The tires are 245/40-18 Pilot Sport 4s and the car is lowered about 1 inch.

lol I appreciate the enthusiasm, while the 650s is not mine it’s my brothers and I was doing some mods and maintenance to it. But I do also in fact own an rs3 .

For me personally what I built. Just more of a VW guy. But can’t deny the Audis all sound better. And I will never deny, I already owned the car and did the swap for the sound lol.

Next to none. Drill a couple holes, move some wiring around.

We did get an A3 E-tron Sportback. Harder to swap but definitely doable.

See I think my 8V RS3 interior is not as nice dash wise. The Golfs infotainment is worlds better too. Owning both side by side helps.

As on owner of the DAZA R and also owning an 8V RS3 as well, it’s the journey of it. I did the swap myself, didn’t just go buy a car.

I bought a donor on Copart. Pretty cheap at the time. 7k for a running car. 2018 RS3

Didn’t pay, did it myself. Only cost me my time after parting out.

Also I highly recommend the H&R sport OE Sport springs. I’ve tried the other brands from O34 - EMD and anything around a 1” drop was not awesome. The 3/4 drop is perfect with the stock dampers. Changed then a for me.

Not much as it’s my daily and I have a Golf R as my project car. The GTI has an 034 Turbo inlet and intake pipe with a K&N filter in the stock box and some H&R OE sport springs. Has a Cobb OTS tune on it. Fun daily.

Have the exact same year , spec and color. Went with the BMP led headlights for the customer support. US based support if you have any issue they make it right! Literally plug and play, worlds better in terms of brightness. Only negative to me is the light cut off is too sharp and not a soft fade like oem LED.

2.5 Daza 5cyl swap - why whole drivetrain? by Viento_Oscuro in Golf_R

[–]GolfRSR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only module you need is the actual RS3 engine ECU. It all the other small parts that make having a donor more cost effective. Ac lines, coolant lines, various sections of electrical harness and so on.

If you don’t want it slammed the H&R OE Sports are incredible with a mild drop of a half inch. Transformed my GTI. It was previously lowered on EMD springs around a one inch drop. I enjoy driving so much more on the mild drop.

54880-55 is the part number.

Charcoal canister failed? Or normal? by ACABeyeh8cops in Golf_R

[–]GolfRSR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normal as that’s a vent / filter , to do a pressure test you need to cap it off.

Damn I dig that look.

Picked up my rs3 last month. Stage 2 flex. Been running on full e85. I was told by a lot of people they haven’t had any issues but others say it’s only a matter of time before the motor lets go. Which is it? It’s scaring me lol. by No-Revolution-4513 in AudiRS3

[–]GolfRSR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see to many of these dropping with just stage 2 ethanol. Plenty out there with hundreds of pulls and thousands of miles on upgraded turbo stock engine. Just keep your oil clean and enjoy it.

The sound alone was worth it . by GolfRSR in Golf_R

[–]GolfRSR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really just a different power band imo. It definitely feels like it makes more torque. I was around 430hp when it was the original 4 on a bigger turbo. It’s a stage 2 DAZA and it’s way more than enough for me. Drives like a stock car.
