p plate legal golf

[AusScare]

Vr6 is pplate legal isnt it? thats what i'm looking at

Yeah it is, only 128kw. Expensive car to maintain though.

I wasn't 'hooked up'. I own an R32.

I could SWEAR that the R32 WAS on the banned list. But I am led to believe they 'reviewed' the rules, to allow for V6 cars under 200kW.

In answer to original question:

Gav is pretty much making the most sense.

Having a light, fun and nimble car will be great. Without spending too much money on ppower gains with negligible returns, you can save for other things.

If the R32 isn't for you, buy a Mk5 GTD Sport and flash-tune it.

I really really really really really really wish I had done that

i'm not saying that everyone who bought an R was 'hooked up'. its just i see heaps of them around chatswood with red p plates on with bumpers all scratched up because they can't drive for ****. an example a couple of years ago when my classmate just got his p's, mummy and daddy bought optioned up mk5 r32 for him. i worked all my arse off and could only afford an '01 bora with over 170k on the clock. so don't take is as an offense

I bet you get more satisfaction from driving your car though.. I know I do when I drive my Jetta as opposed to driving my old Bora that my parents bought me. Sure I can't do as much as I use to, but at least this car is mine (or St George's.. Whichever way you wanna look at it ) and mine only.

Back on topic though; would extractors and exhaust make a difference on a 1.6/2.0 Golf?

[C.T_07]

err a lot actually! lots of hooked up asian kids drive them (not being racist, its just a fact )

lmao true true, the younger generation are getting more spoiled

There are allowances for forced induction.
Eg from here:

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/gettingalicence/car/p1p2_conditions.html?llid=4

Examples of moderate performance turbo/supercharged vehicles that may be eligible for exemption include (but are not limited to):

Audi 1781cc, A3 and A4
Mercedes-Benz 1796cc, C180, CLK200K, E200K, C200, C230 and SLK 200K
Saab 1988 cc, 9-3 Linear, Arc and Vector
Volvo 2521cc, S80, XC70 and XC90
Volkswagen 1400cc Golf 90TSI 118TSI, 1400cc Jetta 118TSI and 2000cc Tiguan 125TSI

The Passat 1.8T and Golf 4 GTI (same 1.8T as the A3 and A4 on this list) used to be listed under VW but the eligible cars list has been updated.

My wife is just about to get her Ps...

She is going to go for the exemption on driving our MkV GTI as its the only auto available to drive (Pogo and MkII are both manual obviously)...she is 30 and needs it for work and taking kids to school so I reckon she should be right with the exemption, what do you reckon?

You have 3 cars in the family, they'll probably ask her to learn to drive manual

All P platers are hoons and a danger to other drivers when behind the wheel of performance vehicles.

Just kidding, I'm sure the stereotype brakes at a certain age, 30 is safe

haha yeah i wondered that myself.

[Bee]

Probably allowed due to the fact it was easier to ban turbo's than crack down on cars with power figures over a certain amount.

Also how many P Platers do you see driving an R32/R20?

Im one of the lucky ones

[paolob]

i drove my pirelli while i still had 4 months to go until i got my fulls
i dont encourage it because everyone behind me i suspected they were undercovers!
but yeah stick to the law

happy new years btw!

[Richie32]

mm

i was on my p's with a mk5 r32 hehe it was good, im on my fulls now though but sometimes jst feel like putting red p's on lol wonder if i would get in trouble :S

[AnteGTI]

i know p platers who drive concrete pumps (massive machines that look like cranes) on there ps and they need a heavy rigid licence or something like that and you cant get that on ur ps... but exemption allowed it coz it was for work. U'll be sweet as for the p plate thing... i took of the gti badge
