Digital radio gets officially switched on in Perth tomorrow, with the other capital cities following in the next few weeks. The commercial stations start tomorrow with ABC/SBS (hence Triple J) joining in soon. It uses the DAB+ format, not to be confused with DAB that they use in the UK. The...

Oh my god! :drool: Bunnings used to be my favourite shop, but today in my search for velcro attached buffing pads (to attach to a random orbital sander/polisher) I came across this place, which has only just opened... http://www.beyondtools.com/index.php They have every power tool in the...

I just happened to be looking at the Superchips website today & noticed they now have stage 2, 3 & 4 maps available for the Bluefin. I have made enquiries, and stage 2 requires a full exhaust & filter, stage 3 requires larger injectors and bigger turbo, god knows what stage 4 is?! (A car...

This is just for information, I'm not saying this is any better or worse than any other product. I have recently been looking around for reflash options for my wife's new Skoda. I already have Bluefin for the Golf GTI, and am happy with it, but just thought I'd see what else is out there. I...

Anyone interested in going for a relaxed Sunday drive on the 9th of March? :burnrubber: I've sussed out a route on the outskirts of Perth, which should take about 3hrs (looping back to the starting point). A few stops along the way, for photo's, chats, or whatever. If anyone's interested in...

Well, zz2 just left after we installed his torque arm insert. I've noticed a few people on the forum asking how much they should be paying to get one installed. My answer has always been you should do it yourself - because it's soooo simple. Yesterday -mission- said it'd take 20 mins tops, so...

For the last 3 or so weeks (how long it takes to get in to see the dealer) I have been driving around in a very sick GTI. I thought it had some kind of boost leak even though I had visually inspected the diverter valve and it looked fine. The car basically felt like driving a 1.6, worse than a...

A friend of mine has been so impressed with my GTI that he's pretty keen on purchasing a Jetta TFSI. What I want to know is, with the current "no onroad costs" promotion can he expect to get a further discount, or is that the price - take it or leave it? I realise that that's a fairly nice...

:brokenheart: I got back from Thailand the other day, but had a couple of chest pains while I was on the way home. At the time, I just thought it was some reflux, given all the different food I was eating. Anyway, on Wednesday I went to see the GP just in case and next thing I'm on my way to...

Anyone that's interested in coming for a drive on Sunday 7th October, there's a couple of us from this forum going for a scenic trip south of Perth for a couple of hours in the morning. Nothing too organised, just a way to say G'day to each other. The plan is to start central, head south for a...

Some of you may remember, a while back I reported some brake noise & another mysterious knocking sound with my (manual) GTI. I took it in today to have the "brake fix" parts fitted. While I was there I took the foreman for a spin so I could demonstrate the knocking noise to him. Turns out...

Before anybody gets too carried away they are 100% legal in WA, so just wanted to get a few opinions. Of course, for the Eastern states cousins it will be a purely hypothetical discussion based on what you've overheard from some dude at Macca's. From what I hear the Valentine 1 and the...

Hi All I've been on this forum adding unconstructive comments here and there for a while now, but decided it was time to start my own thread about something that's been bugging me for a while... I've had my GTI for about 2 months and 2800km now. In the first week, after about 500km, I started...
