Mr Daniel Knight how much did it cost? I was thinking about doing a stage 1 with mrc for my pre face lift Rs3

Good Video Daniel, Some great thoughts and advice...keep us posted on how this runs...

Hi Daniel glad to see this video great car 😀😀👍👍

yeeeeeah back the tuning! every new car with a turbo need a remap

You stopped creating videos Daniel? Hope all is well. Been subscribed for years and bought a pre facelift RS3 because of your content. I feel like the style & genuine honesty really resonates with your viewers. You should have x10 times more subs, but such is the KZread algorithm I guess. Good luck.

I’m looking into getting an RS3 and enjoy hearing peoples variants. Like you I’m trying to stay within “limits” . Enough but Not too much ,, BUT with that temptation to extend the joy

I’ve gone for Emmanuel Design springs. They look along with BIMECC spacers 👌

Good vid! Ispiri do some nice wheels that fit the rs3. Mp4s are great. Also look at the new eagle f1 supersports. Even better in the wet than the mp4s 😎👍🏼

Damn.. I remember when your blew up a bit for “complaining” about the RS3.. now you’ve got this beast

Complaining about some 'squeaky' brakes, now he is in to tuning and an 'expert'.... Mid life crisis?

Check out MSS springs by the way. They are amazing. Also PS4S’s are incredible and actually last a fairly long time. Also Eventuri or IE.. other intakes need not apply

Hey Dan, great video coming from RS3 owner with the same thoughts and concerns. Theres a known fault when using mic adapter and just pressing ON/record? it works using the app on phone or turning on the gopro, check mic settings are set correct (external) and then hit record.. There’s videos and comments on youtube about this known fault. Cheers

Good video. Bet the car feels an absolute beast to drive. I run MP4's on my S3. Great tyre. Much better than P-Zero's or Continental sport 6's. Wheels, BBS CH-R's look good on S3's. Might be worth considering?

Agreed - the standard P Zeros are responsible for so much of the understeer journos moaned about - PS4’s cure most of it

Your first name should of been Michael with that surname buddy.Motor looking cool 🏎💥💨💥💨

As soon as I seen 539bhp stright away.. time to jump on a llf collab

what was the cost for the performance package you got done including labour and fitting? thanks

It didn’t come as a package. All in it’s cost around 4 to 5K.

Daniel 😍😍😍

What’d you do for work if you don’t mind me asking? I wanna join 🤣

Did Audi care about you tuning it? I’ve always wondered about doing with it with a financed car.

Of course they do. Warranty is effectively voided. It’s the same reason BMW repo’d LLF’s last M car.

Great vid bro. Just be careful on reliability tho bro, I think if such figures could be reached so easily Audi would have produced them like that from stock. Makes me wonder why they did not. So just be careful re. reliability, also more fuel consumption. Btw your vids are really good, I always look forward to them. You’re a real natural for YT vids!

Shut the fuck up. These engines are known to be bullet proof. There’s cars out there running 650 that haven’t even been forged that are sound as a pound

While I wouldn’t be overly worried about reliability for this engine (ABT gets 500ps from their tune), it makes sense that Audi doesn’t tune it to that power from stock. It would only eat into the sales of their more premium models (RS4, RS6, etc.).

Hi Daniel, thinking of stage 1ing my RS3, have had any problems as worried about knackerering engine?

@mrdanielknight

I haven't had any problems and I'm hoping it stays that way! My general advice would be not to push the engine too hard by chasing bigger numbers and be obsessive about your cars temperature - not only let it warm up in the mornings, make sure your temp is good whilst driving and after any hard drives make sure you let the car cool down a little, I normally do the last 20/30 minutes of my commute in Comfort.

@@mrdanielknight you can code the car using Carista or similar to show the oil temp gauge on its own on a Prefl as - very very stupidly - Audi only chose to display it on one screen by default

Don’t need an intake to be honest, only if you’re going stage 2 and beyond. Spoils the rs3 noise imo.

Nice figures........I've just gone 19k on my 67 plate RS3 saloon. Unfortunately, family priorities have meant it is gone next March. I will be in an A1 s.line competition for a couple of years. I will look forward to hearing some driving footage. My neighbours always bleeding on about start up noise too.

Decat the thing 😂😂

Eventuri have got an upgraded stage 3 intake better money spent on that then a few Penny's to get the older one. Integrated Engineering 🤣👊

Eventuri stuff looks nice but is stupid money for something that won’t make a huge difference until you’re onto much higher figures. It’s just an air filter ffs doesn’t need to be carbon. Spend the money on more fun stuff! - £1500 for an air filter and intake pipe ffs 😂

Get rid of those dog shit Pirelli tyres and put some Michelin Sport 4s on it, you will thank the difference You will struggle to get any 18’s with the right off set to clear the front brakes 19 inch Oz super tourismo’s in graphite seems to be the favoured wheel in Europe, they actually look nice on the car, personally i like the original wheels they come with Just upgrade the rubber

No offence, but this is a bad idea. Get ready for big out of warranty for repair bills! .... you really need more power, driving your child around? ...

Completely disagree, the bad idea is taking it to clueless Audi dealerships who don’t have the first clue on servicing performance variants. Worst experience I’ve had with a prestige marque, with BMW M being best and AMG in the middle. In terms of modifying that’s also drivel - reliability is not a problem unless the person mapping is inexperienced or is asked to wind the car up beyond safe limits. Have owned enough modded cars over the last 20 years to know a modded one is often better looked after than many poverty spec versions owned by people who don’t have the first clue about preventative maintenance.
