Hmm water leak on the passenger side near the left foot wall, just above the main door speaker. Unsure if it is the aircon or outside water.

Might also be the heater core or one of its connections. Get it checked out pronto — a leak into the footwell is often engine coolant.

Yes its a quick little car that one. A hatchback with a few bolt ons keeping up with some of the worlds finest dedicated mid engined (some of them) sports cars is very impressive. Good driving as well which always helps:

Damn the Golf is solid!

Golf R win?

[Rob_R]

Damn Alfa's, always getting in the way!!!!

[DDTW]

I've got a silly question about the accelerator pedal.

When you floor it completely, there is a "click". Is this amount of throttle any different from when you floor it right before it clicks? Or does the click mean WOT?

[REXman]

GOLF R FTW on this page! That thing around the track sounds incredible! And the R in the crash won! (not exactly a competition but I'll bet on anything!)
