how do you install it?

my current shift light is not giving me much joy

its like power/neg/rpm signal.

Not hard. pulsar was not a typical setup, so i never got it running, but someone else with a pulsar did. i dunno. I dont need it anymore. so its $40 if you want it. Got manual and box for it, maybe 30cm of wire and its the flat type, not the curved type. its quite a good unit. can set custom rpm increments and will use lights to show battery voltage when on Acc.

 

Also f**k this hotel internet. uses a Mikrotik router of some sort... using a release from 2015 so it cant be that old... repeated speedtests says everything is fine, pulls decent speed, but every 10mins or so it just wont load webpages. I had a download running and it was stable at 200kbs, then spiked to 1000. all the while google would time out. Owner says the router cuts you off if you breach 500mb in an hour, but i can barely use it for 5mins without problems.

[emts]

yeah sure, send me a PM with a bank details for it and a express post bag and will send over.

That stuff is stored on a separate drive

Is that another dock I need, or are they the same pin set up as a normal hard drive...?

depends on what SSD you have, the normal "sata" ones are same pin setup as hard drives though yes. 

[dezz]

Shall have to open the mother f**ker again. Think they're underneath the mobo with the ramz

[TiTAN]

There's also msata

Got a source for RS6 quartermile times? That sounds optimistic to me for the V10 model. Regardless, none of that negates my point that the same results can be achieved for substantially less in a probably more reliable and cheaper to repair way.

Also struggling with 12 second flat from R/S3 with just that. I'd believe breaking into the 12s...but am feeling a turbo swap to get a high 11 out of them. They would need another 100kw at least...

High 11's is doable with EA888 MQB platform motors, EA113 like mine, I reckon it isn't possible, but could be wrong... One way to find out hey?

Wow if that is the stock turbo...are they laggy or just amazing tech?

F6 seems to do similar stuff with flash tune and exhaust

I imagine life gets very expensive once you go beyond that for the Golf

Stage 1, 2 are with stock turbo. Upgraded turbo is considered stage 3. Poofy I know. If you see people with MK5 GTI or MK6R with a "+" that means high pressure fuel pump upgrade on top of the tune.

So what power does a stock Golf R make?

And what power does one with a tune, exhaust and cooler make and cost?

Damn so many golfs on the street these days they will just cream me i spose lol

 

Ive been in a launched Golf R and it was quick from a launch but died down afterwards

 

At wheels, 165-170kw (at least with MK6 - dunno about MK7)

They are a big stock turbo compared to what they tune it to. In "stage 2" trim you are around 250kw at the wheels. So it doesn't really hit hard until 3000-3500.

 

Yep, Golf R has K04 from factory (at least with MK6), 250 is pushing it, I'd say 230-240 at wheels with 2+ (plus intercooler, DV, and maybe actuator).

250awkw with a cooler zort and tune wow. How does the DSG hold up

 

Should have bought the wife a Golf R not an Evo X

Apparently the stock clutch packs in 6 speed DSG as found in GTI/R/GTD/TDI can handle 600 crank HP. 

As for daily driving, DSG is brilliant. Drives like a auto and will do compression braking if you're driving steep hill downwards. Although DSG reprogram would be ideal, its bit "lazy" when you want to do overtakes or something.

I should make mine faster and that means $$$$

Not sure about the dsg, the dry clutch 7 speed boxes aren't known for their reliability but the 6 speed wet clutches seem to go ok, but I'm not sure how they go at that power level.

 

Read above. And mine has done nearly 142k kms (I drive it every day) and it's faultless*, go wet clutch DSG.

On the flipside, that means cheap insurance. 

So I'm not complaining! 

[Count Grantleyish]

Would love a Focus RS.

But too poor for one of these things  

[dezz]

Mother f**ker

[TiTAN]

Looks like a sata based m.2 drive. So you can get an m.2 to usb adaptor.

Birds. According to the news if you wait a bit these suburbs are likely to have a lot of people at risk of defaulting on their home loans.

Derrimut, Point Cook, Werribee, Cranbourne, Craigieburn

[dezz]

Put it back together already, before I throw it at the f**king wall.

Those kunce can fix it

[Leroy Peterson]

yeah sure, send me a PM with a bank details for it and a express post bag and will send over.

You planning on any track days or SAU events in the near future?
Otherwise I'm happy to post

[emts]

not near near future, unless a deca comes up, 

 

gathering a few parts to fix/upgrade  a couple things in prep for later in the year.

expecting house Oct  so any time after then as I will have somewhere to store/work on car

 

It's not living with me currently so makes it hard

My prediction of 88E falling post spud (a nothing event) came true

seems like its pretty solid at 0.045. An order there will probably sit there for a week or more until theres a dump for no reason.

still got a while to go. I'll sit and wait till after tax time. No more buying for me. Need to focus on my MMA gambling side gig. live betting online is quite lucrative.

[emts]

So just got a over due notice from foxtel..

 

for 1 cent....

yeah that was worth them sending a letter and not just adding to the next bill

 

(must have had a typo when paying last one and put 13c at end not 14..)

Sounds like there is Per User Shaping and quota...

If you're going through 500mb in 5 minutes, turn down the quality of the video until it all looks like japanese porn.
