1 of 5 Audi Exclusive Viper Green S3's Blair Automotive build

**Blairautomotive** · 03-08-2016 08:08 AM

I got the bead on one of the Audi exclusive S3's n Denver and jumped on the opportunity!

I have some awful cell phone pics but as we dump a whole shelf full of APR and AWE products on to the vehicle in the following weeks I will take some better pictures!

Stage 3 APR kits are on the way along with lots of other goodies!

Full front clear vinyl from Elite Auto Salon in CO springs to keep her safe for the drive back to Texas!

Back home safe in the shop next to the wife's Golf R!

I am in love with this car and super excited about this build!

Nice score! Had to one up the wife huh?

**Blairautomotive** · 03-08-2016 08:43 AM

Haha. I could not let her have all the fun!

**Blairautomotive** · 03-08-2016 02:24 PM

Had a few minutes today to throw on the APR stage 1 and 2 intake in prep for the stage 3 kit!

Much more to come!

When I see this car all I can think is lic plate reading.....DAHULK
Very nice!

I will need good ideas for a custom plate and clever name for the build. It is tough in Texas with so many cars on the road but I like the idea of the hulk. I am huge nerd and this is by far my favorite idea yet!

**TDI Brad** · 03-10-2016 04:33 AM

The Audi exclusives are always amazing, as is this one

. DasHulk! Works better IMO. There is a Java green SQ5 that the owner refers to as TH3 HULK I think I'd be cool to see your S3 and his SQ5 at a show together.
Any thoughts of color matching the front four rings?

How about NUCLEAR once you drop the Stage 3 on it.

**TDI Brad** · 03-10-2016 09:27 AM

I thought of a few more green comic book related names:
Kryptonite
Riddler
Green Goblin
Green Lantern
Green Arrow

Slimmer

The dealer I bought it from said its name among the sales floor was the green goblin. haha

**A20V200** · 03-10-2016 09:35 AM

Well..if you are going stage III = THE HULK

**jran76** · 03-10-2016 03:52 PM

Nice. Do you have it at the shop? I'd like to come check it out next week....

Unfortunately, in Texas we're typically limited to 6 characters on a vanity plate.

**Blairautomotive** · 03-10-2016 04:37 PM

Hah. That looks great! Yea we have the S3 at the shop. Everything for the build has been ordered and is on the way in so it sits in its mostly stock glory for the moment!

nice.

but I never get the idea of putting the car's model in the plate as well. it doesn't make sense to me as if you look next to the plate you will see the logo, audi in your case, and the model S3 next to the plate as well. all the information is right there in plain view.

what I think would make sense is just "Hulk" or "MrHulk" or "MeHulk".

this one is pretty useless.

Cool. I'm going to swing by next week to check it out. I'll call to make sure it's there....

Our APR stage 3 build is now officially dubbed as project HLKSMSH!

Lots of parts starting to roll in for this project! Huge shout outs to emmanuele designs, Black Forest Industries and Excelerate Performance for hooking us up with some awesome stuff for this build!

**Blackstallion** · 03-17-2016 03:14 PM

Sweet combo man! Love the seat stitching -- looking forward to this build...

Not quite the same thing. His is an audi exclusive with green stitching and inserts in the interior and badges. Pfaff's viper green is just a S3 ordered with an exclusive paint. I got my Glut Orange from Pfaff. Same deal. Not limited number built but still very cool. I'm really surprised they haven't sold that car yet.

**sub-zero** · 03-17-2016 07:31 PM

oooo and HRE's :D subbing this

They haven't sold it because they want $61k for a non-Exclusive car, when the Exclusive car retails for $60K....Wait that price is Canadian...lol

**hbracer93** · 03-18-2016 02:55 AM

Keeping tuned to this build, My wife picked up my 1 of 5 exclusive Viper Green today....To bad I need to wait another 3 months before I can drive it.

Oh yes

Got the new shoes in for the project courtesy of TAG motorsports! Hooked us up with some HRE FF15's that I had powder coated in gloss black and wrapped in 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports!
I also lowered the car on some Emmanuele Design lowering springs! Ended the day with the much needed first car wash courtesy of Adam's Polishes!

Much more to come!

**4RingRook** · 03-28-2016 05:24 PM

Awesome

**Blairautomotive** · 03-28-2016 06:40 PM

Now that the Hulk is all clean here are a few more shots of the wheels and suspension. I am hoping for a little bit more settling in the front and I think they will be perfect. Car drives great!

I just can not get enough of this car!!

AWE Switchpath exhaust and Stoptech ST60 big Brake kit are set to arrive any day now and will be the next mods!

Still waiting on my APR stage 3 kit to arrive! Along with Black Forest Industries mounts and a custom viper green DSG shift knob (whaaaaaaaaaat)

Still debating on doing the clutch pack upgrades and internals on initial install or just enjoying the stage 3 and build a new block as a backup and throw packs in if I ever need it...hrmmm

Plates just showed up too! Can not wait till it all comes together!

**DarkSideGTI** · 03-28-2016 07:37 PM

spare blocks are pretty cheap no? I would just build one while enjoying Stage 3 and then throw it in with stage 3+.

**Blairautomotive** · 04-05-2016 08:11 PM

The springs have settled enough to do an alignment! I decided to go with ECS 10 MM spacers all the way around as well! I think the car sits much better now.

Hopefully exhaust, brakes or the stage 3 kit show up soon so I can have more updates!

**hbracer93** · 04-06-2016 04:43 AM

Pics of shifter or GTFO!

**DarkSideGTI** · 04-06-2016 09:42 AM

That looks great.

**pwest15** · 04-06-2016 05:13 PM

Excellent! Coming along quite nicely

Also shifter pics pls

The real fun is starting tonight as we begin our Stage 3+ APR turbo install among other goodies! Since I am busy full time in the shop my plan is to work on it in between job and at night and have this beast done by Monday evening!

This little guy sits on my toolbox and motivates me throughout the day!

The bay is ready!

Stay tuned for a ton of updates and pray to the Fed Ex gods that the rest of the supporting pieces get here soon so I can do this in one go!
