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

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

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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
