Hello everyone!


We are new to this forum and would like to introduce ourselves. QST are a leading Audi tuning specialist based in the South of England. We have been established in the industry for over 25 years modifying and maintaining anything from the original Quattro up to the flagship R8 and everything in between, as well as having an in house MAHA dyno where testing takes place.

We are the sole UK agent for the German tuning company MTM (Motoren-Technik-Mayer) the German tuners were one of the first to modify Audis and now over 30 years on are still top of the market in terms or both software and hardware.

So here is our newest project car, the 2015 Audi RS3 8V finished in Nardo grey.

With the car being just a day old it was driven to the workshop for its first modification to take place. H&R lowering springs as we felt that the car sat too high from the factory and that a small drop of 30mm would really set the car off giving it a more aggressive stance and really boosting the cars presence as shown by the 50/50 photo. The springs work perfectly along side the Audi magnetic ride as they simply replace the original springs. The ride had not been compromised in the slightest and the car feels as it did when it left the factory, even when driving in the firmer dynamic mode. 23b95931a028c9be8426cfe3977cfdce.jpg

Obviously it didn't stay looking this way for very long. We recently became a UK dealer for Vossen wheels, the Miami based manufacturers who specialise in producing a high end luxury wheel for those who value excellence. The flowform VFS2 was decided upon in 20x8.5 +45 with a satin bronze finish a also come with a 5 year manufactures guarantee. The new wheels once again have added furthermore aggression to the car increasing its presence both sitting still and on the move dramatically. The tyre of choice was Michelins Pilot super sport which offer great grip in both wet and dry conditions.

The car then made its unveiling at the Edition 38 show where the feedback was excellent and a great event by the organisers.

Once returned from the show we put the car on the Dyno where it proved to be putting out higher than stated factory figures, 385bhp & 478Nm of torque rather than 362bhp & 465Nm torque.

Shortly after the standard Dyno run we received our development MTM M-Cantronic from Germany. For those that don't know the M-Cantronic is not your conventional remap, it's a standalone tuning box which plugs directly in to the ecu using oem multiplugs. The beauty of this system is that unlike a remap or other company's tuning boxes this product is 100% warranty safe as it can simply be removed in under 2 minutes when the car goes in to Audi which is brilliant for a new Audi such as the RS3. So here are the results: Power was boosted up to 417hp and torque up to 534.4NM. Please note this product is still in development so potentially there is more power to be made. The car has been transformed by the M-Cantronic a huge amount of low down grunt coupled up with massive mid range torque transforms the RS3 in to a true weapon, takes the term hyper hatch to a new level.

This is where we are up to with the car, a full exhaust is on the cards as well as much more. Hope you enjoyed the read and please get in touch with any enquiries by either email: kim@qstuning.com or give us a call on 01444 451542 and ask for Kim. The RS3 will be at Audi Driver International on the 17th at Castle Combe for those wanting a closer look or a passenger ride.

Thats a lovely stance that you have achieved with the wheels and springs , although personally not a fan of bronze and think black would look good (as would perhaps gunmetal)

 

I think its also a great statement to buy a brand new car and modify from day 1 ... you are to be applauded !!

Exactly

Get the mods done at day 1
Colin wheels can be painted anytime but as a showcase I think they need to stand out if they are on show to bring in orders
I'm hoping Vossen for mine after my post on wheel opinions.....just hope the offset and style will work out

Pat - yes they are lovely wheels and I have already been looking at them in advance of next years "project"

They have a lovely dish... 

 

Didsnt realise that 20" would look so good on the "std" RS3 - sometimes wheels can be just too big for the car. 

 

20" will look great on your mad build  :)

any indication of exhaust option timings?  The std exhaust is good, but an after-market (read louder!) is next on the hit list, if I cant retrofit the sports exhaust.

Hi Kim

Ref the MTM tuning kit, how do you provide / inform customers with updates to the software, as you say there is potential for more - once they have purchased the kit?

 

I am definitely interested in getting the lowering kit for my car (which will have magnetic ride) could you quote please and do you think you will offer forum discounts - feel free to call me a cheeky tw@

 

:)

I'm pushing for 21" s to fill out those massive arches.......Andy thinks 20s but I'll need persuading that they won't work on the road
The clubsport concept way back ran on 21s

Hi, currently we are working with two exhaust companies to potentially offer two different systems at different price points. Watch this space.

Hi, once purchased we would contact the customer of any further updates. This would either be done by coming down to us or over the internet your end, totally free of charge. Please send Kim a email: Kim@qstuning.com about the H&R lowering springs. Yes we will offer a forum discount and are able to offer a group buy on component for those interested.

How easy is it to remove the front number plate (looks amazing)? And are you just risking get pulled by the cops  with no front number plate, when driving on the road?
