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

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
