Golf R Observations and Questions

Or have a real transmission

I've got two of 'em

Has anybody been able to get the "TP" (traffic thing) to work on their headunit?

It's basically not supported in Australia. None of the radio stations broadcast the TP messages.

Too much 4Motion at your place mate.
Nice garage though.

Hope we can see you at the Euro gathering.

Nice, your garage will look the same as ours.

[Lucas_R]

+1 from me too.

Or have a real transmission and it's not an issue

Nope, just know the difference of a sublime gear change you can't feel and distribution of power cleanly and efficiently to the drive train.. not some granny shifting , museum ready piece of history crashing away

Awww, diddums. Keep on praticising and one day you won't grind gears and kangaroo-hop down the street

Any R owners tried dragging with an R35 before?

What about a 535?

WRX?

EVO X?

[Fab_R]

Hahaha good find.

[triode12]

The Golf Rs probably did better than the Subies because their owners bought the Sprint booster in the last GB.

[Ryan_R]

Not that they have any impact on "performance", or so we're repeatedly told

[Prodigy]

Damn, those R35 GTR's are quick!!
