QUOTE(khyong77 @ Jul 14 2011, 10:37 PM) Hi all bro, The anti roll bar would show the most difference. Other options would be to change your suspension system and springs.I would like to improve my Golf Tsi handling as i feel my ride is too soft especially taking corner.. Which shall i choose between lowered sport spring or anti roll bar replacement? And which brand is better? Thnks... |

Do you know what is the stock ARB diameter ? Added on July 20, 2011, 10:16 am QUOTE(khyong77 @ Jul 19 2011, 09:19 PM) Just upgraded rear UR ARB to my Golf tsi today.... Feel better ride and handling compared to stock... Really surprise the different between the hollow and solid ARB... luckily try before the lowered sport spring which will harsh the ride. Nice, how much did it set you back for?QUOTE(rosizzat1000 @ Jul 19 2011, 11:55 PM) No the stock ARB are different.This post has been edited by Mavik: Jul 20 2011, 10:16 AM |

QUOTE(ben228 @ Jul 22 2011, 09:33 PM) hey,guess wat,i gav exotic mod a call today to ask bout revozsport bodykit...been told they hav their own brand of ecu remapping too...they told me for gti stage 1 can get 265hp...extra than d apr n mtm...d price below 3k too...wow...hows that? There are plenty of custom remaps and branded remaps available. Some people swear by their custom remaps and some of them swear by the branded ones. Those who go with the branded ones usually want to have the ease of mind because these are done by reputable tuning companies. There has been cases where custom maps have blown up an engine before but of course that was in the past. The only remap I know which does offer warranty is that you get the one from ABT. |

QUOTE(jyth_82 @ Jul 27 2011, 04:48 PM) Hi all, Anyone tried the APR stage 1 on their TSI? Or any other mod-chips? Fuel consumption didn't go up. Actually went down instead, used to average around 10.5L/100km now the average has dropped to around 9.7L/100km (note these are all on Ron95). So far no issues with it, the APR map has a very nice and smooth torque curve (let me see if I can find my dyno chart somewhere, left it at Yan's car the other time and now I misplaced it again) and the map has the security lockout which is fantastic. Those of you who are after for more power, let me say that the APR doesn't give the most power among the other maps. So far those with the highest whp for a 1.4 TSI is on a custom map from GT Auto. Best recorded was around 210whp (Yan correct me here if I am wrong about the Roc you mentioned but Gary's Golf 1.4TSI gave around 195whp) but of course this is with a full downpipe, intake and exhaust setup as well.What is the reported fuel consumption? Or any notes/issues/problem when using this (besides the obvious problems of voiding the warranty Added on July 27, 2011, 11:28 pm QUOTE(Kilang Kimpalan @ Jul 27 2011, 08:24 PM) This question has been asked several times already. Somehow the ppl who has the APR S1 upgrade don;t want to share with us the details. If you search back the older versions of the thread, I did give feedback on some maps and even for the APR ones as well. Btw, 6 more days left for the APR Summer sales! Also if you go for the VCM Friday night TT, you can test out a lot of cars there This post has been edited by Mavik: Jul 27 2011, 11:43 PM |

QUOTE(bearbear @ Jul 27 2011, 11:58 PM) which means the fc is quite good Yeah especially now, a lot of roadblocks and speed traps but since I am on the LDP most of the time, its always jammed up so no need to worry about speed trap. Its when I drive on the MEX thats when I need to din rly get a chance to test the fc, mostly on weekends only...stil resisting the temptation to drive daily cos i think i will end up spending more on saman |

QUOTE(gladfly @ Jul 28 2011, 07:03 PM) Kinda agree. I dont have the FD2, but I have Mazda 3. To me the Mazda handles corners better compared with TSI as the TSI steering feels vague...and there is a slight understeer most ofthe time when you attack corners. But the torque....yum yum sweet...veli nice!! The suspension is also quite soft as well hence after a hard corner the car takes a while to stabilizes itself. |

QUOTE(KiliKulu @ Jul 29 2011, 01:26 AM) After reading the thread for a while, i've decided to get a tsi. Now my next concern will be window tinting, hope u guys can share some experience. Plenty of Golfs have gone for 3M, V-Kool and Huper Optik and Lumar. Most of the authorized dealers have the experience. Don't worry too much about it.I understand some said its hard to find an experience shop to tint a golf (for not breaking the door clip) n some said 3M tinting does not require to take off door panels? Can more 3M supporter confirm? Appreciate ur comments.. Thx |

QUOTE(stalkerrox @ Jul 29 2011, 02:36 PM) do not go for v-kool.. im using it and it sucks... Really? I am on V-kool's Elite and I always compare with my colleague's 3M. Everytime during lunch time we go into each other's car (we both park outside in the open) to see which car is hotter and most of the feedback I got from other colleagues that mine was slightly cooler. But I did my tint at V-kool's main HQ (near the old Rothman roundabout) which they did a fantastic job on it. No scratches and bubbles at all.IR heat reduction is 94% feels like 60+% =.= mine is v-kool elite if not mistaken and do NOT go to tint world.. i had my front windshield tint re-done 5 times!!!! due to scratches and bubbles... until now still got scratch i dont even bother to redo already.. damn fedup |

QUOTE(slime350 @ Jul 31 2011, 09:28 PM) hi everyone...i would like to ask some question regarding warranty and also service price list 1st service is at 15,000km but a lot of people do send their cars in for interval service outside from the official service centers. my model : scirocco tsi 1.4 -going for first service 10k ( price ) ? -i have change my rear plate bulb to white LED ( will it void my warranty ?) -and also from signal day light to LED too pls advice TQ Any change to the car which is other than stock will violate the warranty IF the service center is not good at communicating with VGM for warranty claims. There has been a case where a GTI's radiator was leaking and was denied warranty because he changed the exhaust tips, not the exhaust system but just those cool titanium tips which is just a simple screw on. I just believe there is no such thing as a 100% guarantee that your warranty will not be void its just that it is always based on who handles your case. Otherwise, do like what Yan does, just swap it out before going in for service. QUOTE(Venom_Blue @ Jul 31 2011, 09:48 PM) plug n play stuff shouldn't void the warranty. so, shldn't b much prob. if they dare void our warranties based on such reason, i can guarantee you there'll be too much publicity VW won't wanna go through. A lot of plug and play stuff for VW cars such as the players such as the RCD510 or the RNS510 and yes, and they can consider that a warranty void.hohoho my 2 cents ya QUOTE(Venom_Blue @ Jul 31 2011, 10:29 PM) You can also join the VCM TT session on Friday nights, there are like 30 people there now on average for the TT session and you get to see a whole bunch of VW cars there |
