for an extra 40-50kw i wouldnt be worrying about fuel economy

yeah thats true, the thing that turns me off is that they say its good for the environment and i really hate hippies so i dont want to help them at all.

have two cars, one for economy, one for go.

golf just cracked 650km on a full tank (50L). w00t.

nice, i thought about that not saying that i care about how much fuel my car uses as i think its quite good. but i dont see the point in me having 2 cars like how some people have a weekend car and stuff like that. if i did that my weekend car would rarely go anywhere because i drink every weekend so it would be a waste of money. i like driving mine almost everyday, it makes me happy.

don't worry, it's only burning ethanol that's good for the environment - producing it is quite bad

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
