Bought an Audi A3 s-line * 1
    #26899665 - 08/25/20 11:25 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

So as title says I bought a 2020 Audi A3.  Already thinking of modding it, but I don't want to void my warranty.  I have a plan, and shop in place to get that tiny fucker spitting out 400+hp and 500+ft-lbs of torque, all the while keeping it near stock in appearance. Man I want to do it so badly, but might as well wait till the warranty expires argh.

Its tough I came from a Cadillac ATS rear wheel drive 3.6 liter v6. Popped in a CTS V engine and transmission from a wreck, had a forged crank and better journal bearings out in along with forged pistons. Fucker was fire breathing demon but not so nice in there lovely New England winters, hence why I went all wheel drive.'

Well we will see how long I can keep my speed demon urges under control. Its pretty peppy for only having 200hp, but got 250 torque which helps a lot.  Gonna start with new wheels (originals will turn into snow tires and new breaks to reduce unsprung weight.

Cool OP. Sounds dope. If I could pick one car it would be an Audi and a lot of folks would agree. Very comfortable with quality parts.

I'm sure with everything you do you always pick the cheapest and lowest quality goods due to your mind expanding at an exponential rate so the universe is just barely keeping up with the condescension

Man.. I've 200hp in my bike; no way I could deal with that in a car!!

My vote goes for voiding the warranty; you can probably free up upwards of 50hp with simple bolt ons alone. Nice and easy to remove, if required.

There's a couple of them - S3's, I believe - which regularly attend car meets near where I walk my dog. Got talking to some of the guys that go there and apparently they have a 'pop and bang tune' on them:

https://www.ziptuning.com/tuning-file/pop-bang/

I swear to fuck it's the most dumbass thing I've ever seen done to a car. Annoying AF to everyone outside it; sounds terrible, and does nothing for performance.

Gets way better gas mileage than my last car, so I see that as an improvement. I gonna get a second set of rims with blizzaks is the plan, probably in October.  Yeah bikes make lots of HP these days, great in a straight line but contact patch is too small to carry any speed through corners, and God forbid  you're tail gating (not saying you do but I see plenty of people on their liter bikes doing this) and I have to jam on my brakes, you'll probably end up in my backseat in the best case scenario.  Also, saw a bike rider racing a car down a highway known for a particularly s curved section get high-sided... don't think he survived.

I find Audis too proper clean for me. They kinda got a little of that "my shit dont stink" going on. I might be wrong, i lack the passion for cars.

l want to spend my money on one of those VW offroad vans :rockon:

VW is cool. Great vehicles really. They make Audi though and it's specifically a little higher teir so if I were to say I like Audi I'm really saying VW makes some good shit. If it seems a little more gaudy it's honestly supposed to be. I'd love to get an A4 and upgrade it myself. Second to that you can get a lot out of a Jetta .

LOL, did you just try and turn this into a cars vs bikes thing because my bike has as much power as your shiny new car?

The reason I brought that up is to lend some weight to the suggestion that you should get more power. I wasn't trying to shame you or one up you or something like that.

Besides, cars vs bikes cannot be argued from a purely technical standpoint. Bikes have a soul and inspire passion and connection in a way that cars just cannot do. True, it takes a certain kind of mindset to dive deep into bikes, but so does taking psychedelics.

A bike with 200 horse power is probably pretty heavy and won't handle well. I prefer 600cc.

It would handle differently. The faster a vehicle is the less sensitive it should be at high speeds. A heavier bike would stop better at identical speeds too for obvious reasons.

LOL. I see your knowledge of bikes is impeccable!!

The bike in question is a 1000cc but - as was touted by the reviews when it first came out - it is roughly the same size as, and handles like, a 600.

I have a bike too, love them though the liter bikes are getting a bit out of control with weight/hp thing, its too much for greater than 99.9% of riders to handle.  Also, I got high-sided at like 20 miles an hour when learning to ride lol, landed on m feet and kept my grip, eased of throttle and hopped back on scary.

And yeah I'm a more power guy, but some of those bikes are fucking scary.

I have Blizzaks on my S5. You can't go wrong with the ridiculous amount of traction. From what I've heard, Hakkas will tolerate 'warm' weather driving better so you'll get more out of them if it's your only 4-season vehicle. I'd probably go with them next to try them out, but we're looking to unload the Audi to make way for a Wrangler.

Word of advice: if you get Blizzaks, DON'T swap them early when the weather turns nice in spring thinking you can deal with summers for a few weeks. The scariest drive I've ever had was getting stuck on Peak-to-Peak when the weather turned.

Don't know anything about bikes. My wife is an engineer and worked out the math for me: slugs + motorcycle = death. She went to a good school so I trust her.

Patlal doesn't like Audis, finds the design cues to be boring (they are very conservative in their design languague) I don't think the fact they don't like a particular type of car warrants a personal attack. :2cents:

My friend has the same car from work

He bought a fast Renault Megane RS on the side to play around with

Patlal doesn't like Audis, finds the design cues to be boring (they are very conservative in their design languague) I don't think the fact they don't like a particular type of car warrants a personal attack. :2cents:



Audi's are boring looking. Excluding the most modern models they were never far off from a Volvo, a rich suburban soccer mom vehicle. They were always supposed to look low key. I love Audi. I don't think he's wrong.. :shrug:

I dont think they look boring at all

They look like quality cars with very subtle "form follows function" design cues

With the exception of the sport models like the R-series and I don't think they make small cars, they don't look a whole lot different from a Ford or a Honda. They do look more expensive for sure, but only marginally imo. Like look up a ford fusion and then an a4

They both look very much like cars indeed

The Ford is more aggressively styled imo

Yesterday, while in traffic, I saw a Ford Explorer with decal on the back that went like this:




Ford Tough

Gave me a laugh.

More of a van-man myself

Or perhaps even a truck or a big SUV

Anything that lets me sit upright and look out over the other traffic

LOL. I see your knowledge of bikes is impeccable!!

The bike in question is a 1000cc but - as was touted by the reviews when it first came out - it is roughly the same size as, and handles like, a 600.



This is very cute to me

I have voided my warranty long ago

 


I'd love an Audi for in city but this vehicle's my adventure rig and it's a fun one at that.  I've swapped in a nissan titan suspension and drivetrain.

So as title says I bought a 2020 Audi A3.  Already thinking of modding it, but I don't want to void my warranty.  I have a plan, and shop in place to get that tiny fucker spitting out 400+hp and 500+ft-lbs of torque, all the while keeping it near stock in appearance. Man I want to do it so badly, but might as well wait till the warranty expires argh.

Its tough I came from a Cadillac ATS rear wheel drive 3.6 liter v6. Popped in a CTS V engine and transmission from a wreck, had a forged crank and better journal bearings out in along with forged pistons. Fucker was fire breathing demon but not so nice in there lovely New England winters, hence why I went all wheel drive.'

Well we will see how long I can keep my speed demon urges under control. Its pretty peppy for only having 200hp, but got 250 torque which helps a lot.  Gonna start with new wheels (originals will turn into snow tires and new breaks to reduce unsprung weight.




No pics?

I Cannot unsee that now, thanks for turning my 45k purchase into a jelly been :rofl2:

Those (what I thought where) dumb accent lighting from the open door is actually super useful.  It was poring the other day and every where was pudddles so I parcked in what I thought was the shallowest one, opened door, those rings showed it to be about 3.5" deep, was like naw and moved to a spot where puddle was less than 0.25" but reflections in area made it look much deeper.

That's clean.. I like those rims too. Some people will drop a lot of money into a beautiful car, but then fuck it all to shit by throwing on some garbage ass rims.

Side note. Chrome on trucks looks horrible. Please no chrome trimming with chrome rims.
