For your own satisfaction it’s nice to make your younger self happy. If you’ve always wanted to have a speed3 regardless of what anyone says it would be nice to do so. It will make you super happy man! Make that teenage Diego smile

I would love to and if I find a good speed3 deal I’ll hop on it and just have fun with it

I have my A3 at 550 Whp as well brother. Daza has always been my dream but I can’t see my self dropping 45k-50k for an rs3 with the same interior ( just different sound and handling) to run the same times FBO e85. And to modify and turbo swap a Daza is much more expensive then MQB. I say built engine typhoon would make you extremely happy.

@DArias Жыл бұрын

You’re absolutely right but at the same time I would be hopping into a hybrid setup relatively quickly after getting it. My thing is that typically built engines on this platform one way or another are a bit temperamental and I don’t want the stress of taking the car to that level and it become fast but not enjoyable due to all the quirks it will most likely have

When you mention "Parting out" are you talking just selling the aftermarket stuff? or actually, parting the whole car out? Love the car and great content and a lot of food for thought in this video. I've learned a lot about my car as a new S3 owner with the same car/build. I hope you go to the RS3 - which is my goal as my next fast car. Cheers!

@DArias Жыл бұрын

By parting out I mean sell all my aftermarket parts and putting it back to stock and selling it or trading in for something else! And thank you for being here for the journey. This is an awesome car and trust me I wouldn’t even consider getting rid of this unless it was to upgrade to something imo that is better!

@volkssturm9694 Жыл бұрын

The S3 is YOUR BABY Bro, do NOT get rid of it, you will regret it if you do. It's truly an amazing car for what it is, but I understand your thought process for sure. At some point I was thinking of going the RS3 even RS5 route myself, but I want I fast , fun daily driver that isn't too expensive and the S3 is the very definition of that. Thanks for all the fantastic content.

@@DArias they are becoming really affordable in the UK. People here go from stage 3 hot hatch to a golf r or S3 and end up coming back to 300-400hp fwd hot hatch.

A bmw n54 single turbo will make good content . With the audi drag racing some badass cars either in the 1/4 mile or 1/8 . Maybe also changing the tune mess around with Open source (map switching , flex fuel , and RAL) . When you do sell the audi seeing a bmw m340i will be badass .

@Alanst1xx Жыл бұрын

Personally i couldn't get the same car which is the rs3 after driving an s3 i would probably go go for s6 or s8 for some big power and they're bigger more comfortable

@DArias Жыл бұрын

I like the chassis and it’s a completely different car drivetrain wise so for me at least would be worth it but at the same time I prefer the ttrs but very expensive

@Ryndel Жыл бұрын

Isnt an rs3/b58 fbo exactly as fast as your car right now though. Sound aside (rs3), seems like the s3 is the way to go unless youre going all out on the daza. Unless im wrong?

@DArias Жыл бұрын

Yes and no. rs3 would get some sort of hybrid turbo as well as any b58 I get. Both also make a good amount more torque than the s3 on a stock engine so it would still feel and be a bit quicker. Anything I get would end up faster than my s3 is right now

@Jmoneyy365 Жыл бұрын

You could always refinance just keep your eyes open on really good deals

For content and channel growth you know, it's BMW. I personally don't care about BMW but people go crazy for it. Personally I would step up to TTRS and later to R8 V10. But this would not get your channel big. For views and channel growth: BMW and old hondas.

@billybob-ue6wf Жыл бұрын

I feel like a new car would help create content but I would only get a new one if you plan on making it faster than the S3. Also if you’re looking for ideas try and get some runs in with some other cars. I’m sure those videos would do well considering the mods you have.

@DArias Жыл бұрын

I agree and I hate to be the boring guy but there’s a few reasons why I do not typically do highway runs with people. I live in a very crowded area where there’s not many open highways at any time of the day and then so many cops too and I feel it’s not worth it for me to possibly lose my license over something silly imo

Either way your going to need deep pockets lol..in todays world you'll always be slow unless u have 100k in mods ,,TTRS is a bit different?

@DArias Жыл бұрын

I mean absolutely you’re 100% right on that. If I were to go with a daza or b58 I would just slap a hybrid on a stock engine and still have a faster car. I’ve seen many rs3s around 640-650whp and 510-520 torque on a stock engine. That would probably be my goal tbh. Again I’m not sure tbh. I’m also on the fence on rocking with the s3 and buying the few cars I mentioned to have fun. You will always be slow to someone you know? I’m slow to guys making 700-800 and those guys are slow to the 1000+ crowd haha it’s a never ending cycle

@1lime1000 Жыл бұрын

@Diego Arias 100% agree. I'd recommend TTRS ,, ligher than rs3. AWD. new supra is the only b58 I'd go or the new BMW m240i heavy tho. I had a m140 , engine & box is very good. Personally I find as everyone is doing straight line digs+ 1/4 boring. Now I've gone back to a mk3 tts bit lighter than most awd platforms, , will set it up for 500 hp Max, focus on handle and braking ,, and beat 700hp on a track and hill climbs - twisty roads lol.. driving in a straight line is not driving imo..either way good luck..keep the content going ,,cheers mate
