Nice work Ben. Hopefully Hank isn't too busy with all the newer RS stuff and get you ready for BB!

ET 35 should work just fine and stay within your fenders example: 17x8 et 35

I had hoped that Audi would've done more aggressive body work to make it look like an RS model and not so similar to the S3. The only thing that is making me "want" the RS3 is the 400hp 5 cylinder...other than that....the rest of it is meh!!!

Looks like your calipers could use a paint touch up and clear coat....

Wow Ben, I can't wait to see what it'll look like with a fresh coat of paint.

And those vents are a nice touch. Good choice.

Is the cars and coffee still on the itinerary? They have moved to a different venue at Speed Vegas off I-15

New 07K engine qualifies as "different"

Who's in and who's out...and or a possibility?

Hope to see you there this year.

Any further progress or pics on getting this back together...?

FNA buddy!!!! That turned out great. Cant wait to see it all back together.

Hmm....kind of hard to tell with that grin on your face!!! Sounds good!

Good job Alex, everything you've done so far is spot on. Keep er going. Which car do you plan on bringing to BB BBQ..?

I entered my S3 into the ECS virtual car show and was picked as a top 4 finalist out of over 500 entries. Won $500 so far and have a chance to win another $500 on a public vote over the next month. Pretty cool. I'll take it. Vote if you can. Thanks in Advance.

Anybody that votes gets entered into a ...

Dood...that sucks. Cant see the damage pics are blocked.

Nice Justin....sucks about burning up a plug and possibly more....!
How was the NOFLY event as a whole?
Any pics of the event?

Well...that took a loooooooong time to get done at the body shop. 22 days to be exact. They were trying to fit me in between collisions and other stuff as to keep the cost down....but DANG!!! Glad to finally have it back in my hands. Everything came out great...a couple details here and there, but ...

Here is what the RS3 bumper and S3 fender looked like after the first dry fit. A little gap and some trim lines needed to be tweaked.

Body work ...

Thanks...its not done yet..but yes...it goes to the body shop to get some minor fender work so it matches up with the RS bumper tomorrow.

Should have it mounted and fenders done in a couple days.

Well done, the RS front is gorgeous.

Is the new exhaust only loud when you boot on it, or all the time? If it's decent while cruising, that may be the best of both worlds, no?


Yes...When I first put it on, it was loud throughout the range except when cruising....the "DSG braps" were really loud ...

The parts in the box add up to this...A real OEM RS3 front end on an S3 in North America....say what!!!!? I need a little bit of body work and it should be done by next week.

So what should it be RSS3 or S3RS...?
