The Wasteland - ACT Style

[RosieR34]

They're absolutely incredible. haha. But nah, not cheap...will be on a lease though

Good m8 of mine's brother has one of these. It's done up to the 9's and it's got some go. I believe they come with sequential gearbox right?

[Trozzle]

6 speed dual clutch auto

I fully intend to modify it too in the long run lol...but I mean it already does 0-100 in 5 sec

Have driven many the golf r (i work at vw). Definately a fun car, especially with a tune/exhaust/intake. Stil couldnt decide if i would want a manual or auto if i was to get one, both very enjoyable.

[MBS206]

Have they fixed the issue of the golf autos eating themselves like they used to?

[k_d]

Yes and no. 6speeds are better than the 7 speeds. They do have the odd drama. Usually stems from software issues

[GTRKat]

Anyone see this?

Bit of a worry!

[Got a Pulsar]

Oooh wow. That's my local when at work but I'll only put it in the Wagon VERY rarely, (Trojan John says NO to Caltex) so I never do for the 33.

Anfanee had Caltex troubles recently at Lanyon??? Hmmm... scarey.

[THE34T]

Yeah I'm a bit the same, Caltex is always a last resort for me, I'll even consider very clean water first!! I have had a few problems Caltex fuel. I note in the article Caltex blaims the 'independant' owner before considering it may be the fuel

I stick to VPower at all times if possible.

[Trozzle]

So the van's sold more or less lol...Will be taking holding deposit this arvo until he visits the bank tomorrow. Woooooo

[Trozzle]

And I'll be going the 6 speed DSG. I'm so sick of driving manuals now, though I'd still go manual over a typical auto.

[GTRKat]

I had a few issues with what I now call Craptex in the old 33. I know that was a long time ago but I'd never put it in the GTR.

[THE34T]

^^^^ yeah I know it's probably a conspiracy theory but problems seemed to start when Woolworths took control, not sure, but I just stay away from the stuff. I've never had an issue with Shell (fuel that is) and the car seems to perform better on it.

[k_d]

Bp or united seem to have more consistancy than others. Had bad experiences with caltex and shell.

Yeah trozzle i agree. Dsg is pretty good

[zebra]

Shitflamin mongrel batch of fuel from lanyon caltex today for me

flamin mongrel stains

Buying drum fuel for the bikes from now on

[zebra]

Also not limited to caltex

Had shit BP, shit shell fuel.

[Anfanee]

Same place I got shit fuel from.

[GTRKat]

I've had shit fuel from BP before too.

[RosieR34]

Little bit annoyed.. Meant to take Rosie in for her SAFCII tune tomorrow, but I "busted" my knee at my first Gridiron game and can't drive it there -_-

[zebra]

Ouch. Must be bad if you can't drive

[RosieR34]

Ouch. Must be bad if you can't drive

knee dislocated and popped back in, so pretty much all the tenders are in bruise mode. Hurts like CRAZY but the Dr. said give it a week and see how you go. hmmm been waiting 2 weeks for this tune, poop.
