FasterSkunk Racing Audi RS3 at the 2024 SCCA Appalachian Hill Climb Series in Pineville, KY
2018 Audi RS3 heads up the road at our first hill climb in Pineville, Kentucky. We had a wonderful time, and our 2:47.2 was good enough for 3rd place in Sport Unlimited! Looking forward to the next hillclimb with Backroads of Appalachia!

    Try to keep your hands at 9 and 3 instead of moving them on the wheel, you will find that you will have a lot more fine control. Also, I wouldn’t turn in so late in T11 - if you apex a little earlier you can get back to full gas sooner - the car will track out to the right, but there is time to get it back to the left before T12. Also, if you are racing, this gives you a better chance of setting up an overtake into T12.

  • @ChargedTTq
    @ChargedTTq Před rokem

    In your opinion, what's the bare minimum you'd have to do to keep an RS3 totally reliable and able to turn laps at max effort? Basically, a daily driver that can still do max effort track days 2-5 times a year. At Stage 1 boost levels.

    • @fasterskunk
      @fasterskunk Před rokem

      Thanks for the comment! I'd say that the bare minimum for the engine is keeping the engine cool and happy (so intercooler, intake, turbo inlet), some charge pipe clamp upgrades (the pipes themselves are fine, but eventually the clamps let go). From a handling perspective, if you want coil-overs, the 529innovations kit is 100% steerable, and you can use the ground control camber plates that they offer to make sure your camber doesn't go too nuts in the process. Getting the bushings re-done to superpro or JXB is the next step. As for brakes and stopping, I still recommend the wildwood kit from 529 with castrol SRF fluid and Carbotech XP10 pads - the rear of the car can be settled a LOT just by disabling straight-ahead-brake-stabilization, however we're noticing that the Rev E ABS unit might have some better stopping power and less limitations if you disable Hydraulic Brake Assistant. The biggest upgrade that will make you fast and keep you comfortable is a high performance street complaint seat, such as the Recaro Sportster CS + Schroth Quick Fit Pro - this setup is also compatible with a HANS device of your choosing without having to do Simpson Hybrid S. Of course - you'll need the de-cat mid-pipes... not for performance, but that sound for the cost is... well... necessary ;) None of the above mods will impact street-ability, and I have several FasterSkunk customers who are on that exact setup above with amazing results and reliability.
