Are Golf Rs fun to drive? Do they shine as an all rounder or work better around corners / straight line? Challenging or suffer from point and shoot evo syndrome?


Way more friendly as a daily. It has some squish to the suspension and seats unlike the evo and the interior doesn't suffer from high spec lancer/imprezza issues the same way the evo/sti do/did.

Suspension firms up if you put it in race mode (DCC), suffers from the same issues as all haldex systems, understeer on power as it's front biased.
Isn't the nbn supposed to be lightning fast internet? My brother speed tested yesterday and got the same speeds I get with adsl living literally 30 seconds away from each other..

Just got my free nbn kit in the mail from Telstra, but if there's no increase in speed I won't waste my time hooking it up until I have to..


Multiple options of speed available. He might be on a slow one.

Don't have to get APR stuff, more people rate GIAC than APR these days from what I've been looking at Golf forums. 

There's a mob in Melbourne that everyone raves about - its called Underground Performance, they have a workshop with a dyno.

Not sold on stage 2 $$ vs gains. $2200 installed for the Apr dump and tune update (on top of stage 1 cost), this gets you 15-20hp over stage 1 which costs $1500 and gets you 80hp.

why stop at the second stage?

Am I the only one who laughs at these healthcare worker anti-violence ads? Proper issue these workers face, but the ads just seem funny to me; maybe shit acting

considering my wife has been punched in the face buy a f**ked up patient in Emergency  

that would be a yes.

I've heard all the stories, just think the ads are terrible. I also highly doubt the kind who act out violently towards those helping them are the type of rational minded people who will pay attention...not unlike domestic violence campaigning.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
