  1. It's all good. ABS, controls braking force only, and only activates over 16km/h. It sees a wheel that is locked and releases the pressure to that braking circuit to let the wheel roll. TCS, is like the yin to ABSs yang. It sees the drive wheels turning faster than the dead wheels, and restricts engine output to slow them down. What you're thinking about is ESC (electronic stability control)(or similar). This take into consideration all wheel speed, steering wheel angle, g sensor readings, etc. It then applies different braking forces to individual wheels to try and put the car where you're trying to go. All these driving aids are either better or worse depending on tyres. Good tyres, will help the systems. Worse tyres, will hinder. And there are limits to what they can do. Push too far, and they won't be able to help. Hope this reply hasn't bored you too much. But, the more people know about card, the easier my job is.
  2. Wow. Super cheap exhaust. I'm thinking about buying it incase I can ever afford a 34 one day. Glws.
  3. snap on are the only box manufacturers that I know of that offer life time warranty on the box construction (welds).Yes there are cheaper, but snap on usually have the best turn around for warranty I've found.
  4. so far holding up.But have seen photos of breakages. Iirc, there is a company doing an aftermarket replacement now.
  5. same*touches wood* But, my gtr did have about triple the power of a standard car. Reckon I'd break my emo with triple the power on a track.
  6. it's an attack from godzilla.There is no survival.
  7. Layme. But, who cares? It's obviously what you wanted. So enjoy
  8. Fly there, drive back. Have done with a car I bought in radelaide and I live in sydney.
  9. Measured one of the rotors. 27.1mm. Min thicknesses unknown. Could he used, but will recommend replacement.
  10. will probably have to bring your own girl friend.
  11. yes.Is actually in the handbook. And the services are every 15k. So, 7.5L of oil. Most only take around the 5L mark.
  12. Where's my bunnings gift cards? I don't own a vw, but I breathe their fumes every day. I need financial compensation dammit! On a srs note, how many cars have they checked on a licensed test bed vs street use? As with all cars imported into Australia, all emissions are presumed to be that of the original test car. Maybe the original car did pass. The subsiquent cars didn't. Also, was the test vehicle new? Run in? Correct oil? Correct fuel? All can be argued makes a difference. And vw allow 500ml of oil use every 1000kms (stated in the owners handbook). This could also add to emissions.
  13. How did everything go? Did get home from work until 4.30. Had a shower and just woke from a nap.
  14. will measure to ight and throw more pics up. Have been machined after I took them off last. Time to bust out the micrometers
  15. Father is coming down for the first time in 7 years. Going to have to miss this.
  16. Still love the p1 styling. Would take in a heartbeat over the other 2.
  17. 32. Larger fuel tank.
  18. Won't be able to confirm by tonight, so I'm a no go. May have to wait for the next gb. Post pics when you've installed people
