Picked up a barely used 2015 Audi S3 Premium Plus about a month ago from another Audi enthusiast. He was looking to jump into a new BMW M3 and looking to get rid of his S3 he had for the last year. I got it on the cheap...4400 miles brand new and about $6K in mods/upgrades done to it already...

Damn you really broke the **** out of yur arm! Sorry to hear, hope it heals fast/well. Did you do that biking? My friend shattered his elbow snowboarding & it looked about like that(screws, plates, etc). And sorry to hear about the haldex problems, it's still under warranty though?

I just reread thru this and never saw what was in the box, was it the RS bumper? I'm sooo jealous of this car/you, you've done a total transformation it looks phenomenal! Do you have spacers on the wheels? Also, whatcha doing with the other wheels?! LoL

Enduro mountain bike race...yes, almost a year later and not a 100%.

Car is still under warranty, so hopefully they will replace it. Although I flashed back to "stock" and I can't get the Haldex or clutch pump to throw a code. Went back to Stage 2+ and within a day it was flashing the traction control light on the dash which means its slipping and threw a code: Haldex clutch pump faulty again. Just going to romp the shit out of it and get it to take a shit mechanically, then flash back to stock and get it repaired. They should replace the whole thing Haldex/Pump etc.

Thanks for the kudos...in the box was the RS3 front end parts to complete the front bumper. I had purchased the bumper skin but it didn't come with the accessories.

The other wheels were sold to a friend and the current wheels have no spacers 19x9 et 38

It's been a while....got the AMS CF Intake for the S3. Install was fairly easy....finessing it into place with the front scoop was the tricky part. I had the CTS intake on before, but thought it made the engine bay look cheap like a Honda!!! The CTS was getting heat soaked with the metal sides and not much of a sealed unit letting hot engine bay air in!

The AMS CF is nicely done and it matches the ECS CF engine cover nicely! Cleans up the engine bay and looks awesome.
