1)Good things aint cheap, cheap things aint good

2)If want to mod, dun be afraid. If afraid, dun mod


I think should sticky these 2 quotes...just keep pounding into newbies heads

I personally know many cars with blown engines and DSG due to our expert local "custom" tunes, personally i would not touch a "custom" tune with a 10feet pole. But i understand the attraction as they are way cheaper then the established brands, and the local tuners tend to be very smooth talkers (meaning good salesmen)

with the influx of new tsi and polo owners...theres this situation of many many new owners entering the VW scene for the first time, all are looking for the same things...extra power, mods, etc...and thers a whole industry of ppl springing up to cater to the new VW modders. Many will relearn lessons and mistakes that the 1st gen learnt years ago...but thats the way things are...the cycle will continue forever

u dont need to find roc specific owners, its exactly the same as GB/engine as 2.0 GTI's so the experience is the same.

generally u will have
- smoother gearshifts
- increase of 30-45bhp
- increase in torque

No. thats not how it works.

APR is always RM3980 for the stage 1 remap.

occasionally they have Sales, where you pay rm3980, but you get the full option package, ie anti theft, valet mode, ron50/97 map switching etc. which needs a cruise control stalk to activate

u can..just need to install the cruise control stalk lor. its all installed, u just cant access it without the stalk. but trust me, you will never touch any of the options, too complicated.

at most u might use the 95/97 map

i think it looks better without. the DRL design is too fussy

lol yes..exactly my thoughts.."it looks like it was installed in sunway"

yes..320i sales have been hurt badly by the GTI, BMW has been slashing prices of the base model 320i

abit OT.

went to renault to service my newly bought company kangoo...sheesh...the service was WAAAAY better then VW

they even wrapped my 123,000km kangoo steering wheel and gearshift with plastic wrap to protect it b4 driving into the workshop

place had alot of parking bays, 15 workshop bays....overall much better experience then VW 222 or last time VW cars federal highway

VW cant cope with the new huge increase in cars....not enuff service advisors...not enuff bays..not enuff parking

double sided tape will not work...no matter how strong and how much you put. trust me..i had it on 2 diffretn VW's, you can DIY drill it in...but the top screw is a real b****.

easier to go workshop pay rm50 get it done

how old is your car? pass 6 months it will squeek as it shifts around from your foot constantly stepping on it...pass 1 year the tape will be come dirty and disgusting as dirt and gunk starts sticking to it and losing elasticity

yea, they are reps

Fit=yes

whether u should..no/yes/doesnt really matter
- Wrong PCD
- VW sure make noise if u try to claim suspension warranty
- your speedo would be slightly off

whalao eh..stop spending on mods and buy a better camera lar

quick tip. if u intend to do ICE mods, invest in a plastic trim removal kit. its not expensive...about rm60-80 from online shops, and they work perfectly.

I got my set from ECS in US about rm120...but many diffrent sizes and i can remove the trim in a GTI in under 30sec

nope, thats for HU removal. u need something like this

trim removal kit

are u driving gti? dont use the FC indicator for current usage, as it will vary wildly based on accelerator pressure, use Avg. FC counter

Sorry guys, i OT abit.

AS some of u might know, i run a VW modshop, and currently in need of staff...so if u know anyone who would love to work with cars, VW mods, meet crazy modders etc, drop me a pm

details of the job is here

Ryous Modshop is Hiring!!

in rgds to the CTR...dun bother playing with them if u dont have at least a GTI with stage 1...u might be able to outrun them on the straights...but they will outcorner and out handle us everytime...

the golfs/rocs are just no match when it comes to the CTR handling

The DSG is in essence a manual car, drive it like one, practice safe driving habits, pull the handbrake on a slope. Press down hard on the brake to engage hill control

conclusion = 0

start times were inconsistent, there was traffic on the road, both cars were seen braking for other traffic

also we dont know the state of tune of the 2 cars, are they both stock?

the only conclusion i would draw is that the car filming...would have eaten both the CTR and Roc

btw...dun race on the roads lar...or at least go find road that has less traffic, sepang has open tract days every month if u really want to settle thses sort of things
