Looks like you guys had a great day out!

Gutted I missed it. Got to my car this morning and the drivers window was forced down with the ignition barrel stripped. The assholes caused a few other headaches with my car so I didn't manage to fix everything up till early afternoon :verymad:

Yep great day, thanks to the those who put their hand up and organised it.

After Arthur's Seat (and an interesting encounter with a G Class Merch) I headed back through Red Hill and stopped in at the brewery for a cool beverage and then moved to the cider house via an interesting dirt road. Perfect Saturday :yes:

Please do tell!

Dude stopped dead in the middle of the road about 10 car lengths up the road (probably 1/2 way up the seat) and signalled he wanted me to pass him, right at the entry to a left hand corner as well. So I couldn't see anything.

Once I got up to the car being double lines I just shook my head, he then stuck he's head out the window, said FU a couple of times, then sped off....

He was pretty red in the face, I'm going to say he had a long lunch in Rye before hand and maybe a bottle of red to wash it down with.

They also don't release what double lines mean, I think in a G wagon the double lines are optional. As the next tight right hander it was well over into the land sprinting into the distance.

    • New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
    • Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.
    • Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.
    • Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?
    • Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
