Tuning / performance update

[clip]

I noticed the steering was a lot sharper too I think a big fat Nuespeed rear swaybar may be in order though

yeh, it is sharper and more flickable, but interestingly mine does now understeer more than before, which I'm not overjoyed about. Not sure why that's the case. Would a stiffer swaybar help? Any suspension gurus out there?

I'm actually thinking the Haldex upgrade might be the next mod to help get some more power to the rear wheels ( front wheel drive ).

Big fat rear swaybar will definitely cut down on understeer, in my VR6 it even caused oversteer (which was damn fun!!)

The intake is great, definitely more responsive and you get some good, yet subtle noises. DV and high rev growl in particular

... their tig as it isn't really a performance vehicle, a GTI is more suitable.

yeh, I agree with what you're saying on one hand team v, but then that's where I also disagree. There are lots of people that want performance SUV's or 4x4. That was sort of my argument before http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...t=34658&page=5

The fact that the Tig has such potential with such a good platform to begin with, sort of makes me wonder why VAG don't exploit it more. Maybe that would be crossing over too far into the Audi side where the profit margins are so much better?

I agree that is it a good base with large potential.
I was stating that most people would not have bought their tig for that potential.


The only issue with the performance side of the tig might be the higher centre of gravity but if it is only for a spiritied drive, then it shouldn't be a problem.
The engine is great with a chip, it gets a bigger increase than any other vw engine i have seen.

If anyone needs a stage 3 kit for the Tiguan, Thats not a problem!

The kit is the same as the new Golf VI GTI just released, the only difference is the exhaust which we prototype & fabricate in Brisbane anyway!

One thing you should allow for is a new clutch & flywheel combination & the front mount intercooler - the rest of the drivetrain will handle it well.

Great work Guy!
You have gone above and beyond for the VW scene.

I am sure Clip will be stoked to hear about the Stage 3 availability.
Should turn the Tig into a monster!

RSV4 or RAV4?


Why are you going with the RAV if that is correct?

[Sharkie]

Its a motorbike .... https://www.mynrma.com.au/cps/rde/xc...rilia_rsv4.htm

Question, do you REALLY need it I would have suspected the R1 would stay sufficient for a while ......

I know Sharkie, I know, but 180+hp is very addictive- especially in a package like this!:

Team V wash your mouth out

Sorry, hazzard of having to correct too many typo's for work.
The new bike looks pretty wicked.
180+ Hp would be enjoyable on that frame.

We've gone totally off-topic, but some bad news ... Buell and MV Agusta to be no more ... Harley is broke so killing or selling off both .....

Back on topic .... 235/50/18s going on the RS4s before the end of this week ......
