  1. Leave the exhaust system completely stock, nothing will match the stock exhaust for what you pay, not worth it. Keep a grand in your pocket and live without a stupid 2-3 kW gain (or loss) on a dyno sheet, which makes no difference in your driving. And im not writing this from second hand information, it's from personal experience.

  2. Actually guys this is a dud car. VW have "tuned" the engine to give it an extra 22kw and 25 NM of torque. Using this same 1.8T engine, most after market chip tunes will jump the normal 110KW 210 Nm to 140-150 kw and 280-310 Nm for MAX 1800 AUD. 22425 euros is about 37 ks AUD.

    Add your on roads and your're close to 40k. I was offered a normal polo gti for 33 fully speced on road. So with that extra 7 k, you can certain end up with a more powerful and better looking beastie.

    Spot on dude, thats the thing with Turbo's, you can mod them cheaper with aftermarket stuff than factory.

  3. Yeah looks pretty awesome, your pre-facelift models had those wicked headlights you got on, unlike our big bugg eye ones. CAI with high petrol prices? :) not a good move. Infact I wouldnt get one unless i needed it for track use. For a daily driver, youre wasting more fuel. For track or strip, sure no probs.

  4. I was looking at the TTE website and found their turbo kit. Its for the MRs but im sure it would fit in the rolla as well. Very impressive figures. I wonder if this will ever be on the production line in South Africa. In fact I would prefer this option in the future Sportivo instead of the Compressor. The turbo pumps out 255 NM of torques compared to the 215Nm from the blower. Wouldnt that make more sense???

    Here is a link of the PDF

  5. Once again the ref made a crucial decision awarding France the 1st penalty, which was another beautifully mastered DIVE!!!. Good win to the Italians, they must have practiced penalty kicks all week coz they never looked like missing :) . Got them at $4.25, picked up $212.50. Zidane, legend of the game, shame to see him bou out in his last game, much like Hagi(Farken gunn!!!) did in the Euro's 2000 q/f. He will always be remembered for the head butt, but im sure Materazzi said something to really ***** him off. As for the SOCCEROOS, they were the fairest team of the tournament, and played tough like men. Made the rest of the teams look like pansies especially the Italians, who are half drag queens.

    Best Moment : Timmi Cahill slamming home the second goall !!! that was priceless :) put the aussie boys on the football map, and fed square went nuts!!!!

    Worse Moment : The dodgy penalty with Italy!!! wont get over it until 2010!!!

    Funniest: Watching Les Murray lift a german newspaper during the world cup show, to show the viewers a headline only for a big pair of tits to be flashed across from the backpage :), Ohh Fozzies gigantic tie knots.

    Unluckiest team: Ivory Coast.

    Worst performed team: The whole refereeing panel and FIFA, what a joke.

    Bring on the Asian Cup!!!

  6. Funny each time there is some worthwhile discussion there is always someone who felt under fire.

    Normally, it comes from the same group of people too.

    Well, I guess its a freedom of speech over at forums.

    I know its possible to land on lift, i never said it is impossible anyway. Its just require operation beyond standard procedure.

    For sure man, and also tollerences in the mechanical side of things, I mean it's not like all these gearboxes are identical.

  7. It can be done every time, you just have to know how to shift. Alot of you guys still move the stick from 1st to 2nd straight down, and you have a 50-50 to get it in second in time. If you push it into second slightly to the left, it gets in quicker and you improve your chances.

  8. I think the thread is referring to launching on the drag strip

    Hey Carlo?, it looks like your car has gained a few pounds, might be time to take her out for a run :P

    As for the drag strip, they launch like crap on a stock clutch, no turque down low, get someone to push ya!! :lol:

  9. Henry made the penalty look worse than it was, it was SOFT. The whole world cup was ruined by these pissey decisions, I hope FIFA take a long hard look at the refereeing and realise what a bunch of nitwits refereed his tournamnet. Friggen JOKE!!! Sheizen Housen!!!

  10. My prediction for last four will be : Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Brazil,

    with the Final Germany vs Brazil

    and the Germans will have revenge from 02.

    I am hoping the Germans will take on Italy in a penalty shootout and Totti misses :) so he can truly suck his thumb.

  11. I reckon Kalac got paid to let Croatia win...

    he single handedly nearly lost the game for Australia

    He's a hack! Emerton who I have hated in the past (because of soo much talent and no show) finally delivered in the last 2 games, and misses next round, i'm spewing, he's gona hurt us.
