My new RS3 DAYTONA

Post by nshort10 » Tue Sep 04, 2012 9:14 am

Hey guys

AFter moving house, and finally getting the internet today thought it was time to get the photos uploaded.

I had a golf gtd dsg before the rs3, which was fantasic at the time due to the miles i was doing but missed the AWD and the speed. I had a s3 sportback before the golf and loved it everyday but it was starting to cost alot on fuel and felt like a change to the golf.

I picked the car from halesowan audi just at Birmingham after 300 mile drive from Glasgow. After signing all the papers i was finally able to take her away. The hand over was fantastic and had the biggest grin on my face the whole way home!

After pulling out the dealership and heading to manchester ( had to take the other half shopping as i got something new, she wanted a new pair of shoes haha) to do a bit of shopping at the trafford centre. Driving on the motorway just felt as gd as the golf, prob a bit better as i didnt feel or hear as much road noise in the RS.

Image

I couldnt have been any happier, the power, the speed and handling were top class and made it worth the wait!

Once i got up the road, i gave the car a clean a couple days after (due to the weather up here) and it keeps growing on me each time i clean it!

The only downfall i have on the daytona grey is it doesnt seem to look good in photos for some reason, always better in person when you see it.

But i do love the fact i can drive it, with not alot of people staring at it cause it blends in nicely but its only if people know what car it is look which i love.

The cars been fantastic so far, ive got the front windows a slight tint, planning on getting MTM wheels later this year/ start of 2013, milly second by pass pipes and chip either mrc or mtm i think

hope you guys like it.

That does look fantastic, the front splitter lip is growing on me.

Mods planned already... Nice one.

What sort of power will it churn out after it has had those mods?

Thanks for comments guys.

Will get about 410 bhp with the chip.

Yeh I'm over the moon with the car. Just took my mate out a spin and he was shaking with fear. Big chicken! But he was amazed at the speed of it.

So I'm happy haha

Ordered some new Audi a5 led number plate lights for the rs3 on Thursday they arrived in yesterday and got them fitted also.

Got an error up on saying there was a bulb fault but managed to get it removed yesterday.

Massive difference at night makes the car look newer and updated with them.

Also got led interior bulbs order from em tuning so hopefully get them fitted next week one day once they arrive.

you need to make sure you drive around with the windows open at night so you can hear people saying "wow look at the plate lights on that!"

Yes very although the glovebox and boot ones are a bit diddly to get the terminals lined up spot on
