It’s actually not so bad at speed since the car rev matches. I was just talking about when you’re not on the throttle when the car is just creeping forwards really slow and it downshifts you can feel it jerk more now. Same thing when it upshifts.
Butt dyno gains are substantial, rpms def rev up faster to redline, tires feel more planted under hard acceleration even when peeling lol car still scooting forward. You can feel the lightness all around, definitely freed up a few horses.
I posted a review here...
Finally got it installed yesterday and all is good, zero NVH at any speed, car pounces like a cheetah and pulls like a raped ape lol. Existing gains from my lightweight Eradispeed rotors and 23 lb SVE r357 wheels seem to have been compounded by addition of this DS.
Pros:
Increase acceleration...
i weighed it at 20.2 lbs, quite heavy for cf, then again it's beefed up to handle 1500 whp supposedly :p
oh yeah what i did today... oil change oh and put my stock tb back on, the ported one was randomly acting up throwing tb codes and going into limp mode... that was a waste of money :(
i think i may had a roll with a zl1 once well it had a shaker hood of sorts, anyways it was quick off the hit, got me by 1.5 cars from a 50 roll but then at the top of 4th into 5th i started to pass him then he let off and hit the brakes.
Sorry to bring this thread back up but since its about the RS3 i thought i'd just add this vid here.
Anyways, check this out, captured by my dash cam. i had a passenger, was on sport+ mode and on e85r but still... i had no idea they could move out that quick lol.
Can the nannies still kick in even with a Lund tune? Today I raced a vette from a light and my engine cutout top of 2nd gear felt like fuel cut. Needless to say I lost :(
yeah, I tested it again on the old familiar high speed turns near my house and I can push it 20 more mph without getting butterflies in my chest, definitely confidence-inspiring. I’m keeping it :p
i've had adam's ceramic coating applied 2 years ago with occasional ceramic detailer touch up. just about 2 weeks ago i tried adam's clay bar, graphene ceramic spray coating and graphene detail spray, worked great!
