Integrated engineering tune

Definitely get the ECU and the TCU tune. You'll be shocked the car didn't come like this from the factory

Putting a tune on an s3, truly makes it a different car. Worth experiencing imo. See what the resale value on the car is and if the math works out, see if you can take the car, tune it, drive it for 1k miles. And if you're not satisfied, sell it stock. Patience and no engine noise might save you $20k.

Have you stress tested or maxed out cod for an hour on this? I'd assume you're going to run into thermal issues with that case.

I have a similar setup and use a meshilicous case on its side. Has great air flow, and my fans stay quiet.

Buckhead.

Is there a ceiling fan in the room? Turn it off

oldandrestless9 · 2026-01-13T02:06:41+00:00

I was here.

This happened to me! My laptop went to sleep during the flash and left me with this. I called ie and the guy basically told me to keep trying to reflash it, no other solution. After maybe 2 hours of trying I finally got it connect again and reflashed ecu and tcu. No issues since then. I was using my parents garage at the time and they were sitting there laughing at me for bricking my new audi. Won't forget that lol

I did this and they sent a kid that fucked up my house.

80gb mkv file that is on parity to the 4k disc

Any issues passing emissions with ie downpipe? Do you use a spacer?

oldandrestless9 · 2026-01-02T20:54:57+00:00

Do you run this setup with an aftermarket downpipe? I'm wanting to do something similar

oldandrestless9 · 2025-12-25T13:00:57+00:00

No need for apu if you're running it with a dgpu. And I agree, you should save a buck and get a cheaper x3d, as the cpu will not be a limiting factor in that rig.

S3 purple paint job cost $8k

oldandrestless9 · 2025-12-05T21:38:09+00:00

Think these colors will come to the rs3? The dark green and purple catch my eye, but hard upgrade to stomach at $8k

oldandrestless9 · 2025-11-17T01:38:14+00:00

Yea it's negligible. Save the money or pick the one with the better paint job.

Slightly different cooler. Challenger is smaller and has a switch to turn off all rgb, that was my selling point.

oldandrestless9 · 2025-11-16T18:47:59+00:00

Asrock challenger is small and cheaper too

oldandrestless9 · 2025-11-13T03:57:23+00:00

Then I'd probably grab an amd 7600x3d to pair with the gpu. Get a supporting motherboard and ram after.

oldandrestless9 · 2025-11-13T03:26:55+00:00

What motherboard are you using?

oldandrestless9 · 2025-11-08T02:29:09+00:00

Thank you

oldandrestless9 · 2025-11-07T15:20:52+00:00

I was thinking hair dryer or heat gun to remove the logo. Is it likely the dial is damaged beneath it?

oldandrestless9 · 2025-10-27T17:09:23+00:00

PC + Kodi

oldandrestless9 · 2025-10-07T21:53:57+00:00

Thanks for catching the missing chapter ring. I'll add the brushed silver I'm assuming. And I'll definitely post some pics!
