Tigger73's 162TSI Sportline

[tigger73]

The other reason I’m looking to lower the Tig is that our meter box is in the carport at exactly the wrong height:



30mm should just give enough clearance that I don’t have to worry about taking out the mirror each time I back out the car.

And at this time tigger became world famous for the perfect excuse on why to lower cars.

Unfortunately the damage has already happened [emoji24][emoji21]



Justification right there...

Fold the mirrors in when in the driveway?

Fold the mirrors in when in the driveway?

lowering > folding

lowering > folding

Lowering solves the problem permanently.

What do you think the chances are of getting my wife to fold the mirrors each time?? Somewhere between zero and none

I’d be blaming the scratched mirror on the crooked seat / steering wheel issue. Probably same cause.

Ran some stock 0-100 times today...

Without LC:




With LC:










Using G-tech 20Hz GPS timer. 8 satellites so decent level of accuracy. I ran a couple of runs in each direction on a flat road so results are reasonably consistent.

VW claimed figure in their brochure for the 162TSI Highline is 6.5sec so this is confirmed

That’s a massive difference with LC. Well done getting the stock base line stats. With your runs did you have ESC on sport and DCC on sport? Now looking forward to the hybrid IS38 times...

Yes LC makes a decent difference to getting off the line. ESC Sport and DCC on sport. You're already at 3,500rpm so pick-up is pretty much instant. Plus I found that the gear changes were a lot harder when launching than normal.

Reasonably impressive for a stock SUV.

This time around I'm making sure I have a good baseline for comparison

I terms of end game that is still up in the air. One of my main concerns is to maintain the drive-ability. High flow IS38's don't really come on hard until 4,000rpm. I'm looking at a punchy street car and not a track/drag car. Considering high flow IS20, IS38, hybrid IS38 pros and cons at the moment. It comes down to $ and bang for buck plus overall drive-ability in the end.

I'd like to get 250kwaw and sub 4's 0-100 but I'm not sure at this point whether this is something that I want to sacrifice the daily driving for and whether I can achieve both outright performance and responsiveness.

Sounds about right for a LC "benefit".

Can't have you knocking me off, I may need that tweak down the track after all.

You'll be safe for a little time yet... 5 pot will always have the edge in terms of engine/exhaust note.
