Is the Golf R going to be sold in Australia? It might sneak in under $50K new, and as long as you sell it before the warranty runs out you should be fine. 296hp, 4WD, 0-100 in 5.1, 4-door hatch.

lol...so true.

Personally I wouldn't touch a VW with a 100ft pole.

Tez, back off, the N1 is mine. Bobby, get some Audi love on man, they are great cars and the S4's are big value for money, stick a set of pipes on and pull chicks.

Hate to say that I reckon the ST was quicker in the twisties than my modded R32 GTR. It has more useable power down low due to being lighter. It surprised the hell outta me, being a RWD 6 cyl traditi

1. IS350 (pity they are auto only)

2. 335i (I think also all auto)

None of the 2-door hatches do it for me. A 4-door Gti or Focus ST would be a practical quick FWD.

335i came in manual, although it is much harder to find.

The ZF6 speed is a pretty good box anyway & the auto 335i is faster at traffic light GP... :yes:

They respond pretty well to mods too, upgraded downpipes (rest of the stock exhaust is suprisingly very good for flow) + tune (Cobb or JB4) will see some nice boost in kw & Nm.

If you happen to come across a sedan (E90) you will get zero attention from Cops/bogans/ricers/P-platers as it looks like a base spec 320i with the exception of twin exhaust tips.

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
