QUOTE(mugenz @ Sep 8 2011, 05:19 PM) .......... i m so speechless that how much can u save from a reverse light..  if u say only polo has this "feature" to save cost then i understand since its the cheapest entry model. But big bro GTI and Golf also single rite? ROFL LOL we are pulling your leg here. The Scirocco is the only car that has a double reverse light. In terms of cost savings, VW produces hundreds of thousands of cars. If they save USD$100 per light, you multiply that by their sheer production figures and you should get the drift

QUOTE(Royrogers @ Sep 8 2011, 10:53 PM) Mike, dont say that la, we both driving the same car, Torco obviously didnt do any miracle to my car! The acceleration does feel a bit smoother but by a very thin margin only, maybe its only my imagination. Cant review much for now.. Time to try the Torco with Shell V-Power Racing hahaha and then go for a dyno test!

My father said he 1st car was a VW beetle back then so i try to persuade him to get the new one lol rofl~ Ask your dad to get the original one for himself and plonk in a Porsche engine at the back and refurbish the whole car. Then it would be totally awesome as well This post has been edited by Mavik: Sep 9 2011, 04:11 PM

QUOTE(andy_heartless @ Sep 9 2011, 04:41 PM) I'm planning to buy a golf gti soon. How long does it usually takes to order the car? I want the red colour latest edition one. My cousin told me the latest edition one comes with led back light and the rim size is 18 instead of 17. Is that true? Yes that is correct, the latest edition would be the Golf GTI SE and if you book now, from my dealer you should get it around March/April 2012. Added on September 9, 2011, 5:01 pmQUOTE(kavia11 @ Sep 9 2011, 04:46 PM) guys...been away from the forum for a while now...i have finally made my booking for the car..but not the golf tsi..it is the new jetta...actual price is not out yet..but i have reserved for the 1st batch that will be out next month... anyone have any idea for mods for the jetta? any option of DRL and bi xenon lamps? or the Golf R LED taillights? No mods available yet but I am sure there will be once it hits the streets The Golf R LED tail lights will definitely not be able to fit onto the Jetta This post has been edited by Mavik: Sep 9 2011, 05:01 PM

QUOTE(gladfly @ Sep 9 2011, 05:54 PM) SA stated that it is a DSG with 1.4 TSI...no bi xenon lights n sunroof like the version in US... Ah sorry was referring to the CKD's. Since this batch is a tester batch..CBU..mungkin ada DSG!! Good luck and good buy yo According to the several group buy threads at the Autoworld forum, those were the specs indicated as well. Price stated in those group buys were RM138,888 This post has been edited by Mavik: Sep 9 2011, 06:04 PM

QUOTE(andy_heartless @ Sep 9 2011, 07:54 PM) Hmm i wouldn't want to wait that long. If in december or january 2012 maybe is still ok but march/april? Oh no. Maybe i'll just go for the standard golf gti n change the rim n the light myself later. If i want to buy the standard golf gti, how long would i have to wait after booking? Better check quick, I asked for those recently and they said they were running out of it (1 to 2 units left).

QUOTE(DaBestOne @ Sep 10 2011, 06:07 PM) I spent an hour queuing in Das Auto Show.. Then heard the organizer announced something like "COME BACK LATER"  ... And I heard many people who came out from the event shaking their heads, saying it was a waste of time. I Straight cabut balik since it was starting to rain as well Between, is rocco 2.0 available in Malaysia? I noticed most of the rocco owners here drive 1.4? How much does it cost for installing the Rieger bodykit attached below here? It looks too low for Msia road though  Appreciate you guys' feedback. Thanks   You can get the replica kits here which cost around RM6k if I am not mistaken. Original ones are almost double the price. Ask Yan, he is currently using the Rieger kit on his Roc at the moment.

QUOTE(bearbear @ Sep 10 2011, 09:22 PM) guys any idea how much is razor rzr bk for golf tsi? The last time I asked Exotic Mods for the entire Razor kit for the Golf, it was around close to RM16k. But of course you can opt not to take certain parts. Front bumper alone is around RM6k.

QUOTE(bearbear @ Sep 11 2011, 12:55 AM) 16 freaking thousand? those were made from gold or what?  Well if you go to their website in Hong Kong, the price for the bumper is around 800+ USD, after conversion, that comes to around RM2400. If you include in the shipping cost and our fantastic government 40% frigging tax, thats why the price goes up to that much. The full kit includes quite a number of items. But not all of them can fit onto the TSI, for example, their rear carbon fibre roof spoiler can't fit on the TSI, you need to get the GTI spoiler to fit it in. Edit: Full break down of their pricelist here from Hong Kong. http://www.revozport.com/fullpricelist.htm#RANGE!E705This post has been edited by Mavik: Sep 11 2011, 01:00 AM

QUOTE(bearbear @ Sep 11 2011, 01:04 AM) ahh no wonder, no smart arse doing replica set yet?  Hahaha I have been asking around, so far takde but if any of us finds out first, then better let me know! But one thing about replica, I am only more concerned about the front bumper because of the few things that are electronically controlled. The headlight washer, the front sensors and the DRL which comes with the Revozport bumper. Those I rather go with the original stuff man. I have seen some replica Rieger kits (for Roc) which also had horrendous fittings and the DRL's on those replicas not working causing errors on the VAGCOM during the scans.

QUOTE(jyth_82 @ Sep 12 2011, 09:23 AM) Hi All, Anyone have any reliable contacts on installing the RCD510? What are the typical charges? Got a RCD510 at hand to replace the RCD310 in my TSI. You can try doing it DIY Otherwise you can check with Exotic Mods or Exquisite Marques or ACP Audio in SS2 (near the police station facing the bridal houses).
