Hi, thanks for the comments.

 

I have the rr print out at home which I can look at later, it was 390 bhp. This is down a bit on other quoted figures, and they quote 400bhp on their site. I don't mind though as the previous owner said it was a really good map, and I don't want to pay £650 for another map when I can have this put back on for £60+vat.

400bhp is what i'd expect and certainly from a car with 2nd cats.

 

If its just £60 then its a no brainer to have it re-installed.

That's what I thought, although it does concern me that it is bit low on power compared to other figures. I have the print out fromt the original map now and the figures are 390.9hp and 408.9lb/ft, this sound about right or are other maps quoted much higher torques?

It is lower than i'd expect however in fairness those figures are taken from a rolling road and they vary massively between them.

 

I think personally your stock figures are low as many RS3's RR at 10-15bhp higher than that even in stock form.

 

Obviously this could mean your cars 400-405bhp on another rolling road.

 

Its all about how the car feels too, If the last owner was happy then i'm sure you will be.

 

I'd like to see a couple of tuners with different maps on the same spec cars drag strip.
