From the front if u take the VW badge out it looks sorta like a alfa GTV :nowigetit

but yeah it looks sorta like a fast back too so could be a passat

didn't oz used to werk for audi service center? :)

neo I have finally sign up to vwvortex after so many yrs of lurking :):D Now I just gotta get the engine out of ur car ;)

how did u know that :Paranoid:

I use to work for austral VW/MG/Rover & we did ge the odd audi in lol :elaugh:

got to love the RV5boars fly by wire system try to throw em through a corner & start to lose grip & the car stops accelerating even when ur foot is flat to the floor :) mad little cars I would have one just would not like to pay for the soervicing when I waas there it was around $96 a hour in labour fees :D

I got charged an arm and leg when my pos golf got serviced once at austral :D (yeah i know shouldnt goto dealer service centurd :D )

neo I want to know whats the fastest 1/4m time any golf in qld or australia has ever done with any vw engines? I'v only seen rice mk4 1.8t thats slow as(couldnt spool the bigger turbo), and all these bone stock "still under factory warranty" golf r32, no real fast vr6 either.. :rolleyes:

I remember one little GTi golf we had in it was black with BIG & I MEAN BIG chromes under it 19" had a 3"inch zorst with custom exhust manifold & I think it was a bigish turbo 2 fifteens squashed into the trunk & riced up to the max lol was a sweet little car & went well too was funny trying to get it under way with light throttle :P

I think it would of been about mid 80s model the older ones with the twin round head lamps on the front

in Aus theres not many fast golfs, the fastest i heard of was the MTM Golf from sydney (TCCA Motorsport > http://www.tccamotorsport.com.au/ )... (its power figures wernt that amazing, but for a golf, they are pretty good)

links to articles about it here:

VW Golf GTI - The Golf (England) Apr 2001

VW Golf GTI - Hot 4s Jan 2000

VW Golf GTI - Street Heat Nov 1999

these articles are pretty old now so i dont know whats the fastest golf in aus any more!

my plans involve...

APR Chip

K04 Turbo

Schrick cam

3" Turbo-Back exhaust system

Custom FMIC

Bigger brakes

Bilstein or H&R suspension

Bosch fuel pump

GFB Stealth FX bov

17" BBS wheels

Reiger body kit

black leather retrim

some other stuff too! it wouldent be as quick as a skyline, but meh, they are like go karts when you put suspension on these things! i love my standard recaros too :P hehe

and oz, it would have been a MKII GTI (with the smaller lights on the inside of the larger ones)

theres quite a few MKI/MKII golfs getting around! rare as hell but! i saw one a while back at willowbank (MKI) with a 12A in it... i think it was a 12A :confused:

anyway, it did a 13... i wish they were rwd :) the only thing i hate about my car!

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
