What model did you get?

Was looking at Golfs lastnight. Polos too nohomo.

2001 MK4 GTI. Not a fan of MK5's, I do like the MK6 and MK7 but cbf balls-out modding somethng relatively new.

Inb4 whole backseat and cargo area is turned into funky chewy space.

Hahaha that's what I've done to the old golf! The back seats are permanently down for chewie to ride around in. The MK4 is awesome... it's the last golf where the bottom of the back seat hinges up and forwards, and then the backrest folds down... giving you a flat boot from the back of the car through to the front seats... and no seat gaps for the dog to fall into!

How does financing your car = living beyond your means?

I could pay cash for mine but why would you lose all the potential investment of the funds in a depreciating asset, I do have significant tax benefits with my car granted but I can't see who or why you would buy a 50k+ car with cash

Unless fully loaded fair enough but unlikely

Not all financed cars are owned by people living beyond their means, all people living beyond their means own financed cars.

actually it would be more right saying anything apple is for hipsters

vintage olympus SLR is for hipsters, or if you're a complete and utter muppet, then you'd go for some sort of lomography camera.

Been trying to convince my friend to modify his, no avail :(

I listed out all the parts that I've got to go onto the golf to the "VAG specialist" and he just looked at me like "i am sooo not touching your car ever again!"

on the topic of owing kesh, i owe like ~20 (not paying interest, but that's another story) but don't give any f**ks really.. gives me something to work towards and a reason to rock up to work every morning :D still live at home too anyway #YOLO

I've got around 30 in CBA shares too which I plan to use for house when that time comes, still young (I think? 23? lol) nah but seriously house is on the list.. I know Pat and Nick have investment properties which is awesome props brahz

Props, but I have no money after my reno and the f**k all money I get from the rent. Plan on selling soon and buying a bigger better place elsewhere

Stupid Ford homo falcon tapped me in the rear at the lights, he was sitting behind me at the lights for awhile. Was still red light then all the sudden i felt a nudge from behind, he let off the brake pedal without realizing.... didn't bother to get out and see any damage. He just sat in his car looked afraid as I probably has my furious face on, gave me a wave saying it's okay and tried to act cool.......
What is with people nowadays!!!

/rantaboutforddrivers.

So def going now to get my fix of real cars b4 I go.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
