The most cost-effective performance car, let’s talk about S3 modifications and the track.

Hello everyone in the forum, I am new here, please support me. I am not only a car enthusiast but also a photography enthusiast. Because Canon launched the new R5 two days ago, I bought a 5D4 at the lowest price. Mainly because I had always wanted to own a full-frame camera, but I couldn’t afford it. I spent all the money on the car, and I really couldn’t bear to spend 30,000 yuan to buy a camera all at once, so I took advantage of the price reduction this time and bought it at the lowest price for less than 20,000 yuan. The first thing I did was to take photos of my car.

I have taken pictures with my mobile phone before, but the effect is imaginable, you see.

This was taken at a car wash shop before. The cyberpunk decoration style made me take the photo "casually".

Okay, after talking about this, it’s time to talk about cars. I bought this car in 2015. To be honest, I bought it a little early. It is a first edition. This car does not have laser headlights, but has laser headlights. The lights are really fierce. Why is it said to be the most cost-effective performance car? Because I personally feel it is the most fun car you can buy at this price. With 286 horsepower and Audi’s signature quattroa four-wheel drive, the most powerful thing about this car is The value preservation rate is really too high. A car with 40,000 kilometers in 5 years can still be sold for less than 300,000.

ums is because of the program. The organization is indeed a bit big, and the team spirit is relatively good. Generally, those who have refreshed the program want a sticker. Diehard fans like me have to wear big stickers, and small fans Stick small.

This car was kept as a stock car for more than a year at first. Later, I became familiar with the car enthusiasts and they all told me that if I don’t modify the S3, it would be a waste of money, so I started researching car modifications. At that time, I really held my mobile phone and watched videos every day to learn this knowledge. I studied exhaust, tires, air intake, and procedures. What you see now is my finished product. Here are two more for everyone to enjoy.

First of all, let’s talk about the program. After the second-level ECU program was replaced, it was indeed a lot stronger. I can really tell you about the flash program. In fact, the flash program is for large displacements. The car is more useful. In theory, all engines can be programmed, but mainly German cars and American cars are more "popular". For example, Korean cars or small-displacement cars, the program is also different in the sensitivity of the accelerator. Improved, so I recommend not trying it.

The modification of the wheel hub is actually an aesthetic thing. In my personal feeling, there is no substantial feeling. It is indeed a lot more powerful to install a BBS. Since it costs money, the logo must be large.

I personally feel that tires are the most important among all modification accessories, directly determining the "ceiling" of this car. In terms of tires, I changed to a set of Michelin PS4S, because in addition to meeting my daily driving needs, I also need to take care of my occasional running on the track. Friends in the car club and the pit station are all experts in car modification, and they also like to go to the track. , I fell in love with this feeling after trying it for the first time under their leadership. If I wear ordinary tires on the track a few times, the tire may burst. If the tire does not burst, the skin may peel off, so I changed to a new set. Ranked in this level PS4S at the top of the list. And the appearance is indeed outstanding. The classic track flag logo directly identifies my identity. I am born for the track. When I first saw it, the suede on it was quite attractive. It seemed to have a low-key and majestic texture. , it feels quite comfortable to touch, haha. The official claim is that it is 20% on the track and 80% on the street. It seems that it is very comfortable for daily driving. I do have a lot of opportunities to go off the track. As long as you understand the principles of turning and pay attention to the coordination of the accelerator and brake, you can run down it easily. You will become addicted after just one or two runs. After I fell in love with it, I started researching techniques and modifications. This PS4S really helped a lot, because PS4S has 20% track attributes, so it performs really well on the track. The most important core lies in its pattern. The "little lightning" style is already considered a very iconic logo of the Mercedes-Benz family. I don't know if you watch formula races. I personally like it very much. It can often be seen in major formula racing events. As you can see the presence of Michelin on the Internet, the pattern design of PS4S comes from Formula E (Electric Formula Racing). The optimized drainage grooves and curved shoulder profile improve the drainage capacity of the tire to a higher level. Everyone knows that it rains. Running on the track will be more dangerous than normal dry land, so it is important to keep the car with good grip in rainy days.

The weight of the S3 is lighter, and the outer wheel is easy to lift when turning at high speeds. This situation will not occur when the grip is strong now, and the functional elastomer and silicon mixed material formula and composite covering layer in the tire can make it easier to lift. The car's tracking performance will be better, which means the car will control better, especially when cornering. Apart from performance, in terms of appearance, the appearance of the car has improved a lot after the replacement. There are a lot of suede designs on it. I didn’t expect that such a hard-core product like tires would have such a gentle design. , and it feels very comfortable to touch. Now, as long as you see the suede and track flag logos on Michelin tires, you can tell that they are Racing Series tires. I have also seen tires with full suede designs on the Internet. That's really beautiful, but it's only used on concept cars right now, and I look forward to the day when we can use it too.

I often see people mentioning control on forums. In fact, control refers to steering response, power transmission and braking capabilities. It can be said that these are all inseparable from grip. According to my more than two years of track experience, tires play an indispensable role, especially this kind of performance tire, which can grip the ground firmly and have explosive power.

Let’s talk about the remaining 80% of the streets. To be honest, this photo is a bit too dreamy, so let’s start with the one below.

To be honest, in daily street driving, intense driving is not encountered. Normal overtaking does not require much technical content, but it requires sufficient power transmission and precise timing. The former has this engine and PS4S here. , don’t worry at all, the latter just needs to be a bit discerning.

But safety should also be paid attention to and maintained, just like braking. Sometimes you accidentally drive too fast and you have to brake quickly when encountering an emergency. Last time I was in the city, I just got off. At a rainy intersection, a delivery boy suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I was so frightened that I immediately braked. I was really frightened at that time. Fortunately, because the PS4S has a dual-tread design, the braking performance on wet terrain has been improved a lot. It can brake in time as soon as you step on it, and you really need to rely on it in an emergency. Regarding wear resistance, this is the third year since the PS4S was installed. There is indeed no degradation in performance, and the tread wear is not bad. I didn’t expect that Michelin has done a good job in enhancing the wear resistance. Look at the formula table. A formula of polyamide is also added to the body armor. No wonder it is enough to last for such a long time.

After you have a camera, you can take artistic photos anytime and anywhere. Most of these are taken on closed roads. You need to be careful when taking photos. Remember to pay attention to safety.
