The 2012 RS3 my cousin bought is white with green stripes. I don't have a picture of the car itself at the moment. Sorry.

Yeah, the hits keep on coming. First, yesterday after he calls to see if the brake parts are in, he's told they are, but there was a 1-piece option he could have gone with for $225 each instead of the $360 2-piece rotors. He specifically asked when he called if there was any other option to go with for the rotors other than the two piece ones. He was told no. He was so irritated with the condition of the brakes and having to wait a week for the parts that he said he was just going to take the two piece ones that came in because the one piece rotors had to be ordered if he wanted them and based on how getting the other parts in went, he'd probably be waiting another week to be able to drive his car. What I can't figure out is how does one of the largest Roush dealers not have something so simple as brake pads and rotors in stock at all times?

Anyways, he gets the front parts on this morning and when he goes to do the rear brakes, he finds out that one of the calipers is so rusted that the piston can't be pushed back in with the tool than screws the piston back in. So now, he's on his way to Crossroads Ford to (hopefully) pick up a new caliper. But the real b!tch of it is he'd have to buy another $100 G2 caliper paint kit to paint the new caliper to match the others. To say that's been upset with how things have gone since taking delivery of the car would be a major understatement. But hopefully he'll be able to get everything resolved today and be able to finally drive the car for the first time in about 10 days.

Damn seems like the dealer really screwed up in all aspects. They should have taken care of it from the start.

I would need to know what size pulley is on it. Since it's an RS3 I would imagine it has the 82mm pulley, but one way to know for sure is when you pick it up.......Wait until you are in 3rd gear, 3000RPMs....drop the hammer and look at the boost gauge. If it say 10psi then you have the 82mm pulley. With that said, get the 82mm pulley (If it's not already on the car), ID1000 injectors, JLT CAI and a VMP plug-n-play Boost-A-Pump. You'll also need a tune and Dan at Pro Dyno is the man. With those mods you will be in the mid 600s. After that you need to get an MGW shifter and upgrade the suspension...

Congrats! I'm both happy and sad for you.

Happy since you will be getting a sweet car.

Sad since you will have a new full time job of keeping it clean
