Hi Guys.

 

I'm Dan and I'm 20, I collected my RS3 from Tamworth Audi on Friday last week.

 

The car really is superb in every aspect, This is my 3rd A3, I went from a 8p 2.0 tdi 170 to a new shape 8V 1.8 TFSI (180) and after seeing the RS3 I couldn't resist!

 

It does everything so well and really is the perfect car! You have practicality & performance all rolled into one stunning looking car!

 

I don't have much planned modification wise other than the secondary cat bypass, I would like to remap but It's not worth invalidating the warranty!

 

Anyway less of the chat and more pics ;)

According to the DIS I'm getting 30-32 on motorway cruises. The lifetime average is something like 26 for me, but I mostly do motorway driving so perhaps higher than most would get.

I do most of my driving around town, short distances and getting a scary 13/15 mpg, ( always with S button on and the S-tronic in to Sport mode ) while on long drives or motorway 30/32 at least, that's until I get fed up and start gunning it.... :5:  :D .

Averaging 22-24mpg most days,  Thats mostly with town traffic but reduces once i get an open stretch due to a lead foot.

 

I've seen 26-28mpg average on the motorway cruising at 90-100 (abroad or on a private runway for legal purposes)

Hi How much are these pipes and how much to fit them?  Will Audi fit? Do they invalidate the warranty and do they affect the insurance. Ta!

There's a set for sale on here for £100 + delivery in the Classifieds, bargain to be had. They'll invalidate the warranty on the exhaust but don't do any harm as there are no sensors near them. Audi won't fit them but a decent independent can do it in less than an hour if you don't DIY.

 

Do it, you won't regret it.
