I might actually buy one for a train station hack.

It's more logical as it would unlock circa $8k equity from the golf and it would most likely be more comfortable, faster, have the same features, (i.e. none) be manual and I would honestly feel more confident that it won't die one day.

I haven't driven the golf anywhere but the train station even once for over 12 months now so a $10k car is just a waste and the gheyness is lineball

 

If only I could motivate myself enough to sell the POS. :/



I'm currently riding around in my 03 Honda Accord Euro Luxury... got it for half your Golf. Definitely something to consider ;)

2.4k back this tax year not too bad..  had to depreciate fair few things 

ppl in wasteland still go to deca? 

I can't do mine yet as Medibank f**ked up and I won't get my statement until 31/07/2016 at the earliest.

This is especially infuriating as:

1) They have sent Merowyn's and it's a joint f**king account.

2) They have now sent me 2 letters telling me they can't send me a letter

How the f**k do I fit a fire extinguisher in the beamjet without damaging shit?

Self Tappers. In the dash, across the airbag flap.

Cash has probably gone to some junkies on Centrelink 

Pretty much, old people and funding the deadshits who steal our cars

Your engine going to be done by 2020?

If I'm lucky. Lawrence, Ads and Shadz were helping me give him shit on Saturday. If the car isn't done before the end of the year he's gotta buy me lunch for a month

I don't reckon any of that paint protection is worth it. Just get a detailer to do a good correction polish on it and wax it regularly.

You'll move that thing on before the paint is fked anyway.

I was of the same opinion, albeit without ever having researched the subject at all... I just assumed they'd just wash off etc but from everyone I've spoken to that has or has had it, they rate it..

Did you sus out any of his detailing photos? I looked at the blue mustang and black maloo photos and couldn't work out if he's not that good or just an average photographer..

Final Inspection - they will tell you what to bother with

They'll sell you their own. They applied paint protection to our 86 and I did not think it was worth it. From memory we got them to fix it up cause a few days after some tar crap landed on the bonnet and the paint protection shit went all weird.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
