From the front if u take the VW badge out it looks sorta like a alfa GTV :nowigetit

but yeah it looks sorta like a fast back too so could be a passat

didn't oz used to werk for audi service center? :)

neo I have finally sign up to vwvortex after so many yrs of lurking :):D Now I just gotta get the engine out of ur car ;)

how did u know that :Paranoid:

I use to work for austral VW/MG/Rover & we did ge the odd audi in lol :elaugh:

got to love the RV5boars fly by wire system try to throw em through a corner & start to lose grip & the car stops accelerating even when ur foot is flat to the floor :) mad little cars I would have one just would not like to pay for the soervicing when I waas there it was around $96 a hour in labour fees :D

I got charged an arm and leg when my pos golf got serviced once at austral :D (yeah i know shouldnt goto dealer service centurd :D )

neo I want to know whats the fastest 1/4m time any golf in qld or australia has ever done with any vw engines? I'v only seen rice mk4 1.8t thats slow as(couldnt spool the bigger turbo), and all these bone stock "still under factory warranty" golf r32, no real fast vr6 either.. :rolleyes:

I remember one little GTi golf we had in it was black with BIG & I MEAN BIG chromes under it 19" had a 3"inch zorst with custom exhust manifold & I think it was a bigish turbo 2 fifteens squashed into the trunk & riced up to the max lol was a sweet little car & went well too was funny trying to get it under way with light throttle :P

I think it would of been about mid 80s model the older ones with the twin round head lamps on the front

Guest neoGT-25

in Aus theres not many fast golfs, the fastest i heard of was the MTM Golf from sydney (TCCA Motorsport > http://www.tccamotorsport.com.au/ )... (its power figures wernt that amazing, but for a golf, they are pretty good)

links to articles about it here:

VW Golf GTI - The Golf (England) Apr 2001

VW Golf GTI - Hot 4s Jan 2000

VW Golf GTI - Street Heat Nov 1999

these articles are pretty old now so i dont know whats the fastest golf in aus any more!

my plans involve...

APR Chip

K04 Turbo

Schrick cam

3" Turbo-Back exhaust system

Custom FMIC

Bigger brakes

Bilstein or H&R suspension

Bosch fuel pump

GFB Stealth FX bov

17" BBS wheels

Reiger body kit

black leather retrim

some other stuff too! it wouldent be as quick as a skyline, but meh, they are like go karts when you put suspension on these things! i love my standard recaros too :P hehe

and oz, it would have been a MKII GTI (with the smaller lights on the inside of the larger ones)

theres quite a few MKI/MKII golfs getting around! rare as hell but! i saw one a while back at willowbank (MKI) with a 12A in it... i think it was a 12A :confused:

anyway, it did a 13... i wish they were rwd :) the only thing i hate about my car!

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
