Golf R Observations and Questions

[DDTW]

Should've gone with the Recaros guys. Best of both worlds

It's got the looks + leather + microfibre so your bum doesn't freeze or burn!

All my mates fight over who gets to call shotgun just so they can be in them lol....

Yeah, the only thing that makes me swing towards leather is it doesn't end up with cat hair, etc all over it which ends up on my suit (don't ask me how it gets there in the first place)

Pussy in your car!!!!

Nice work

Speaking of which, I guess the wipe down factor of leather is also a postive.

Not so. Love being able to sit down when it's been sitting in the sun and love not sliding around as much in hard cornering.

I don't recall ever having an issue with the hot days and find the seats are more than bolstered enough to stop you sliding around. Had no problems on the track or twisties.

Couch Police but I agree. Leather FTW

+1 for couch police but then me and my couch are close lol

Found this while googling brakes or something, guy fit RS4 brakes to his R which is on like page 27 but keep going, the bloke is nuts... flared front guards, massive turbo and ext gate.

Just observed the dimmer switch controls all the dash lighting including the door switches. This is a tad annoying as I like the switch back lighting to be brighter than the dash lighting..

So picked it up yesterday. Have already put 900km on it, the interstate pickup and drive home helped. All I can say is wow. Ive come from a Mr2 spyder and a Pulsar SSS prior, this is in a whole other category. Not regretting the opportunity cost of 2nd hand 135i at all...

I havn't had a car to date that inspires you to wake up early and find the best twisties and drive for the sheer delight of it. The Golf R begs you to take her out and push her to see what she can do. So a bit before 7 I headed out to Gaulston Gorge.

This run is hair pin tight and a good spot to test out both sport mode on the DSG and the ACC and it is well worth it. Got the engine light pinging a couple of times and that seemed to be only when I put the car on the apex of a hairpin going at a steep incline other than that she could not get enough of the tight bends, hairpins and limited short runs. Needless to say that was enough adrenalin for one morning.

The engine note must be something else form the outside , the cyclist bail over to the side 2 kays in advance as they hear the car coming or the throttle blips as it comes down the gears as I get closer.

A great bit of kit.. still concerned after a thrash that it needs some "cool down" time so when I get back into the built up areas dropped her back into D and putter home.. except for that pesky new 300C that thought he might have me for breakfast

That build is huge! good find Dave... Big $$$ Hard to see the difference with the wider front guards, but will be interesting to see what power it makes.
