negatron

Gents, In my diy CAI design i used a wrx cai kit i picked up and modded it to fit mr prefacelift. it worked awesome and now live in Dave's car (YDOIT4) Another one has come on the market. Cheap WRX CAI the guy wants 120 for it. I reakon you could pick it up for 100. All u need is a hack saw and 1 extra silicon joiner (13 bucks from autobarn) and i'll show you how to turn it into a full sik CAI.

HMmm... Thought my little article posted would stir something. I've run both SRIs for various descriptions and a CAI for my rolla. End of the day? CAI wins hands down. The article talked about the pros and cons of of the sri and yes the maths was solid and the sri does seems not as bad as we all thought. But.... look at the cai used in the rolla. we are not talking about meters of extra piping with lots of bends. whatever you gain in throttle response in a SRi for the rolla you loose in the mid to high end. Take the plunge, get a CAI, you won't regret it. for more interesting reading. read this series on negative boost. http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_0629/a...?popularArticle it will give more insight into air flow restrictions.

Gents, I've just bought another set of HIDs from my regular ebay guy (the negatron-mobile is going quad hids) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=290042266766 the end price into my hands is 172.50+20 bucks pick up fee. anyone else want a set whilst i got this price? i'll be meeting up in person to pick my set up and i can get yours whilst i'm there.

My mom uses Roger from Ultra Tune Glen Waverley. Just tell him Kev in the blue Passat sent you.

No i'm not! I wanted someone that one of us has at least used before.

Hi all, I'm needing some help from the melbourne boys. A Brembo kit is on its way to me for my Passat. It consists of 2 4 piston monoblock calipers, Audi S4 rotors, custom made dogbone mount to fit the calipers on the rotors, and SS lines. Rollamods has advised me that i would need to get them engineer inspected to be road legal. Can the melb fellas point in me in the right places to get this done?

Waiting for the next melb dyno day so i bring it back to the same dyno. Stock was 85kw atw. I'm expecting about 105-115 atw this time around.

Will get to properly wire in the LED light in the shifter soon, then pics will arrive. But i'm headed to sydney for 2 weeks! so piccies will have to wait a little bit longer. MOre pics to come later, but first, some good memories.

The chip has arrived! After much hassels and being caught in the cross fire between 2 tuning houses. And a new wastegate controller valve. 150 kw 310 Nm! WHoooo!

Hey all, Negatron and Ms. Negatron are visiting sydney. I'm wanting to surprise her with a photo shoot in formal attire but i need a photographer. even a hobby photographer will do, as long as they're decent. Its for an hour or so on a saturday and i'm willing to pay 130 bucks with all shots burnt to cd or 150 with all negatives, oh and did i mention lunch? :D if the helper is a toca member i will also throw in a limited ed negatron special, a chrome shifter! Pls pm me !

Not pimp, zoom.

Update: The nice tuner man has taken a dump of my ecu and sent it off to GIAC usa where they will do my custom tune, then the nice GIAC man will pack all that kw and torque into an email and send it back. 2 more sleeps to zoom zoom time.

Bill, that post was too long. Hand over your moderator badge now to give me back the lost time in scrolling the page down.

I said performance mod. First mod I did was actually to transplant my HIDs from the rolla. then with my modding bro bigbum, we went single din dvd players. he got the sony and i got the JVC, then i popped in my rockford fosgate tweeters as the center speakers. After that it was the chrome shifter knob with LED lit Shift pattern, and boost guage (took it apart and changed the back light to match the stock blue in the car) As per my rolla, i've souced my own OEM fog lights (this time from germany) and they're arriving next week, where I will wire them just like i did my rolla (except with a #@$# vw fog switch instead of the jaycar special) After the GIAC chip whats next? Whooper big brake kit using 4 pot Porsche Calipers and S4 rotors - in negotiations est cost 2.1k K04 big turbo kit - very maybe only. est cost 4k RIMMMSSSS - still looking for something chrome enough to do the car worthy. Then? Stage 3 - oettinger furry dice

Stage 1 GIAC chip going in boys! 150 kw and 300 Nm Torque here i come.

Hey Danz, Wanna try the vw r32? theres a Mk V one sitting in camberwell vw right now!

Think I'll add to the hot hatch with my test drive contributions: Polo Gti: I jumped into one of these a couple of months back and when i fist got in the impression was similar to danz, "is this it?" the plastic were on par with the corolla i had at the time, with perhpas slighlt better ergonomics, but it didn't feel like i would get what i paid for. on start up the 1.8T in this car is smooth, well behaved and linear in power delivery but runs out of steam in the higher 5xxx rev range. the shifting was good but the throws seemed a bit long. The feeling is like driving one of those old school Starlet turbos, torque in a small car, it started pouring hard in the middle of the test drive so there was little to test in conrer except to say that road holding in the wet is decent. the pedal setup in all VWs I have driven so far does not allow my style of driving to heel toe very well (or at all) so the best that you can settle for is side stepping. In stock form the Polo GTI is quick and smooth, the light weight of the car really covers most high rev limits of the 1.8T well. However, these days a simple 1800 ecu flash will turn your mild mannered hatch into an angry angry little car. Jumping it from 110kw to about 140 - 150 kw depending on the chip tune. and if you need even more power, a 5-6k job with a brand new k04 bolt on and the appropriate chip tune brings you even higher with over 300 NM of glorious torque. but in my opinion the breaks will not be sufficient for the latter option and you start the big bucks in modding. Soon to come. Mazda 3 MPS. zoom zoom.

Its attitudes like that that screw up the world mate.

Look mate, don't listen to all these fools, the cat is where the power is lost man. ANd don't let the cops sniffing around deter you from boring that lil cat out. its kw and torque man! just look at this pic for the results you can get,

you mean like this? Step 1) Buy rolla Step 2) Turbo it Step 3) Live the hoon life? :P

NOrthy ain't a nig, he's a cracker! lol

Don't bother, what you're really after is more torque rather then more power (KW). and that is not something you really get out of a high strung NA engine like this one. You can follow all the advice on these threads, and throw money at it but at the end of the day, you will not get the driving feel you want coz the way i see you write, you need the feel of F/I to be happy. Instead of forking out bit by bit on little things, why not just do it at one shot and get the blitz S/C kit for the stivo? Or just hold on and hope it doesn't depreciate that much and go F/I as soon as possible.
