    If he is willing to give you the specs and it proves that you can mount it and want to do a group buy we may be able to get an airfreight container cheap cheap

    My Talladegas get on the plane tonight and will take new updated photos before she goes in for a spray.

    Who is good in Sydney for Spray work? got charged by Tempe tyres $125 per wheel matt black with clear coat finish, too good to be true?

    • Yeah maybe, problem will be the damn freight cost he's quoting though and to get enough to make the order viable to reduce shipping will incur GST and import duties.....

      What I really need is a 1:1 printout or another one to do a test fit to my car with....

        Maybe we should make a thread of EOI then throw the idea past him, then when the deal is ready we all pay via paypal.

        WAIT A SECOND!

                    In S the gearbox will only shift at redline unless the throttle is being really lightly feathered.

                      Ah right, that is S...
                      I don't like S or D, except D for city drive, I always use manual...

                      Anyway also in D or in S the steering wheel paddles are active, so you can choose when shift...

                      • Yeah, i often forget that they work, then when in D I wonder why the damn thing isn't upshifting!

                        Interestingly, I have found that when in S, if you activate cruise control, the car gets into 7th as quickly as it can yet when you deactivate it, it drops back to a gear that puts the revs right back in the fun range

                          Good info, I didn't know that...! I'll try tomorrow
                          What I really don't like, but probably we are definetively OT on this thread , is the kick-down, specially when I'm in manual: why the car can decide to down shift if a completely push the right foot? If I want a progression from 4.000 in manual with full gas I can't...!
                          Make me angry!!

                          • how about this: some of the bluemotion drivers over here have taken their cars to the german autobahn, top speed: 173 on TomTom.. BUT: when accellerating with CC, top speed: 193 on TomTom!

                            Some 1.2 TSI drivers tested this: simular results

                            So the cars are definately limited on top speed, and the CC is apperently a way to bypass this system

                              Ok, as soon as I'll remove my winter tyres I'll try also this on my GTI...
