The Golf goes tomorrow :-(

[182_blue]

Well, after a good 2+ years service the golf goes, been looking for ages and in the end it was between the Golf R or the Scirocco R, After trying both i settled on the below, the Golf has be very good and is very rapid and it will be missed.

 Forgive the pictures as the car was in the showroom, in the end i dropped onto this one at just the right time and at a proper price.










heres some pictures i found on the net to give you an idea (albeit im not sure this one has the 19" alloys mine has)

good choice my man.  definately the best of the two in the looks dept. 

wil you mod it, or leave it stock.  if so you potentially could run into issues.  all the guys with 2010 octavia vRS's on briskoda require their ECU to be removed for mapping, cos VW have put an encryption on that means mapping via he OBD port isnt possible until someone breaks the code.

Very nice Shaun

Revo Carl has already said (to me anyway) the Roc R uses the older MED 9 ECU so has no problem with this encryption thing.

so remap away if you wish!

Is yours a manual or DSG?

A real gearbox ... not these out of date manual things

[chungster]

yeah same engine as the S3 so 300 ponies easy with remap.

i'm holding off for a bit longer till someone tests how strong the OEM clutch is on the manual with a remap.

I am not going to knock manuals at all, but i reckon DSG will suite me more these days, plus when im escaping from lights im less likely to fluff the change with an auto
