Agree on the new age exhausts. Cannot stand the way DSG gearboxes/engines sound!

Im just saying, for my money, id be looking elsewhere. I like my hot hatches to be a little less bland and a little more boy racer.

Disingenous...waiting for modifications is hardly a state of being broken

Also wager being a VAG product that vehicle more likely broke down on the drive home

You might like the new Focus RS and the dolled up A45s

Yep! You are bang on! Love those two. One problem with each. Ford, have the worst post sales service I've ever encountered (used to have an xr5 bought new). And the AMG I don't think has a manual.

When you comparing a 33 GTR seating position to a Falcon yeah (don't forget it's just a family sedan), I came from 33 GTR as well felt the same way but got used to it after a while.

Fark it's hot, VB come at me 

Nah compared to our 5 series. They have an excellent seating position. Nice and low. Long way back. Super comfortable. Ill actually be selling it in the next month or two because my wife stopped using the wagon.

dat BMW re-sale duration + value


I buy mine at the low end... the one in my avatar was 17k. Plus some repairs. Was on the road for less than 25k at a time when people were asking 30k+.

To its credit it's an awesome family car and isnt terrible to drive. Just needs a bit more go and stop and it would be perfect.
Its also been incredibly reliable. No break downs since we fixed it up (2 and a bit years now). Not at all what i expected.

I'd take a golf R or audi RS3 over any boy racer looking shit any day. If I'm going to spend 60 large on a car I want to look like an adult not a child.


Yeah but you're all about appearancez hamich 

Some guy already wants drug money for his well kept 33R series 3 in the for sale section. I don't think he'll get 55k for it, and it really doesn't look that special, but if people are starting to ask that much for a clean example then it's a sign of things to follow on from the obscene 34R prices. Mine without an engine is insured for about 26k.

inb4 Leigh's switch to a Falcon was a financial downgrade?

So that 33. The way i read it, its done 150k kms. (Two gauge clusters worth) think thats too much.
But if this was a genuine low km (say 75k kms) car i can see someone paying it.

Eh, mine was a rusty bucket - was from the snowy parts of Japan apparently and the salt on roads screwed underneath a bit, basically didn't get it checked out properly before purchase being a youngen, mechanically was fine apart from unusual extra turbo lag which Trent couldn't explain without taking turbos out, but surface rust on the rear subframe etc made it hard to sell, only got like 20k for it 5 years ago, barely had many people come and check it out. Buyer bought it unseen flew from SA then put it up for sale again for 26k over there after a few months, not sure how he went with that.

The GS will go up in time no doubt, rare as and eventually won't be many around - who knows if I'll keep it for the long run or sell in another few years but at the moment happy with it and wouldn't want anything else for what it's worth.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
