Underquoting laws came into effect today

Half the prices are now missing from realestate.com.au app ?

Never seen so many listings saying "contact agent"

I'm gonna wager the RS6 has at least 300kg on the XR6 turbo and would need an extra 100hp at all times to keep up beyond the launch.
Put it this way...if my goal was a 10 second car, I know which one I'd be starting with. You'd pull it off well before you got to the purchase price of the Audi, which is a comfortable sleeper at best. And by sleeper I mean the electrical/mechanical problems that await you.
My own view of most expensive Euros is that they become largely useless once they are outside their warranty periods and outside of VIP faggotry or baller lyf P players, which is one reason they die in the ass hard for resale.


Stock the rs6 is a high 11s car, with nothing but a tune it's low to mid 11s, the packages after that give you 900-1000hp.

200kg difference between them.

I mean a current gen golf r/s3 will go high 11/low 12 with a tune, exhaust and an intercooler.

Got a source for RS6 quartermile times? That sounds optimistic to me for the V10 model. Regardless, none of that negates my point that the same results can be achieved for substantially less in a probably more reliable and cheaper to repair way.

Also struggling with 12 second flat from R/S3 with just that. I'd believe breaking into the 12s...but am feeling a turbo swap to get a high 11 out of them. They would need another 100kw at least...

Granted. It's probably cherry picked run but high 11/low 12 should be possible with basically any run if your best is 11.7

Wow if that is the stock turbo...are they laggy or just amazing tech?

F6 seems to do similar stuff with flash tune and exhaust

I imagine life gets very expensive once you go beyond that for the Golf

Mid 11s seem to be about the limit I reckon for a street driven, street tyre, street surface RWD car.. I thought about modding mine further but already can't get off the line on the street :P 

On-roll races ftw! not that I do that anyway these days, too old and responsible. 

Do like a good 3rd gear 200km/h powerskid though

gets expensive at this point.

the tunes for these just seem to be to lean them out massively so it's not really a if but when scenario.

Yeah but not like you've ever run a real decent set of tyres on it...

Flat-brim friend who went from pulsar to S15, to wanting a GTR and then wanting a Golf... Got off his P's and then bought a HSV lol.

Now post videos of him and friends doing prinny runs on weekends.

The circle of life continues. I only know one other Asian with a V8 commodore. What happened to TurboDragon anyway?

 

 

So what power does a stock Golf R make?

And what power does one with a tune, exhaust and cooler make and cost?

Damn so many golfs on the street these days they will just cream me i spose lol

 

Ive been in a launched Golf R and it was quick from a launch but died down afterwards

They are a big stock turbo compared to what they tune it to. In "stage 2" trim you are around 250kw at the wheels. So it doesn't really hit hard until 3000-3500.

Even mid 11 isn't usable on the street for a rwd car, as soon as you give it anything in 3rd or below you are doing power skids.

250awkw with a cooler zort and tune wow. How does the DSG hold up

 

Should have bought the wife a Golf R not an Evo X

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
