@@YRCapTrain what sound do you mean? It’s just the OEM exhaust there sounds like that in launch mode

@ oh wow it sounds very diff in a good way what’s mod do you have for the exhast?

@ it’s completely stock. It’s the 2018 model, just before they came with the DPF, which blocks the sound and a bit performance as well. Which year is yours? If it’s late 2018 or newer, you have DPF

Have you heard the Dundon inconel mini crack pipe? 😎

@@BravoPDK yes absolutely Dundon is badass as well and their exhausts are top notch💯

It did understeer in this video. As an ex Audi owner…they are great all rounders but they lack sportiness and are a bit dull when it come do driver enjoyment

@@davidbestea4221that copy paste opinion it’s invalid, since I’m not a professional pilot driving all day on a circuit, I enjoy more the S3 than a BMW M2.

I feel like people just repeat what some reviewer says online. Does it handle like a Miata? Not even close. But these cars aren't even close to as bad as people claim them to be. My RS3, which is even heavier on the front, has never understeered on a public road. I like to driver a "little" faster on a twisty backroad, but you'd have to be driving it at absolutely criminal speeds for that to happen. On track, well yes it does happen, but thats to be expected.

@@13CoBrA95 Preach! I think people need to understand what they're buying before going into insane criticisms about something. The S3 is an amazing comapct all-rounder daily driver car. It's the jack of all trades (great handling but not superb, excellent power, but not insane, great for road trips but not for large groups of people, etc...) If it's too small, then the S4 is your next step (but you do lose some of that fun driving dynamic that the S3/RS3 give you). Every car is purpose built. Figure out what you want, then get it!

Add a thicker anti-roll bar, $150, and the car trail brakes. Add some stiffer mounts/inserts to trans/engine/subframe connections, and good vibes come through. An extra 100 lbs. of sound deadening softens those vibes and elevates the stereo. The point is, no perfect car exists. I think an M3 is a well-tamed boat, but it's the next person's hype car. But find a good platform with a good aftermarket and make it into what you want.

Turanza tires. You can’t ask for miracles

If you had an S3 you would know that acceleration will cause a lot of understeer. Best cornering speed is with little or no power.

Do the resonator delete. It makes a big difference.

res delete makes it sound like this

setting Bridgestone Turanza

It was switched off. I forgot to do it at the beginning 😅😅 I basically prefer to do it since these cars love to kill rear brake pads when it’s on.

1 push and it is off, hold for 6 seconds and its even more off, but never completely.

Haha, you know... they love to do "instagram stories" about everything

Víctor López Lekunberri Hola, es una S-Tronic de 7 velocidades bañada en aceite (húmeda). Es la que lleva el restyling, más suave y aguanta más par motor por si quieres potenciar. Es la misma del RS3. En el pre restyling el coche iba con 6 marchas. Las cajas de 7 en seco la lleva el 1.5 gasolina en el restyling y los pre 1.4 y 1.8, siente tfsi. Los diésel montan 6 húmedas. Espero haberte ayudado.

@@santiagoportalupisanchez7126 si te lo preguntaba porque yo monto en mi leon Fr la dq381 7v (húmeda) queria saber si compartimos la misma o es la dq500...

Juan Covilla si actualmente tienes un Cupra con plataforma mqb entiendo que estás al tanto que son primos de plataforma uno y otro. Es tu Cupra 4drive o tracción delantera? Otra cosa a tener en cuenta es que el S3 en su facelift también tuvo una revisión de su haldex. Sobre el understeer que comentas, yo no he notado nada raro. Es más, me parece un coche extremadamente noble de conducir, con un paso por curva muy seguro. Lo único que cambie fueron los muelles por unos más duros para que no balanceara tanto la carrocería. Lo del understeer es algo que he leído por primera vez hace dos semanas en una prueba y bueno... también depende mucho del background del que conduce y los coches que ha probado. En tu caso, viniendo de un coche “similar” lo único que harás es ganar en más nobleza y neutralidad.

@@santiagoportalupisanchez7126 Es traccion delantera y va como una bala sin understeer al momento de acelerar en una curva y saliendo de ella. Me he decidido por un S3 facelift porque vivo en Inglaterra y tenemos mucha lluvia durante el ano y al cupra le cuesta ganar traccion. Quedo mas tranquilo con tu respuesta. Gracias

Wow

Michelin pilot super sport. Brakes OEM and endless brake pads. Had to ask since is not my personal car. XD

Could be the wide angle of the camera tho.

Hi! Thanks for your comment! As you said in your second message, it’s more the gopro camera effect. I tried many configurations on where to place the seat and steering wheel and I like to go this way most of the time. I don’t know, I feel self confident, driving like a sir haha. Too many laps here and I feel is almost like a highway.

Mach dir nichts draus. Was macht der rs3?

Francisco Correia thanks a lot! I wish my car have that tyres, but unfortunately it came with Bridgestone Turanza from factory. Just waiting to “kill” them to fit something more sporty and suitable for a track day or just a sunny Sunday on the road :) I used to have PS4 S in my last car and that was superb!

lol thanks for the laugh! Oh my that was funny.

glockpoppin 🤣🤣 thanks! Looking forward to next season and see the new pavement grip

if he stayed on the gas he wouldn't have powerslide the car

Holy Cow Thanks! I did around 100 rounds in this track. Believe me you don’t have to worry about. These cars are made for this :)

I do fuck it ... get another one

the heel-toe was on point

Banner Le thank you very much for the comment! The car is completely stock in therms of specs. stock brakes, engine and tyres (Bridgestone Turanza) The only parts I changed are the springs. I have H&R :)

Santiago Portalupi Sanchez ahh okey.... Is it a big difference between the stock and H&R springs?

Banner Le it’s a bit more stiffer and sharp when you drive into curves. I really like how it works. And it’s not so uncomfortable for daily use.

Well done mate! 👏

General Brock thanks!
