went and sat in a golf R today, so far so good, nice driving position albeit higher than i prefer. wheel is small, hell comfortable and can extend really far back so that's a plus.

organising a test drive soon.

watched an episode of "inside" today.... "russia's hardest prison"

PHUCK ME!!!!!!

dogs the size of bears that just wanted blood. no kidding, dogs were 2m on their hind legs and around 100kg.

the prisoners have it reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy bad there :O

Not much short of the standard exhaust will clear an EPA test, 90db is f**king quiet, standard exhaust on the GTS-T is around 88db.

Haha sigh, such a drain! Unnecessary costs of swapping over exhausts, lame. Cheers for info.

Just borrow a stock exhaust man someone will lend u one for sure.

My gf just got her license back... Lost 3 points already.. Within a week ...

Haha yeah stock exhaust to clear it might be the way to go. Ahaha your gf quite the hoon :P

Y u no sirocco r? is cause coupe?

R has AWD goodness? :P

Although around uni, lately I've seen a scirocco, looks the goods. But also see few Rs... also so nice. xD.

scirocco R is same price (thereabouts) and FWD. while it looks baller from the front and side the ass is epic fail.

golf R is 4wd - similar system to the GTR but it is front wheel biased. so when you are putting around the city or a hwy it's fwd to save fuel but when you pin it, it can throw up to 100% to the rears.

also i wont be buying new.

Post pic of golf r wanna see what they look like.

Also hate Internet when u actually want quality info on something good fkn luck finding it... Most fpv reviews say its drinks fuel list no tomorrow but dont actually quantify how much.. Check thread on form forums average seems about 14-15/100km which I rkn is decent for what it is doubt any v8 would come in much lower? Any v8 owners around lol?

What colour Hamish?

I've seen a few around in white with black rims and I'll have to admit they do look tough.

2nd hand would be about $50k? What's the mod potential of these motors?

Let us know how the test drives goes and how it compares to your current beast

Also curious on your choice of the Golf R as your new family car compared to say an EVO/Wrx STi at around the same bracket.

I'm assuming because the Golf R is safer, more fuel efficient and less cop attention? Will the boot space be sufficient for your needs i.e. for a prams and groceries etc..?

we have a mk6 77 tsi and it's f**king amazing. for the same price (nearly) of it's japanese rivals it is MILES ahead.

the interior/saftey features, build quality and refinement are the main things that are biasing me over the wrx/evo also how ugly the new rexes are doesn't help the situation..

as for cop attention etc... well that's definately a plus

blue

it's going to feel like driving a house-brick powered by an ant compared to my skyline :/ it's more about usable power on the street if i can handle the massive downgrade

they seem to get down to just over 40k 2nd hand

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
