I had a really good test drive of the passatt cc. same engine and gearbox as the R36. The performance wasnt overwhelming, but this is expected coming from a worked rex. great interior, fantastic seats, and for the money, much better value than the other euro's.

so your wife is going to ding it in the carpark, multiple times, and bingle the door by parking too close to

someone at the mall, and your kids will kick the seat backs and fill everything with food

fluids and god knows what?

if your family is anything like mine

which is why what I want (RS4 wagon, R36 wagon, etc) isn't what I will allow myself to own!!

Lifes short my friend, if you can enjoy now do it. So we wont have the mid life crisis later hahahah, so go get that RS4

Infact we Also test drove a B7 RS4 demo, very impressive. Test drove B8 RS6, but they were just too expensive for us to buy. we werent preparing to go over 100k

just to let u know... u may have a few probs with the DSG.. i work for a dealer.. we are always fixing them on all the new cars!!

On the other hand, I've owned my DSG VW for over a year now and not one problem with the box.

Best choice I've made regarding cars.

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
