can get a remap for 200kw + more torques + faster dsg, while under warranty thats probably all ill do.

ive really wanted a new(ish) car for a long time. ended up with an actual new car. it has everything, except electric seats which is really weird

WTF dude?

So now that you sell your Stagea, you don't understand torque measurements?

Can't have more torques. Your engine has torque and the measurement of this torque is in nm, lbs/ft etc. geek.gif

Sound as silly a Clarkson when he talks about "torques".

On an unrelated note, I wonder if Craig will crack 300 powers when his car is finished...

So, just bought the replacement for the stagea. Dont laugh!

Got it brand new, collect Friday.

147KW petrol with DSG. Mines a sedan, not a wagon shown in this pic. Same colour!

Does Dsg chip second?

I replaced my Stagea with a 130i. Black. Msport. 195kw.

Needs an LSD.

Euro ftw!

i dont know, i pick it up in 2 hours. give me a few weeks to bed the motor in and ill let you know!

im gonna say no, its very smooth with its gear changes, you barely even notice it at low speed!

Use a good quality masking tape and take your time putting it up :)

Cheap masking tape can either leave sticky residue or come apart when removing leading to unnecessary anger.

Nice avatar change by the way. Do love (and will miss) those Nismo tips thumbsup.gif

Also, if you're masking against a colour; paint the edge of the tape with the colour that is underneath the masking tape. This seals the edge of the tape stopping the new colur bleeding under the tape and gives you a razor sharp edge.

I f**king hate painting.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
