Can someone tell me why there is 450 likes and 6.5k dislikes? lol
im assuming someone just got bored and wanted to test a dislike bot on a random channel
Bots man. Bots.
Bmw drivers
I just test drove a 2017 stage 2 car here in the US, and giggled the whole time. I can't imagine how quick the stage 3 is! Great video.
Stage 2 is a great place on these cars 👍
@@AlexBones I ended up buying one soon after I commented. It's been excellent in the ywar and 15k miles I've put on it. By far the most fun car I've ever owned. I'm looking forward to upgrading the cooling system, brakes and suspension for track duty. I hope all is well on your end.
Came from Harry mains video! Couldn’t resist when I heard 500bhp s3 build and what a job you’ve done can’t wait for more videos on this!
Kaydon Wilson thanks man appreciate it 🙏🔥
The quality of this video is outstanding!! 😍
Thomas Rodrigue thanks Thomas, appreciate it. I film & edit all of my own stuff 👍
Alex Bones amazing work dude
krower11 thank you 👌🔥
Been waiting for this for what seems like forever 😂 looks like an absolute weapon of a thing now!!
Matthew Maw haha, we only just built it 😂😂 cheers for your support mate, hope you enjoy. Yea it’s a mega car 👌
Thank you. A great video highlighting the benefits of Stage 1 software Alex :)
Super cool! Can't wait to see you kick it's head in on the track!
Meguiar's UK hell yeah! 🏁
These things are pretty fun when you get the performance mods going. Traction off on the backroads is a blast. Track day as well obviously.
Zain B for sure. Cheers Zain 👍
Nice build!! I love it and looks great black!!! I have a Stage 1 2016 S3 (6spd DC) from the US so we don’t get slick tops like you, we only get the sunroof. I want to say you’ll always have hate!! This is a great Road/Track car!!! Most people I know still have interior and AC for their “Track Car”. Sounds great too; so the one troll can can get bent if he doesn’t like the sound. Have fun with it. I’ll be looking for more to come!!
Mat L cheers Mat. Appreciate it sir, yea it’s a fantastic car, out on track again with it real soon 👌🔥
One thing I started to like about this car is that it looks like the Evo 10 stock or with the varis kit, its awd and the modifications, so it's basically a Modern Evo.
Very informative for my next car
Thanks for documenting this Alex.
I’ve just purchased a 2018 2.0 quattro of this beautiful A3, it’s the same color and i can’t wait to make it similar to yours, amazing video, much appreciated!
BMW M2 has left the chat!
What a stunning weapon fantastic , look forward to more
john darby cheers John 🔥
Another cracking video Alex, looks like it will be a proper track weapon 👌🏼. Looking forward to seeing some track footage
gti6ryan cheers Ryan... yea it’s shaping up nicely cheers bud 👍🙌
Came out sick man, thing flys!
Thanks 🙏
Nice build man, working on getting mine there shortly too. And sweet as reg number :D
I personally prefer the Evo but i think you’ve made the right move
Thank you, they are both fantastic cars and both actually very different to drive. Thank you 🙌
S3 way more superior then the evo.
Quattroboost 🙌
Can’t go wrong for reliability and the gearbox is second to none, great base to start on. Cool video. I’m all about the Evo thou. (Bias) 🤣 Nice one Alex 👍🏼
Jspeed racing cheers man, I hear ya though. The Evo is legendary... it’s sat collecting dust atm 😂
Alex Bones Yea know the feeling mines collecting dust too as rebuilding but all in good time. What series you thinking of running this in?
Jspeed racing not decided just yet :) will be a cool build when it’s complete after phase 2 though. Thanks for your support 🙌💪
Loving this 🤘🏻
Cheers Keith 👊
Alex we need more S3 vids ASAP lol
Michael working on it. Lots on atm :)
Great vid and car
Amazing project, great video
Alex, as you’ve mentioned you’ll be posting videos of the build. Could you include the video wherein you changed the OEM seats into buckets? Am wanting to know all the parts required including the airbag delete connector. Lastly, could you recommend a supplier of these seat hardware. All the best.
Thanks - I didn't shoot a step-by-step of the seat fitting process unfortunately. But we used OMP subframes and alloy side mounts and all hardware is from Demon Tweeks. AKS welded threaded eyelet points into the floor for the harness bolts too.
Looks the absolute dog bollocks and pulls like a train. Beautiful car
lloyd thank you 🙏 🔥
Very nice car!!!
Sounds and looks the nuts 🥜
Graham Crossman haha cheers Graham 👍🔥
Great video, car looks and sounds amazing 😍😍
Tony Cook cheers Tony, she’s ready for another track session :)
Mega man..Mega build 👏👏👏👏
Ki Felix thanks man 🔥🙏
I've seen some horror tunes where it introduces buggy experiences (034, apr, evolve) (not shifting etc). Has it been pretty stable with revo tune in the long-term?
Alex, really interesting to see this build as I’m on a similar path with the mqb chassis with my TTRS built to msuk road series regulations for sprints, hill climbs and I’ll be going in the clubman+ class for Time Attack next year. What series are you taking the car in? How did you overcome the passenger seat occupancy sensor fault after installing your seats? Car looks great and looking forward to seeing it on circuit!
Nardo RS thanks mate really appreciate it. Sounds like a fun build you’re undertaking too :) the OE Seat belts are still in place as well as the harnesses, but also AKS took care of handling any sensor faults or issues as a result of removing the seats.
How much overall did this cost because I just got one but I don’t know what I should do to mod it
just picked up a 2016 S3 a few weeks ago love how it performs stock but def want to wake the car up and want to be at right around the 400bhp area for a daily/track car got my subscribe and follow
side not link a mod sheet if possible? your exhaust note is what i need lol
Michael Carbone thank you Michael. Hope you enjoy the car 🔥🔥 exhaust is a milltek non res system with weld in cat
can you give us a build list? i have a 2015 audi a3 and want to make power similar to yours? would be a big help thanks!
Look forward to seeing the rest of the videos on this build. Love the car. Currently Im building up a black Audi A3 8V hatchback, bought it used with around 30K miles in fantastic condition. Have just purchased an IS38 turbo from a 2019 Golf R, an intercooler from a 2018 S3, full intake system, downpipe, rear swaybar and end links, dogbone mount, stainless brake lines, upgraded DBA rotors and pads front and rear. Lightweight 19s with Michelin PS4s and APR stage 2 ECU and DSG software. All this came to half the price of a new S3. Pretty happy as its only a street car.
Why did you go an S3 and not an RS3? Was it just a financial decision?
ronaldov09 sounds awesome, best of luck with your project on it. No doubt RS3 is mega, just wanted to see what we can do with an S3 for now 👍
Curious on spec sizes on wheels & tyres
Stage 3 by revo is not available for heights greater than 1600 meters above sea level?
I want more input on the "ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTEER" comment because I find that hard to believe with the FWD bias Haldex or any AWD honestly. I have a 2017 S3 and I've tracked it quite a few times thats why i'm asking.
Blake's Garage yea no understeer. Went wider on tyres too, 265/18
Why are there so many dislikes? Such a nice video!
krower11 thanks man 💪
@@AlexBones :)
How about performance now 0-100km/h etc..
adrian adrian not done any draggy yet. Will do some though at some point 👍
*Is this HP reliable?*
Awesome vid! looking forward to trying some of these mods on my S3.. I really wonder why are there are so many dislikes!!!??????
I’ll need to find out What is the wheel offsets on this, I like how the car sits
Nice Car and nice Video. Will you talk about the weight of the car?
Eli B. About 1550kg I think at a guess
But can you get your fishing kit in it?
LSD 😂 I reckon yea lol. Practical and fast :)
Alex Bones at least you won’t be late for the draw😂
why so many dislikes? this video is incredible!
I have an 2014 S3 with a Stage 2 Unitronic tune and it is brilliant but I am wondering why you didn’t choose an RS3 instead of the S3. I would upgrade to an RS3 if I could.
Pete Walmsley cheers Pete. It’s a very valid question - I did seriously consider it, but we felt that 2.0L displacement opened the car up for more competitive events than a 2.5L. Also, the reports of additional heat build up with the 2.5L was a consideration. We have 2 x RS3 saloons at work and they’re fantastic, if it was purely a road car then an RS3 would make a better car than a Stage 3 2.0L imo - the cost to achieve 500bhp on each ends up very similar 👍
👍
@@AlexBones ah I see! I wondered why not use an RS3 instead, so this answers my question (knew someone else must have wondered too). Good work, hope to see it in action one day
What downpipe
why not get a downpipe with a built-in high flow cat?
Syazzy Slackster that was an option but this way allows us to position the cat elsewhere in the exhaust system to keep any heat further away. Plus it has a ceramic coated downpipe to try and help with the heat build up too.
Did you cut the strut towers for camber adjustment? You have B16 clubsport right? very nice car by the way ;)
pilot sport thank you. No we didn’t cut the strut towers. Clubsport yes 👍👍 adjustment for the front dampers is on the bottom and for the rear it’s at the top
Alex Bones good to know! I hesitate between kw and bilstein, was at Le Mans this week end and clearly needed harder suspension. Thx 😉
Where did you buy the black honeycomb grill for you s3??
How do you get the dang thing to rotate? I've done a LOT of mods and still understeers bad. Alignment specs?
What wheels do you have on it?
Revolution CR10 18"
Someone explain the dislikes?
Smashed that video mate. How much in parts did it cost and I’m sure you didn’t have to pay labour ect due to sponsors but was wondering how much in total this build cost?
How much did going stage 3 cost as far as the parts?
Why not mrc?
🙄
@@RevoHQ that isnt a reply. tell me why revo and not MRC
@@derekporter66 We can tell you why Revo :) Its all down to our testing and Global Development Programme. Making sure our software performs on the road all over the world, no matter of the climate conditions or varying driving styles. Most of our development is done on the road and track, using Bruntingthorpe and Millbrook to refine our software, rather than worrying about dyno figures. Its more important to us that our software delivers the right balance of driveability, longevity and performance. No point having great numbers on the dyno, when it doesn't feel nice to drive on the road. This is our Ethos, and one we stick too and what our customers expect. We have our own fleet on development vehicles, and we spend up to 18months on some calibrations before we then use our network of over 450 dealers to continue testing before people release. Yes this means software costs a lot more to develop and means we are not first to market, but we would rather make sure the software is right before it ever gets installed onto a customers car. And when it is, we know it will work and feel as OEM as possible, whilst offering the best possible performance gains within the limitations of vehicles, whilst ensuring we dont push things too hard and leave headroom within all calibrations.
@@derekporter66 What car do you have? Happily go through some details with you if you wanted. Drop us a message over on Facebook or Instagram. Thanks.
@@RevoHQ thankyou, wasnt being rude, just wanted to know why. 18 m240i. what can you do? :)
What coilovers did you use?
Mega build Alex, the cars amazing, great work, look forward to seeing it in action. Keep the quality films coming, can’t wait for the next one 💪🏼. Cracked me up when I see the dislikes 😂😂. Sad to see someone goes to that extreme, probably has to buy their friends too 🤷🏼♂️😂
Those welds on the harness bar 😭
Is it on springs or coilovers?
Bilstein Clubsport fully adjustable coilovers. They’re mega 👌
@@AlexBones looks beautiful mate👌 don’t know whether to go spring or coilovers haha
100 to 200?
mirin jawbro not recorded yet. Will do it soon
Why so many dislikes tho ?
I'm new here.... Why so many dislikes??
losing some of the interior and putting some semi slicks on a car doesnt make it a trackcar, it still weighs a ton, has 4wd and not rwd.
swansmeister haha, like I said in the video, this is phase 1 - phase 2 of the build to come. It’s weight and how many driven wheels it has don’t make it any less of a track car than a lighter rwd one 👍
Any car that goes on a track is a track car. You think all the drivers that do 1000s of laps a year of the Nurburgring strip their interiors? Some yes. but a lot don't and put in good times. It's the driver
Harry Walduck 👍👍🙌🙌
Silly comment, I guess his evo ain't a track car then neither considering it awd
tom downing 😂
Might as well just get an rs3
What tyre size is on those 18's Alex?
265/35/18
Quality video as always 👍 Shame your channel seems to have been "botted" for dislikes from a sad indivual that's clearly very jealous. Keen doing what your doing #sadtwats
how are there so many dislikes lmao
😂😂😂😂
idk but why this have auto dislike i dont doanything and i see dislike
why do you have so many dislikes on every video?? :o
I love this video bro, big like for you!!
Looks like has been "botted", so someone has paid for dislikes. Unfortunately some sad people in this world. Just Jealously mate, keep up the good work 👍
@@41clemo thats crazyyy, some people are really idiots 😂 probably they are unhappy with their lifes hehe. You're the best bro! Keep posting videos 👍💪🏻 your Audi is beast!!
Sounds terrible, sorry. Cool track car though
eatmydustdusteaters cheers. I guess the sound isn’t for everyone, but the box and performance is superb 🙌
@@AlexBones no doubt, can't argue with the performance
eatmydustdusteaters 💪
That farting sound when upshifting that newer Audis make is just so laughable and bad.
Some like it, some don’t. Each to their own - you’re entitled to your own opinion of course 👍
