Lol pat. Dunno how your parents put up with the cruze's gearbox. It's fuxking annoying. Doesn't know what gear it's meant to be in

the cruze is an absolute pox. Parents regret buying it and wont recommend it to anyone. Its gutless and it chews through a shit load of petrol. Its only got looks, but they skimped bad on the engine.

The diesel would have been a better choice but wasnt available at time of purchase. Parents want to exchange for a diesel or sell up and get a VW jetta

Yea it's got no torque. Needs to downshift twice to go up a hill. We got a rental one. New cdx 1.8 petrol with 1770km. Looks good in and out but engine is crap

i'll bet it's much worse now ;)

Hahahaha. Man it's even hard to thrash! You have no clue how slow it is. You can redline it and it will take 12 years and hit 40km/h.

Traction control off. Tiptronic mode (so it doesn't change gears when it wants) and foot to the floor. And it still wouldn't be considered as thrashing.

if you hold the traction control button for a couple of seconds you will also turn off stability control. No idea why you would give that option to your average mum and dad lol

    • Hi fellow SAU members, I want to put coupe tail lights on my R32 sedan. I have been told it was as easy as changing the boot lid and the tail lights and possibly the rear bar. I have since found out that this is incorrect after buying the lights and boot. The coupe boot dosnt allow the boot to oprn on a sedan and the tail lights won't fit either. Has anyone done this or seen it done and could help me out with some guidance or instructions to get it done.
    • Noice one 👍 I've done a 1:16.300 at Watkins Glen, will keep at it. Still have to knock off half a second at Suzuka in the Roadster
    • Two golds! Struggled to get silver on Gran Valley.
    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily
