Re: RS3 turbo upgrades

Ah yes, the TTE is another one. For the power these kits are quite cheap

I'm guessing they managed to outrun the cops?

Re: RS3 turbo upgrades

As I suspected, there aren't many turbo upgraded cars around....

Have a look at these kits, they are seriously tempting:

RS3 turbo upgrades

Hello, I previously had a C6 RS6 and now have a CLS63 AMG as my weekend car. I'm looking to replace my daily driver which is currently a highly modified Subaru Forester XT. I'm looking for a very fast car that doesn't look too big or expensive so I can park it outside of my business without copping ...

Re: RS6 C7 vs CLS63

Well, I ended up buying a CLS. It wasn't that I particularly preferred the CLS but the RS6 seems to be holding its value which meant it would be a new car buy whereas I got a 2014 CLS63S with 3400km around 80k cheaper than a new RS6. It's early days but these are how it compares to my old C6 RS6: So...

Re: RS6 C7 vs CLS63

Hi, last motor was CLS 63 Shooting Brake (2013 Model) but not the S version, UK edition at the time was ~ 550 BHP standard on the shooting brakes, so a bit down on the current S version. Cabin: CLS was more of a luxury ambiance than a sporting one you get with the RS6. After a year the CLS generate...

Re: RS6 C7 vs CLS63

Both great cars so it'll be tough to make a bad choice:) Bloody hell, twice the rainfall of London. Probably the RS6 me thinks then:)[/quote] Both cars are great..... Hmmmm..... The RS6 certainly would handle the moist climate here better. Its a real shame that Mercedes won't do the 4-matic AMGs in ...

Re: RS6 C7 vs CLS63

Byron is beautiful. I did my schoolies week there and have been back many times. Are you an ex-Sydneysider? There are so many that have quit Sydney's madness for Byron. I grew up in Tuncurry/Forster... now I'm here. Yes, I'm originally from Sydney, got sick of the congestion etc. Now live on 70 acr...

Re: RS6 C7 vs CLS63

Thanks guys. I live near Byron Bay on the east coast, we get over twice London's annual rainfall. I prefer the RS6, but the value proposition of the second hand CLS63's here is hard to overlook. I can get an 18 month old CLS63 S with less than 5000 km for 175k, that's over 100k off the new price! Th...

Re: RS6 C7 vs CLS63

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the AMGs have a slightly older fashioned image here too (except the C63 which is bought by people in the younger age brackets). I like to tune a car after a year or so of ownership and both the RS6 and the CLS are quite tunable, although increasing the CLS's power may not...

RS6 C7 vs CLS63

Hi everyone, sadly I've written off my beloved 2010 RS6 and I'm in the market for another car. I'm looking at getting a new or used C7 RS6. I've also noticed that here in Australia the CLS63 S AMGs depreciate a lot in the first couple of years which makes them good value as a newish second hand buy....

Re: Removing catalytic converters

Combination of removal of primary cats, installation of high flow secondary cats and custom-made 3'' exhaust in my case resulted in 50 BHP gain across the revs. The car felt considerably faster but also MUCH louder. I'd advise to test one before doing so in own car as it is pain in the ass to get b...

Re: Removing catalytic converters

Speak to perthRS6, he has a 2 maps on his RS6 and he is in OZ, removing the primary cat will need to be coded into the map to stop the EML coming on. taking that out it would be worth while getting a stage 2 map. Thanks Trups, I'll contact perthRS6. I can get the software upgrade to prevent the car...
