Congrats mate awesome times.. and cracked a 12! The Stg 2+ plus TBE seems to be a solid performer!

Fantastic work.

Great work Ferret.

Hey Fab, how did you/are you handling the no ACC thing?

I was thinking about it but it would feel wierd having the button there with no function.. but then again I see your angle in that the car looks so much better a bit lower. Ive always dropped my cars an Inch maybe inch and a half.. So question, can we get springs for the ACC?!

[Fab_R]

Hey REXman.

(Sorry I know off topic Corey)

Yeah going well and not missing ACC.

I drove it in mostly sport anyway with ACC. Same ride with new setup.

The button just flashes now.

I have lowered about an inch. Just what it needed.

I understand there are springs available to suit ACC.

The German R forum guys are doing the change.

I like the coilovers as it gives flexibility on changing ride height. And simply.

Also slightly off topic, Fab, you could just pop the ACC button off and put some black electrical tape on the underside of it. That'd stop the flashing with minimal of effort

Yep, or disconnect the bulb wires

Surely you can disable this in VCDS.

Hey Corey yeah probably could, or just unplug the focker!

Apparently not possible DC you GIAC whore (JOKE).

Hi Guys,

Quick question re APR stage 1 tune for the Golf R - once flashed, is it always on or are there different profiles to select from?

Also, does the tune assume you will have to use 98RON fuel? Thanks.

[Corey_R]

That's a question for the Tuning and Performance (inc ECU upgrades) forum, but to quickly respond. The Golf R does not allow any "switching" like older models do. The S3 and TT-S are now also in the same boat. There isn't enough memory available on the ECU being used in them.

Thus, no matter which tune you go to, it's permanent (hence why they now have "back to stock for dealer servicing" plans).

The tune assumes you have 98 fuel, yes. But then, so does the stock tune. The stock tune will accomodate 95 with reduced performance, but I'm not sure how accomodating the stage 1 tunes are... not that I've ever used 95 in a VW...

+1. The ride height of your car looks perfect.

I understand there are springs available to suit ACC.

+100!! Get the %^$# OUT! Im keyed up for some springs for sure. Once the shocks die in like maybe 3 years.. I'll get some man shocks, the real deal. But I would be keen on some springs only for now cause descent shocks cost a bit, and I want to do it properly when its time.. but for $400-500 - why not!

Interesting developments - Is VAG trying to limit 3rd party tuning?
