I haven't made it understeer yet
How's your LesboSandal4PotEditionNumberWang?

Doesn't have enough torque to understeer tbqfh

Cylinder poverty.

All aboard the flight to the Feelapines.

Love the sound of these but never felt quick enough for me. It looks great though!

This one fall into the monster car tax bracket?

Welcome to VW'ership.

Albeit in an old, dirty heap.

505 a year or 45 a month. DVLA maths.

Direct debit makes everything acceptable.

Excellent colour combo!!
Now you need an RNS510, coilovers, Whiteline ALK, rear ARB, Haldex controller & some coilovers.

Also, whilst the option Recaros look nice, i found the standard ones to be far more comfortable!!
Re: the front end noise, i had similar and it was the cv joint on the nearside, it had failed whilst i was fitting the coilovers, i was lazy so fitted a whole new driveshaft, but im sure a decent Indie will be able to diagnose easy enough. Also, if you dont have it already, get VCDS so you can code things like cruise (if it doesnt have it), rain total closure, boot pop mod etc etc.

 

[Cookie]

I really should have a look and see if it has cruise, wasn't paying any bloody attention as usual.

It had the NSF CV boot replaced in January apparently, but the noise definitely sounds like it's coming from the NSF so will have a look soon.

I take it changing the CV joint is DIYable (not by me, I'll pay @Scrooge in whisky to work on the car as per the usual arrangement )

Didnt take a pic infront of the car with your thumbs up then?

Check out R32OC club. This car is probably originally from there

I did, they just haven't put it up yet (or maybe they won't because my face is horrendous)
R32OC forum makes me feel ill, such a horrible layout
@Sir_Dave - How easy is retrofitting cruise?

 

[Sir_Dave]

r32oc is like a graveyard compared to CS as well tbh.
Cruise retrofit is easy, £35 stalk, 20 minutes of trim removal & 5 minutes of coding with VCDS.
I get the impression your skillz are somewhat non-mechanical however, so perhaps get @Scrooge to do that as well

 

[Rob]

I really really like it, can I have a go?

I'd fit the BBS CH, they look amazing.

My skills are on the software side of things, so dicking about with VCDS is more up my alley than actually fixing mechanical things. I tend to either be too cautious with stuff (not hitting it hard enough) and being too gung ho (nearly flooding my house after pelting copper pipes with a mallet). I doubt I will find a middle ground.

 

[_Tom]

Nice. Need's BBS CK's..

 

[Cookie]

I cleaned it in the rain. Actually enjoyed it for a change.

 

[cat171]

I like it how it is now, BBS CH's look great but they seem the be the wheel of choice (like Clio folk & their Turini's) eg, every f*ckers got 'em! 😂

I hope you used a sponge along with that black bucket. [emoji23]

I used a mitt that wasn't ruined, which makes a change. I <3 my black buckets

 

[_Tom]

Can I ask what's wrong with a black bucket?

No grit guard.

 

[Sir_Dave]

No grit guard.

See ive never understood this business. Surely when you wipe dirt/grit off the car, it wipes the dirt/grit across the car? Unless you dab the car with the wash mit?

 

[Stay Puft]

Usually the dirt goes into the deep layers of the mitt, which is why a mitt is better than a flat sponge.

 

[Mr R.]

See ive never understood this business. Surely when you wipe dirt/grit off the car, it wipes the dirt/grit across the car? Unless you dab the car with the wash mit?

Not if you use 2BM, pre wash and snow foam.

Get rid of most of the dirt before you even touch it with the mit.

 

[ForceIndia]

It's a ten year old silver car. Preprewash and elephant spunk waxes can do one.

Crew of Eastern Europeans, and ten minutes later you're done.

 

[MarkCup]

No grit guard.

Given my mitt floats, what does a grit guard do exactly?

 

[Cookie]

Not if you use 2BM, pre wash and snow foam.

I use 2 buckets (and a pre-wash, but have no snow foam currently), the paint is 10 years and 61,000 miles old. I don't think I'm doing too much damage.

 

[Gally]

2bm is not just to look like a dick....

Silver and vag. Be reet.

So, fings I like about the car so far:
- When you open it at night the sidelights and rear lights come on, and there's tiny pointless spot lights at the mirrors
- You can do 20mph in 6th and the gearbox doesn't whinge
- The way it flings itself out of roundabouts
- Noise
- It's easier to clean than the M3, and the wheels are less irritating
- The paint is quite sparkly after a clean

Fings I don't like (well, it's one thing - nothing to do with the broken things)
- It attracts bell-ends like no car I've ever driven. I do the speed limit pretty much everywhere, which was fine in the M3 but seemingly is like shitting on someone's mothers face in the Golf. Tailgated for miles today for no reason and someone went through a red light trying to 'race' me. Mentalists.

 

[Ant1]

I really like these, cracking value for the money now.

 

[Al_G]

Looks good! More pics (including interior shots) please.

 

[clio007]

Looks like your pic is up. Could have smiled abit chap. Seems like somebody forced you into buying it

Hah. I don't smile in pictures, I did a forced smile to wind the wife up (because I don't smile in pictures)

 

[Bluebeard]

Pic?

 

[Cookie]

I should probably fix my hoody

 

[Poopensharten]

Ideally there should be wolves on that hoody going by the tinted glasses.

 

[Addicted]

Pretty tame clothing for you, wtf. I notice the shoes are hidden out the way though, bright orange/yellow?
