@robbo_rb180 they're a pretty decent street/track pad as they give you near track pad performance but a street pad feel, ie not much heat required.

New day, new part, and wasted more money ?

Now to find time to delete the haram clutch dampener.

When I did this I didn’t notice any difference. The R4C feels the same wouldn’t even know I changed my lines

I think I did a potato job at bleeding the clutch before and might not be 100% free of air hence the spongey pedal. At least with this simplification it's going to be much easier to bleed.

Why do you want to damage that car so much lol 

Because it's still under warranty, and why buy a SUV and not use it properly right? Out of the Tiguans on the Tiguan group on Facebook I would say I treat mine with the respect it needs. Plenty of LCs, off road adventures and coolant leaks.

Word

Some people couldn't believe I thrashed my STI along dirt roads in the boondocks of Queensland and NSW.

I cannot see the point of owning a niche car and not beating on that niche.

If not, they should just buy Corolla.

End of old man rant.....

Oh I get that, some people are upset because my side steps are dented and I've added scratches to what was a fairly neat low k's Prado, but in the end it's just a car and I wanted to go exploring and learning. 

That said, you seem to be going a step further and actively trying to break it lol 

Broken from usage and broken from rape is different ;)

Somewhat a proper update?

Last Saturday my mate came over to help me remove the diff (because I was lazy and was going to drop the car off at the diff shop instead). Yesterday I dropped the diff unit at Smithfield Diff & Gearbox and today Anthony gave me a call said my diff was locking more on one wheel than the other and the clutch discs inside were fairly scuffed.

He suggested he would clean up the discs, remove the scuff marks and re-arrange the plates so the lock can be evenly distributed. At the same time the diff unit will get new seals, new bearings and backlash re-adjusted (as there was some play, due to wear and tear). Was advised that there will be a little bit of whine as the crown is a little thrashed, however I said that's fine as it's not a street car.

Will be getting it back early next week and will spanner check the car for the 14th of September at Wakefield. Have quite a few mates going:

  • 3x EVOs
  • 2x Mirages (both turbo charged)
  • 3x Nissans
  • 1x Honda with K20 Swap

pfft, should've heard one of the diffs in my R31. Was louder than a truck air breaking.

    • 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.
