The hate here is real. For all that can’t seem to understand or be bothered to check the other posts from OP, this is a VR6 swapped RS3. if I remember correctly from what I had seen somewhere else it makes 1000hp+?
I would argue water pumps are less expensive and easier to replace/diagnose. If you take the tube that connects to the coolant reservoir off, and then run the engine to see that you have no coolant flow out of the hose, then boom, it’s probably a bad water pump fan.
Please don't send him to us, we won't claim him. We don't even claim 21 year old Lukic who just wrapped his new-to-him 316d around a light pole trying to drift the roundabout.
I just like cars, I'm partial to Audi and Volvo for the understated quality (I like building sleepers) but I've been a BMW fan for a while (currently rebuilding an e36 M3).
Some of the serious and grumpy responses to my comment is exactly what makes it so funny to chirp BMW drivers.
Dude I’ve been thinking this for a while, the way people here are SUCH assholes about literally any mod is crazy. It’s like they have never whiffed a molecule of actual car culture in their lives. I cannot fathom thinking you like a brand of luxury/sports cars while getting legitimately upset at the thought of a vehicle that isn’t stock. Audi/VW cars are excellent platforms for modifications.
its honestly embarrassing seeing 50 year olds with early 2000s A model audis trying to talk shit about this guy and others, almost seems like theres a hint of jealousy in there ngl.
Headlight is a carbon fiber intake inlet, going to the turbo, the hood is cut with exhaust going straight from the turbocharger, directly up, out of the pipes from the hood, typically called a hood exit / hood dump, this is also swapped with a VR6, not the original I5 the RS3 came with, it is far far far beyond “normal” mods
Fuckin sick. If it was me, I'd cut an intake into the hood just cause I like both my headlights but I also don't have an RS3. Maybe once I knock out one of the car payments....
What is a VRS3? Why are the headlights different and what the hell is on the hood of the car?! This is like a where’s Waldo of things wrong with this picture.
Headlight being an intake duct is a crazy mod wtf. I guess it does take away the turbulence from the original intake but damn I would’ve never thought of that being a possibility
Heavily modified RS3. The headlight is replaced with a ram air intake port. This vehicle should only be driven on tracks at this point… but it’s undoubtedly still being driven by a hoonigan fanboy who doesn’t care about others’ safety when street racing. There was a street racing video of a similar RS3 on this subreddit earlier today.
It's an RS3. Look up Malaka motorsports (the OP) on youtube. I believe the 2.5L blew when they were pushing it and ended up fabbing in a VR6 in its place.
no, it didn’t blow. he sent it to iroz and had the motor fully built for 1k+ hp but in the process of that build malaka and iroz had a huge falling out behind the scenes. so malaka’s next move was to pull the daza that hank built, sell it, and go vr6 like his other cars. still waiting for the nda on that falling out to expire. i want details!
yeah, honestly it’s kinda sad if you were watching his channel back in early 2018 where he and hank did videos and seemed to get along great and were both really excited about the early progress on the daza. i bought an rs3 partially bc of that. o well, people change. definitely respect the vr6 work but so much time and money in that car and considering it’s in california i don’t know what he even does with it. miles from street legal but i guess he has a method
V stands for Vroom?
