Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

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.

Noice.
What year is it? 
And no more Fiesta? 

My14

Fiesta is gone.

[Count Grantleyish]

Ah, you got rid of Fiesta for something with more space or just a change?

More fasts.

Will take it down the road for an Apr stage 1 flash in a few weeks.

[Count Grantleyish]

Oh nice. 

Do dump pipe, take rain guard out of airbox and go stage 2. 

[TiTAN]

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.

[Count Grantleyish]

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.

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.

why stop at the second stage?

Because money and reliability?
