Ha ha

I was convinced I was going to get the car remapped almost straight away but now a little concerned with warranty etc.

What's the general concenciois of opinion on that?

At your own risk. If you have a good relationship with the dealer then expect more leeway. If you lunch your drivetrain expect a big headache and a large bill.

My service manager said be careful as they check for remaps in warranty claims by default now

As my first RS3 destroyed it's engine with 5k miles on it I am very cautious about getting mine remapped

I was going to go Revo on a map, is MRC preferred?

Whats the score with remapping, does the ECU have to be removed? Can Audi spot its been done?

In terms of tuners MTM - Mayer was a engine designer for Audi, in Germany MTM remaps don't or didn't void the warranty

In terms of development I doubt anyone does as much testing to ensure no long term issues as APR (many of there cars have 100k miles + with no issues) they also have a 600bhp stage 3 in development for the i5 engine

That is a lovely pussy, maybe a bit on the hairy side, maybe another pic with a brazilian would be good

Well the RS3 finally turned up at 5pm on Friday. The dealer delivered it to the wrong address which was highly frustrating when you spent all day at work waiting for it (not being able to do anything due to being like a big kid and mega excited), went and met the driver at the wrong address.

Anyway.. Took it out straight away for a spin.. First thing I noticed was the fact it was reporting 33 Mpg from the 165 delivery miles which I was pleasantly surprised to see. It was pretty much empty so went to fill it up and then it was out onto some exciting local roads.. Straight away you can tell the car is very very easy to drive very fast but I still hadn't had the chance to open her up.

I came up behind a couple of cars, one was a super mini with a granny at the wheel with a BMW 330 behind it, I peaked my nose out to see if anything was coming, which made the 330 react and overtake straight away, the road is really straight so I followed the BMW and then as he pulled in I thought i'd take him too which I don't think he liked as he continued to accelerate hard, I responded by mashing the accelerator to the floor, the DSG kicked down, picked up very very quickly as I left the BMW behind. I took a glance at the speedo I bounced along the bumpy B road and was doing silly speed for the road. Was completely shocked and a little scared to tell the truth, I don't think I really understood how fast this car was. Its what I needed to give it 100% respect. By this point it was 6pm and the roads were very busy so I took it home to show the misses, we went out for a slowish drive, and a potter around town. Around town its a little bumpy, but our local roads are in very poor condition. So nothing to complain about, would say very similar in ride compared to a 32.

The car was covered in flies from the delivery miles so washed it first thing on Saturday. Normally by this point I find all the scratches, knocks, dents etc but the car is in perfect condition. I certainly found a perfect car, am very happy!

Popped out for another drive and this time managed to have a proper play. The roads were nice and quiet, turned the Sport button on and straight in Sport mode on the DSG, around the twisties its very very quick, all the loads on power on tap to pull you out of corners, and great stopping power by the massive brakes. The Sport mode on DSG is a little lazy to get going with but then as soon as you start pushing it, it seems to respond which is nice because in my R32 DSG it was full on all the time but this seems to react to how you want to drive.

Had a bit of rain today, perfect conditions to test out the launch control. Does just what it says on the tin, f**ks off very quickly, the car doesn't seem to bog down so much as the 32 used to. Sounds ace too!

All in all, It's a completely stunning car. So pleased I went for this over the Golf R..

A few pictures.. sorry raining today..
