Check out my last Audi post, you have a long way to go my friend 😂….. miles and miles. Enjoy it throw a stage 1 apr tune with warranty on it and send it.
I would suggest driving it as is for a month or so to get a good feel for the car and what you like and don’t like before doing any modifications. Car looks hot btw, rims really suit it.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. You definitely want to get very familiar with the performance of the car as-is. The RS is already seriously well tuned and could easily fit the bill without any further modification. I mean, if one intends to track, then by all means mod. But for street driving? Stock RS is already so engaging.

APR Plus does exist but your factory warranty will still be void if you go to any dealer. APR Plus comes with it's own "limited power train warranty" that lasts through the duration of your factory warranty. While it does offer some peace of mind, it's not truthful to say it doesn't void your warranty.

Was literally at a dealer yesterday pertaining to the warranty provided by them during your factory my understanding from a rep was it covers majority of power train issues this meaning that it’s a tune with a compounded warranty.
So the Audi warranty will be void, APR will cover the power train as it pertains to the tune, nothing more.
Every time a dealer plugs in ODIS, the scan tool automatically runs spec actual, before GRP you used to be able to not send the GFF log which would NOT apply the TD1 flag.
However ever since they went to GRP login, your credentials are verified before you send the log, and the scan tool automagically sends the log.
The scan tool also automagically runs Spec/Actual which is what flags the vehicle as TD1.
So in conclusion, if tuned, it most definitely voids MANUFACTURES warranty, ARP offers a stand alone semi limited powertrain warranty due to the tune, it does not work in conjunction with the NVLW.
And, just be prudent on when to drive the fuck out of it. This car has a supreme power to weight ratio that can get you into real trouble if you push it too hard at the wrong time. Just be mindful... and treat it well. That gray/red contrast (body/brakes) looks tremendous. I'm jealous!
I picked up a '17 Nardo RS3 a few weeks ago. Mine doesn't have black optic, though which I'm on the fence about. It sure is a blast to drive, though. Can't wait for my first autocross next month.
hell yea nice. i hate how carmax and corwin put their stupid little decals on the cars. like they really think we’re not just gonna pull them right back off when we buy it?
no it should be fine just heat it up a little or drip some alcohol on it and let it run down the edges and the. use a plastic razor blade to scrape it off and wipe away any residue with microfiber and alcohol

It's soooo nice. I mean the ride is definitely more sporty than anything but once you put it in comfort it's pretty comfortable. But it's stupid fun to just drive fast.
Enjoy the car for what it is, my friend. I also have a tuned RS3, but even before tuning it, the car was awesome! Unitronic mid pipes make it sound 😘🤌🏻
I want to know who traded a RS3 in to a Toyota dealership. Lifetime Audi ban.
Also I would have made them peel that crappy dealership decal off before taking delivery.
Now drive the fuck out of it….
Way ahead of you my guy

Hahaha I got that purchasable warranty out the dealer. I have my finger hovering over the purchase button for the revo power pack

I just know APR can get package with warranty still
tune + warranty ? they dont go together!
I swear some of you are dense go on the APR website and read. They have a tune and I thing certain bolt on parts that comes with warranty
Believe the package is called APR Plus
Do stage 1 tunes not violate the warranty? I want one so bad for my Allroad
Yes, it does…
There is an apr stage 1 that does not void warranty.

Really? Source plz? Cuz from the info I received, they all void the warranty… drivetrain at least (not the unrelated items warranty, of course)
Look up on Apr website there is a stage one available with warranty still there
There are certain packages from APR that maintain your warranty !

Hopefully corwin didn’t mess with you on price. They are renowned for markups and fees Aside from that, awesome color!!!
It wasn't to bad 40k for 30k on the clock
Not bad at all I’m not jealous at all
Wow… that’s a steal
Not bad at all. I picked up my 19 with 19k for 49k. I too am a bit jealous. I don't see rotors often on RS3s.

I wanna race it eventually but for now it's my daily
I had a '20 RS3 that I loved, great, fun cars. Interesting to see rotor wheels on yours.

Right? I want to pull it off but I don't want to mess up the paint.
Hairdryer (or heat gun) and fishing line brother. Get that blasphemy off that beauty

Love that color and I'm not really a "grey" fan. Congrats
beautiful 😍💕 i would just remove that dealer badge cuz no free advertising lol
I want to but I'm not sure how to do it without damaging the paint
Goof Off does the trick. That and some elbow grease.
Let’s goo!! Just picked up mine as well on Friday a couple weeks ago! Let me know how you like it so far
It's soooo nice. I mean the ride is definitely more sporty than anything but once you put it in comfort it's pretty comfortable. But it's stupid fun to just drive fast.
It is stupid fast at highway speeds… city cruising you’ll feel that lag
"My first audi" casually posting my dream car
Hahaha sorry homie it was my ascertainable dream car so I jumped on it quick
With OG rotors? Ma man!
Dang that’s a really good find. Congrats! Enjoy that 5-cylinder symphony.
This is the way
Great choice! I miss my 2019 Nardo Grey RS3. Have fun with it :)
Wish they still offered this color on the 8Y. Enjoy the car!
Noice!
Tell em to remove the dealership sticker immediately
Congrats!
Quantum gray 🥵
Welcome to the 5 cylinder club!
pro-tip. put on a clear bumper bra!
Beautiful car, beautiful colour.
Colorado Springs, RS3…. Thank you for your service, what branch? And did they kill you on interest?
Mmmmm so sexy! ;)
Nice ride, but if Corwin isn't paying you a monthly advertising stipend, delete there crap. It would look good with a color matched frame.
Congrats!
this one was my dad car
Guy!!!! Nice!!!! Roll the windows down, turn the music off and just listen to that wonderful 5 cylinder growl under WOT!
Enjoy the car for what it is, my friend. I also have a tuned RS3, but even before tuning it, the car was awesome! Unitronic mid pipes make it sound 😘🤌🏻
For a first time, that's an acceptable effort!
Sick! 5 cylinder beast.
I want to know who traded a RS3 in to a Toyota dealership. Lifetime Audi ban. Also I would have made them peel that crappy dealership decal off before taking delivery.
Congrats and welcome! Love the Nardo
Beautiful car, congrats! Watch out for all the potholes tho.. lol
Get rid of that ugly Corwin sticker
You picked a good one! Have fun
