congrats on the R btw. so jealous that you got one =P. I saw one in the parked in macq centre car parking lot today at lunch and thought DAYUM!!

thanks :) the gti and r are practically sister cars, i've always seen them in the same light. i parked at bunnings to pick up some hardware, one of the bunnings staff came out to say "hey nice car man!"

so much for being inconspicuous...

oh and btw, the rcd510 sucks balls... then again i wasn't expecting much of it, and intend to replace it with the pioneer unit sooner rather than later :) in more of a hurry now because my car is a my11.5 which DOESN'T have bluetooth standard!! that telephone button on the steering wheel just stares at me :(

that bad huh?? i didn't get to play around with it during my test drive as the unit was all in German and couldn't set it to English. lol. anyways, will play around with it when I pick up my car. be interesting to see how good/bad it is.

which pioneer head unit are you looking at? the avic z130bt? let me know how you go with the setup.

I'm looking at the AVIC-F9310BT. not a pretty unit, but very functional and gives me both satnav and bluetooth which are things i'm already missing! especially satnav; i took the R on some unknown roads near the dealer and i got lost :(

which is why i'm not big on sat navs in general. old school street directory ftw i say.

either way, as long it has all the features you want in it, all good. are you gonna do the install yourself?

You have a good point, I should prolly learn to navigate without a digital map like the olden days... kept glancing at the air vent today since that's where my satnav usually is!

Definitely going to install myself. I've stripped a car to the shell before so I think I can manage a simple dash thingy :) You're welcome to watch me pull it apart if you want?

Ordered our 118TSI w/- Sports pack on Monday and took delivery today! Urban Gray, manual, front carpet mats, tinted front windows, paint protection, full size Euro Silver plates (ordered). Very happy!

I must have just got lucky with mine. I ordered mid June and will receive early November. That's with pretty much all the boxes ticked bar the motorsport seats and reverse camera (the latter of which I'm sort of regretting spending the extra on and the former I couldn't possible justify the 5k asking price)

Tortugas has hit Fremantle today ... now for the home stretch! :D :banana: :banana:

Well that didn't last long. We've owned the car for less than 3 hours, done 20kms, and the catalytic converter failure light is on. :/

dodgy fuel??
