We are BOTH getting the MK7 R Wigit  :happy2:

After selling my ED30 and scratching the itch of a BMW 330D I decided to get back in a Golf  :signLOL:

3dr Pure White DSG  :happy2:

Hoping it turns up this week as the 35 went this evening and money is burning a hole in the bank account

The one arriving for March is 3 door Blue, DSG, 19s ACC and winter pack

I see MTM have released a map for these.....360 bhp from just a stage 1 re map!!!

They seem to be ahead of the game!

Golf R is a great choice.....the new Haldex 4WD system seems to be far more complex and a big step on from the previous system...can't wait for a test drive as there is a demo coming to my local dealer in the next week or two.

What plans have you pencilled in for the R?

Wow. Lucky you - I'm just a tad gelous! Although we need pics up when you get it   :party:
How long has your wait been? They are painfully long with VW's (especially with the high-performance cars.)

So had a loan R for a couple of months whilst one turned up with a black interior which happened to be leather and FOC so went for Pronav, big thanks to VW Wantage and VW, loaneR racked up 4,000 miles in a month and currently for sale on VW used car site  :happy2:

Had the mine for three weeks and things are starting to come together before off to Detail My Ride for some TLC

Spec:

3 door dsg
Lapiz Blue
Vienna Leather
Pronav
19" Pretorias
Winter Pack
DCC

Fed up of seeing pictures of stock Rs so thought you could see work in progress:

H&R lowering springs
Black washer cap
Black vinyl to mirror caps and bumper lip











Just need the tuners to get their fingers out on mapping rather than tuning box, hopefully a BBK in next 4 weeks and slap the TSWs on to see how it looks

Saw this on AKS Tuning Facebook page, he made a comment about the car only having 800miles on it  :signLOL:

The DCC shocks look a lot like the Rocco's shocks, is it definitely a different (better) system?

The H&Rs really make a difference here, looks soooooo much better.  Does the DCC system still work as effectively with the lower, stiffer springs?

I found on the Rocco that the H&R's took away some of the shocks ability to control the ride with less travel and stiffer springs

DCC is way better than the roc as you can adjust steering an throttle response, its firmer but not really worse

Is it same technology though on the shocks? IIRC Roc is oil level (therefore damping) controlled by a valve.

From reading your posts on Scirocco Central, you never seemed very impressed with that system
