@@frax77 oh gotcha! I thought the stance and wheel combo was perfect. Still eyeing this car, but then again i'm a big Lexus guy who cares about reliability. =)
@@OhanaRVing I was a huge Lexus fan, but bought an RS3 three years ago. I now have 65k on it, and I drive it hard 99 percent of time. So far it’s been excellent! Audi 5 cylinder and dsg trans is proven reliable. Only Audi I would buy other than R8.
How do you find the quality of the gel quattro lettering from Blacklabelz mate? Do they last well enough? Keen to get tour feedback as I saw you posted on a forum you had ordered some & I think they look great!
They have surprised me actually. I was fully prepared to watch them go flying off on the first wash but to this day they are still in place and look as good as new. Would highly recommend. Just be sure to take your time applying them and prep the surface as best you can.
Handling wise, the RCF feels heavy in corners but it can be playful on the way out. The RS3 will tend to understeer when pushed, but once you're passed an apex it puts the power down well. I would say the RCF is a more comfortable ride for longer trips - RS3 suspension tends to be a bit bouncy. Power wise the RS3 feels far more manic, that kind of kick in the face when the boost kicks in. RCF power feels more lazy but once she's moving it just keeps on pulling. In reality these cars are very different - it all comes down to driving priorities. Hope that helps.
They are very different beasts for sure. I love the drama behind the design language of the RC-F both inside and especially outside - it certainly knows how to make an entrance. The V8 is a strong engine and the 8 speed is descent but if I was comparing it to the RS3's engine I would say that the Lexus feels a little more lethargic. Engine sound on both of these cars is amazing although the 5 cylinder edges out the V8 for me, if only for the fact that it is a more unique sound in the automotive world. I miss the front seats of the F (the Audi ones are nice but not as comfy), but I don't miss the 2 door practicality.....or rather my son doesn't miss it. :) I guess my last point would be around all out performance and unfortunately (or fortunately) the Audi takes the cake here, not only out of the box but also in terms of future tune-ability. Don't get me wrong, I love the RC-F and do miss it - the RS3 is just a better fit for me at the moment. :)

Great Vlog as always, mate! **thumbsup**
Thankyou sir, much appreciated 😁
Great looking car Frax77, nice mods done well.
Thanks mate 🙏
wheel setup please. Size and offset
BC Forged RZ22 - Dark Brushed Black. F: 19x9.5 ET42 (clear front brakes) - R: 19x9.5 ET45 (deep concave) - Tyres: 255/30R19
@@frax77 Any modifications to run this setup and do you get any rubbing at all?
@@johntaylor1463 no mods required and absolutely no rubbing, even with the lowering springs installed.
Why did you sell your RC F?
The back seat was becoming a bit of a squeeze for my 13 yr old son who is just about as tall as me! 😄

nice car!
but a bit sad the rcf is away...
The RC-F was a gorgeous car. Unfortunately my kid is getting a bit big for a 2 door 😆
That was fun Alex! Nicely done, and of course I do love the red bits and pieces very much. You can never have too much red!!

Power and handling compared to the RCF whats your opinion cheers

Frax 77 Great response. I will be in the market for a RC-F next year so this helped highlight some concerns. Thank you.
