Put one of those seat cover things for dogs, clips onto the front and back headrests

**drewedm** · 07-25-2020 04:23 PM

Finally washed today after being dirty for so long

**Allen254** · 07-25-2020 04:56 PM

Finally pulled the trigger on the cobb DSG tune. Installed it today and really nice so far but i think i need new engine, trans, and pendulum mounts.

Not exactly 8V but still MQB. Took care of the carbon cleaning on my wife’s mk7. 103k miles and I had never done it. Wasn’t as bad as I thought. Most of the buildup was on the ports and the dividers.

I’m knocking on 100k so this is in my future too.

Took my S3 in for the “Audi pre-sense restricted” error. Required a $563 recalibration. FML. Also got the MMI updated so I have subwoofer Control now.

Friend was selling his B7 so I swapped rear headrests. So much better.

Thanks! Subtle change but it helped a lot with the rear visibility as well!

I’ll have to add that to my mod list because visibility out of the back window is pretty scarce.

Wheels are Vorsteiner VFN-512 in Satin Graphite, 19x9.0 et40. Running Michelin PS4S in the stock size 235/35 until I wear them out. The next set will be 245's.

It’s not there for you normally? Press the list button on the left of your steering wheel and go to digital speedometer.

I don’t use this because my wife can’t see the needle on the speedo from the passenger seat when it gets beyond the point that could start an argument. 🤣

Mine is also a 2015. Never did any coding. My A3 had it too. Press the list button on the steering wheel, then use the left and right arrows to find the section and scroll down to digital speedometer

Looks nice! Graphite wheels look good on these cars.
Looks like you're lowered. What suspension mods do you have?

^ That's something I've never seen before! I'm not sure how I feel about the grill without the rings though. It feels a bit too naked but at the same time the rings on the hood looks cool like on the A3 Clubsport concept, TT series, and R8.

Actually saw the red bits done on a Spanish S3 on Instagram and thought it was a wee bit different

That’s a great look.

I’m thinking about trying the black chrome look for my rings, but I just haven’t built up the nerve to try it.

Did the ROW taillight swap and requisite coding. Ran the wire in the same path as factory and used tesa tape.

Installed full Revo mount kit. Will do a review on it later. there seems to be no reviews on this engine,trans, and dog bone mount kit from Revo.

Over the summer I had a Bilstein B16 Ride Control setup installed with 034 strut mounts and rear shock mounts, and iSweep cancellers. I ran the 034 Dynamic springs on mag ride for a couple of years, and like the Bilstein setup much better.

interested on this as I am on the market for engine/trans/dogbone mounts. Leaning towards the 034 street sport but we'll see...

**Rare Ara S3** · 08-03-2020 06:38 PM

Got bored and Added rear footwell lighting to compliment the front. Had the parts laying around for awhile.

Just got them installed and I kinda regret it the car is shaking especially when the AC is on at idle. I believe the o34 ones also increase vibration. I’m already thinking about switching back to oem cause I’m sure I’ll be able to handle the increased NVH. Aside from that the shift are awesome I just wish there was no vibration at idle like it’s shaking my seats and dashboard.

Wow! Sorry to hear that. I see that Revo uses urethane instead of rubber. Urethane is great for stiffening things but not so much on insulating vibrations, in fact it augments them in some cases. I think I will go with the 034 street sport version. Thanks for the update.
