I've been building a retaining wall out the back, and during a break I :) comparisons between 4motion and clio sport/cup.

I let your thread go, because I had to go back to wk and the links have been dropped.

Then I noticed this morning how lonely this thread was so far...

All I can remember atm, was Nurburgring 4motion > 9'09" & clio/cup III 8'47"

I don't think the 4motion had turbo on it tho'

Sorry.

for the money you will spend on a golf, especially in oz, there are far better options out there, in my opinion. golf's are like a disease over here in england, and i have driven quite a few, and honestly not a very special car at all. 2 positives i will point out are that the diesel models have really good fuel consumption (but sound like a tradies ute) ,and the German build quality is pretty sound (although some would argue that because of the gross mass production of golfs in recent years, build quality has slipped quite a bit..)

hope this helps.

These guys are spot on.

I have a MkV GTI as my daily and I'm one of the fussiest rasters when it comes to cars, always get sick of them after a year or so, but had my GTI for almost 4 years now and love every second I'm in it. And that's amazing for me. They're brilliant to the point that when 3 years came up, I went looking for a replacement and just couldn't bear to be in anything else. I even drove a number of E46 M3's as this was something I really wanted, and the Golf was just a much better all rounder. Was really dissapointed in the M3.

Prices are coming down a bit now with Mk6 out, so not sure of your budget, but MKV is brilliant. I went looking at the new GTI and even the new R recently and cannot change it. And when I bought the GTI, I actually went to the dealer to pick up an R32 and ended up putting a deposit on the GTI, so that speaks of how good I think this thing is

Still need the Fatboy in the garage for the weekend blasts though.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
