QUOTE (wolfman101 @ Nov 29 2009, 04:08 PM)  32 MKV, I think he's talking to you!  Seriously though, the 32 makes quite an interesting sound when it goes balls out, Thursday was the first time I got to hear it. Higher pitched than I'd expected. lol not me, the AWD doesn't let me skid.. it only launches  yeah it is a high raspy sound, i'll get an exhaust put on soon. it deepens it a bit and makes it sound a whole lot better. even though the stock one sounds awesome anyway. LOVED that supercharger whine, sounded like a jet!

Personally I'd stick with that one unless you'll get a good deal more power out of it. I think a high, raspy sound is more attractive than a deep farty one-you don't hear many genuine "performance" cars that sound like a Milo tin Silvia! |

thats awesome, i like the whine, as long as it's mated with a good exhaust note. |

That's not too bad. Still has a sound of efficiency to it. |

QUOTE (wolfman101 @ Nov 29 2009, 09:29 PM) ummmmm 100 bhp from an exhaust?  lol i thought you ment a supercharger. umm exhaust i wouldn't think it would be all that big, but extractors would be best then paired with the catback. like all N/A car exhaust it just "mainly" for sound untill you do a few more supporting mods. |

I wouldn't. Like we talked about on Thurs, yes, it'd be comical, but I just don't think it's the right kind of car to start making crazy. If you add 100+ more hp to the golf chassis, you're going to have to start doing some crazy and expensive mods to keep the rest of the car up with it, not to mention safe. |

If you add 100+ more hp to the golf chassis, you're going to have to start doing some crazy and expensive mods to keep the rest of the car up with it, not to mention safe. Just my opinion, of course. yeah, i see your point. and as for the 100hp+ more won't handle it. they handle it quiet well, theres a daily driven 550HP twin turbo one in sydney with no problems and a fair few in europe getting around with big HP numbers, hell there's even a MK3 with 900HP lol... so i don't see why 350-400hp would hurt. but yes i think where the car shine's is no where near in true HP but more in the handleing side of things witch is where i should focus. |

That extra power wouldnt be much of an issue I reckon. Unless you're tracking it where you're constantly driving it hard. Day to day driving without much strain on the car shouldnt affect it at all IMO. Think about it, you probably wouldnt see that 300 or 400hp until the rpm is reached anyway so unless you're thrashing it, I dont see any issue with that. |

But having said that, with any modifications, be prepared for something else to fail. 100% correct. but i wont be going FI untill afew more years but just do a few things here and there in the meantime. plans are ( intake,exhaust,extractors,tune,coilovers,swaybars,lightweight rims,brakes) and then when i feel the need maybe either get somthing else or boost it and have some epic fun. |

You missed brakes on that list, in anticipation of them having to haul you down from higher speeds more often. |

QUOTE (Strudel @ Nov 27 2009, 11:14 AM) Not too bad but not really a lot of imports though. Maybe the evo/supra/skyline club can make an appearance on a common night. That'll be great. Chicken Parm was good as usual. HATE TAX: Didnt realise your tires are THAT thin. What size are they? 235/30 R20s Front and 245/30 R20s Rear. And whats the go, Thought every second thursday was 'Anything other' Then muscle, Commos, Falcons Etc??? |

That was my first chance to check out your interior...as I said on Thurs, very nice sir. and 12.9x is very respectable for that HP. I'm sure you'll whittle it down further. Just take a big dump before you hit the track, maybe. It's a damn shame I'll be out of the country next time:( I was gonna bring the Brabby along, and risk ridicule.  cheers man, it says 280rwhp in my sig, but ive put a bigger stall convertor in it, so its making 225rwhp now, hp figure sounds crap, but ah well still enough to run 12's which is all that matters lol ill have to remember to do that, or i could rip out the 100+kg boot install
