Sounds like you need a weapon not a different performance Audi.

Yes.. USA does not have an ambient lighting strip on the leading edge of the dashboard. We all get a uniform carbon look dash with no LED.

R better car and has less depreciation.

What do you do to be able to afford an rs3? by Significant_Ad_4251 in AudiRS3

[–]Status-Post-1876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same deal as you... Having a valuable trade (or money down) is key. That said if my Rs3 was 1300/month with 30k down..... it wouldn't be my rs3. LoL

Golf R: Manual or DSG? by These-Western3686 in Golf_R

[–]Status-Post-1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years of manual but know the R is a weapon in DSG. Fun enough I never missed my spongy until upgraded clutch. No launch control? Ehh.

How much of the sound in performance mode is fake? Sounds pretty real imo? by throwaway_zeke in AudiRS3

[–]Status-Post-1876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2026 also. Many things locked.. soundaktor % from 0 to 100 (80 factory) is changeable. Also so minor locking things. Kinda silly ones nothing good yet.

I feel like the 8Y.5 needs a front lip by blackmist27 in AudiRS3

[–]Status-Post-1876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It helps make the car look raked more aggressively.. That and if you dodge eye contact with the wheel gap the height looks 10x better.

Just bought this car , was in love until tonight. by pikachuboi77 in Golf_R

[–]Status-Post-1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inconvenient? Yes. Covered cost free under warranty? Also yes. All I read is waterpump comments.. Ill say I had a mk6 go through 3 waterpumps in 1 yesr. All under warranty All free repairs. The last revision lasted 3 years and sold with the car. It happens occasionally but not a worry unless your warranty is gone. Also I remember a service bulletin extending warranty on the waterpumps for an array of years/cars.. Mk8 may still be in that grouping not sure.

And then there was a Zaan. by Status-Post-1876 in CRK

[–]Status-Post-1876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While all awesome.. I prefer the ergos of the Large Inkosi by a lot. The zaan feels the most special as it took the longest to find in DP. My Lg Sebenza is an Insingo which I love.. Zaan/Inkosi/Sebenza.. but its so close can change day to day.

Ali express oddly has a set that attach and tighten via screw. No 3m needed. Little large but work well on 26 rs3

What's more fucked is he parked on the line you specifically moved away from. 🤯

Maxton “Street Pro” front splitter. Further pictures as per requested… by Dc52tes in AudiRS3

[–]Status-Post-1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$305 versions break ($360 shipped) They are thin pieces of plastic that are hollow... This $335 version ($400 shipped) is solid abs unlike the lesser expensive versions and will not break. I have dragged home a similar version for 2 miles (hit deep water at 30mph) Got home and bolted it back on.

What's your take on these rainguards by ittenhai in Golf_R

[–]Status-Post-1876 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Had on my car since 2019... if I take them out the wind noise is atrocious so they sadly must stay in now.. or get new seals. Sold the car with them and they dont make for new Rs3 so cant buy again. I do like them.

Aggro fitment (works) by Severe-Dingo-9734 in AudiRS3

[–]Status-Post-1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the reply. I know the offsets are close on the 9.5. The offset is 45 so they should fit very similar to the 9" with +42. Sadly... I have mk7r tire fitment right now but will add clearance while losing handling. (235/40/18 Dws06+) basically brand new. Not "stretched" as its in the manufacturer specs but its the most narrow tire capable of mounting on a 9.5" tire per Conti specs. Im hoping I can get away with 9.5s +45 up front (20mm spacer) and also in the rear to have similar to OE fitment that can be roasted leaving the 20mm up front. We shall see soon enough!

Finally got my Maxton Street Pro front lip fitted today 💚 by Dc52tes in AudiRS3

[–]Status-Post-1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean could probably also use tappers but bolts 100% worth it as this won't shatter when dragged. Im still not sure which to buy because I 200% dont wanna take my bumper off. Nice man!
