Just imagine once you do the inter cooler and suspension. Add another few k. Modding cars is a never ending thing
Easily another $2k lol and I can’t imagine if I decide to go with vortex and all the fueling mods etc
Yes the mods can get very addicting but you’re building this car for your sole enjoyment. It’s a nice S3 without a doubt, it just sucks that Audi don’t sell these in manual. Anyways, happy motoring cheers 💪🏽
Absolutely always! Trust me sometimes I do wish the states got the manual option but I really have learned to love the dsg and how awesome it is haha
I dropped way more than I thought too. Pretty much redid my sub frame/suspension with 034 motorsports pieces. Completely worth it!
Oh I hear ya man lol.. and this is barely cracking into the car. I can’t imagine once I do suspension, intercooler, all mounts, turbo, fueling etc. it’s scary lol
The prices werent bad for your tunes man, newer cars like these respond alot to stuff like that. When i had my evo it took $$$$$ for tuning software trans build etc so all in all i think the s3 you have is a great bang for the buck
Good stuff !!
Thank you!
Def better Image quality and audio. Much better. Keep it up
Thank you. I’m glad to hear it’s better
That's crazy I spent 1 grand on timing belt discs pads,major service but at least I know the cars good to go.minor mods caliper painted Audi projector door entrance lights, factory tints.
Old video just seeing this now, but where did you get your spoiler from?😍
Hi Diego, watch a lot of your content with my other account. Was just wondering, how has your experience been with the CTS Downpipe?
when it comes to the chargepipe and spark plugs would you say wait until i have the tune to do it all at once?
No matter what it’s worth it. This platform is one of the best
I couldn’t agree more
Just did an EQT Stage 1 93 octane on my A3. Feels like a beast now!
Awesome man! I’m sure she’s a blast to drive!
@@DArias yessir! You’re right about EQT.
dude that much for 400+ outta a 2.0t one these new audis is really sick. surprised everything done for 400+ ish was around that price range
The most basic setup such as a downpipe and stage 2 tune from a few companies can net some really good power and easy 11 second 1/4 miles!
off topic but i like your glasses. what brand are they?
I’ve heard those spark plugs are very troublesome for our platform. Did you end up with any issues?
Paddle shift extensions and mirror caps could be stock. But that’s just my opinion. Also, I would definitely upgrade intercooler
Absolutely you’re right. And for sure intercooler is huge. Running my Apr stock location one now and it’s a massive difference
Need that tune for my s3
It’s so worth it and they’re an awesome company with amazing customer service
What is your opinion on the CTS parts compared to its more expensive competitors?? Difference in quality ? Power ?
Tbh ive never had an issue with any cts part. Quality have been great all my parts over the years from different cars have held up great. I have their inlet pipe, intake and downpipe on my S3 and love it. Makes all the right sounds and it’s affordable. A win win!
Peel that P3 gauge bro, sweet ride!
It’s been done! Lol thanks man!
Link for carbon lip spoiler?
What lens on the camera? Easy to tell the difference in the better quality
It’s the lens that comes in the kit I think a 15mm-45mm. And I’m glad! I just watched the video from RUclips itself and at least to me it seems much better.
Who can recommend a tuner on the East Coast with real experience to back to recommendation?
Please and thank you 🙏🏼
Great video. I went with an apr tune/cold air intake.
Thanks man! And nice! I’ve been loving my Apr intake setup
This video I had the CTS but currently I’m running the carbon Apr one
@@DArias that’s what I’m using! Was a bit of a pain putting it on but love it
I’m looking at a19 s3 in dark grey do u feel the car is fun and fast
Coming from much slower cars it feels really fast to me haha. But regardless this are 11 second capable 1/4 cars with basic bolt ons on stock turbo so I say absolutely go for it!
can you link the exact trunk lip you have
Here is the link

ohhh nice i'm looking into light wheels and tires. What size tires are you going with? I was thinking of going 265/35R18 xD
Also i'm slowly realizing how much i'm putting into the car as well and its starting to add up.
I’m bought 245/40/18 I didn’t wanna get something too too meaty but just enough to sit nice and flush haha. And yeah man the prices rack up so quickly ..
Is 265 even possible? Widest iv seen is 255
@@RicardoHernandez-st1tg Not 100% sure but it would put me only .5mph off my ODO and my wheels are gonna be 9.5 wide most people run the 255 on 18/9 so I should be ok.
@@wyvern3525 Id like to see that wheel/tire setup. Id personally would just go with some 245’s and go with some sticky tires if traction is the reason you’re getting 265s
@@RicardoHernandez-st1tg Although now i'm considering 255 lol
400 hp at the crank, u need a lot more mods to get that number at the wheels
Yessir you’re not wrong. Though a fbo r/s3 can come close to 400whp even seen a few exceed that. Not claiming mine makes that though
And you can tell he never got his fingers dirty modding it.
How did you decide to chase HP in an S3 instead of getting an RS?
RS is more than double the money which unfortunately right now I just can’t justify as it would be too much every month haha and the MQB platform is super capable so I’m having fun for now. If I decide to go daza in the future it would probably be with a ttrs
@@DArias S3 is around $43k and an RS3 is around $56k. Definitely not cheap!
I bought my s3 used though before market blow up I paid under $30k for mine lol so it was an easy decision. Rn prices are outrageous all over!
Hey man. I've got an Audi A3 Quattro 1.8 ltrs. Is tuning doable on this or the engine is too small? Thanks for your response
totally doable, nothing apr tho
what about fine tuning suspension , anti roll bar bushes , or changing the coil springs on the rear , a car is no good going really fast if cant stay on the road , get the basics right !!
No no you’re right $1k a month is a ton lmao. Worth it though
Don’t get me wrong I don’t regret it at all lol
Everyone in the comments could save money if they messaged team mod garage. Can get you the deals for all these parts.
Nice! The cheaper the better. Might have to come to you for more parts myself
@@DArias sorry wasn't trying to promote on your channel just trying to help everyone out. Car looks great man.
That’s cool man! I want all my subs or whoever watches my videos to get the best prices no matter where that is! All cool
Either way you look at it, over $6k is any amount of time put into a car is a lot lmao
That’s what I think too lol but there will be some people who say it’s nothing
Can you pass your emissions with your down pipe
Yessir, Catted downpipe passes with no problem
Highy doubt those mods gave u 400bhp
These cars on e30 tunes make upwards of high 300s so technically if we’re going off bhp it would be over 400
NO PULLSSSS ?????????????????????????????????
I think it’s a lot as well but at the same time you get enjoy the mods sooner and for longer.
The picture looks better, more contrast.
You’re so right about that! And it’s only gonna go higher and higher cost soon lol and I’m glad the quality is a bit better I need to play with the settings on the camera more but thank you!
