This may very well be the greatest RUclips video I have ever seen! Lol. Thank you so much to both of you for such a fun day of filming. Can't wait to do it again next year when the car is even faster!!
Hey man how u doing the car looks immense as ever! Do you have a link for the gauges on your left and if it can be mounted on the right side as in rhd? All the best from the UK
@@TC-db5fm Thanks! The gauges are from Zeitronix. One is for my ethanol content and the other is multi-purpose, reading my AFR, boost and so on. The actual mount is a custom piece by Reiter Performance. If we have enough interest in them we will make a bunch and sell them.
The S3/RS3 platforms are some of the most underlooked platforms. Super small footprint and is just the right size with crazy under stressed iron block engines and 4 wheel drive that allow for reliable high power builds. Also its so low that it feels so planted on the ground with the high curb weight (3500 lbs).
Rookie To Pro direct injection and modern turbocharger technology have boosted mileage, power, and reduced emissions to keep the EPA and us gear heads happy
If u ever get a chance to get a mk2 ttrs to drive u will truely enjoy it its a 5 cylinder turbo stick shift they are awesome i have been with audi for 11 years now and still one of my fav cars to drive and to look at
Adam's videos motivated me to buy a 2019 RS3! Love the car so far bone stock! I would be happy with a full weight flat 11 second daily car. Time will tell.
If you can afford one of these just make sure there is half the cars msrp sticker price in the bank for repairs because once a tune goes on it, wave bye-bye to your power train warranty.
I really like your outlook about racing, yes we al want to win but having fun is the most important. Thanks for your vidz as I am currently looking for an RS3 to buy myself.
RS3 is the fastest car in Audi’s Lineup. Nothing else can beat it with Stage 2 and E85. This car weighs only 100lb more then the V10 R8 and makes 700whp compared to the R8s 500-600 range, with that you can’t even Tune, you gotta Supercharge it or Twin Turbo. RS3 is the best deal for someone who wants a 0-60 2.5 car and 600-700whp on stock Trans, Turbo, Motor for 60k new, plus the 5-6k to upgrade.
Almost bought this car a 2018 rs3 instead choose a 2020 m340 to mod out I still question my decision til this day the m340 stock sounded and felt better but I feel this car has so much potential and it’s so clean looking it just felt less fun less slippery way more of a controlled car
Great people and great people! I love Roads Untraveled. Nice Audi, nice guy! So grateful, so appreciate able, so humble!! GG Guys fucking great content !
Yeah that's what few owners will tell you - service life of these super high boost engines is severely compromised. If you love rebuilding engines or have a shop nearby that's great, for others not so much
Having a built motor does not provide any additional performance unless it is tuned to use those forged internals. I have always used Off The Shelf tuning solutions on the stock turbo.
Love the 3 series Audi's. Both the S3 and RS3 are great bang for the buck dailies. Wish I could've got one, but budget allowed for a Elantra sport dct. Still a fun alternative lol
I can't wait to get my new RS3 sportback and put that new ecu/tcu plus + upgrade; My GOD it's not only going to haul ass but I feel I'm going to loose my driver's license in south Florida. But I don't care!
Why do they put Quattro on it when it’s not a Quattro? I’ve had many Stage 3 Audi’s and definitely want one of these next. Already had two 8V S3’s with major builds and loved them. I still miss my Stage 3+ B5 S4 though the most.
I'm guessing with the purchase of the car and everything that has been done to it including rebuilt of the engine you're looking at a good 85k I guess when you have that kind of money to spend you're not worrying about reliability or resale value and to that I say to you it's an amazing built and a great achievement for the money
@@stinger15au Weight farther away from the axis of rotation (wheel/tire) matters more than weight closer to the center (rotor). A lightweight BBK or just two piece rotors in stock size would make more sense. You could get 17" wheels in the same width that weigh 5lbs less each than the current aftermarket wheels.
@@Lethal_Venom I'm the same. I love all different makes and models as long as they're fast. Love me the new GT500. Dying to see how well it does on the track.
Why you running front wheel drive only? Your clip of drag strip was front spin, quattro, proper quattro is slightly rear wheel oriented until the front grabs due to its group B rally history, and mostly cous of ice, sleet snow and mud on the stage. It's just an observation but please explain, I'd like to know
I only do a FWD burnout at the drag strip to warm up the front tires to improve my launch. Before I launch the car, I switch it back to AWD. I show how I do this in this video: ruclips.net/video/-yITpLYLrHY/видео.html

I agree, win or lose it’s about having fun, all too often you get certain types of people who want to bag on you if you lose to them
Seriously, this guy is a breath of fresh air.
Turbo 5 cylinder is the sound of victory!
Another stellar video, my dude. 👍
This is my dream car! 5 cylinders are amazing. Drove a heavily modified Focus RS 5 cylinder that my buddy modified for a client in Australia.
The RS3 is my dream car and I plan on buying one next year. I can't wait!

Stage 2 and 600 hp wow!
Greetings from Russia! I had my rs3 st3 500+ hp non methanol - best car ever
Love the car man, always been an Audi fan and miss my B7 RS4 everyday. Keep up the good work
Huge huge Fan! Audi is the best to me! So bad ass! I currently have an S4, would love an RS model. Keep up the good work! Hope to see more
A fine example for stage 2 rs3 owners worldwide 👍
Crazy how it sounds just like their V10. If I had my eyes closed, I’d have thought this was a Huracan or R8 V10 video
Cause it's basically half of a 5.2L V10 .

Thanks! I appreciate your kind words
I normally don’t like aftermarket exhaust on the this car but you guys did it right.
It is actually the OEM sport exhaust that came with the car. I've only upgraded the downpipe and the midpipes.
It's crazy you uploaded this because I've been saving all year to buy one lol and it's in the color I want!!!
the haircut is hilarious. sick car though
Absolute dream car
Man, I love Audi rs3 such a nice car
it has the best exhaust sound period
Great vids bro .. I love the sounds of this stock turbo from RS3 engine .. Keep it up with more vids .. 💪💪💪

You should try the audi s3 sport back, especially the S-tronic 310ps model, they're so much fun
Ultimate sleeper
Great video!
You forgot to mention the 2003 RS6 as the first RS car offered in the states. We only got 900 sedan and 0 avants of that 2003 RS car
My s3 is Quattro? 300bhp , seems a great daily car so far :) java Green

Bruh you could of got an A3, My A3 is cooler looking than both and as fast as an RS3 for less than S3 money !
Amen brother!! actually , add the A3 Quattro on the list. The A3 with the IS38 turbo is getting similar performance as the S3.
I also got an ES DCT, phenomenal car for the price, and it’s an awesome sleeper
Es is a great option! Wish we got the N fastback I. The states with a dct
I don't know why people don't keep the original rims they make the car looks more like a sleeper 👌
I switched mine up because the OEM wheels are heavy
It's an RS3... There is nothing sleeper about it unless you delete the badge, etc etc. Lol
Man you really fluffed the numbers in the title.

Quattro is simply the name Audi uses for their AWD systems. It doesn't refer to a specific type of AWD system.
