Hi all. The time has come to say bye bye to my lovely R estate. The new purchaser absolutely loves it…..as I did. After carrying out the mods on it and achieving 438 BHP the car was the quickest and most enjoyable one I’ve ever owned. Times have changed and my new location involves travelling about 0.25 miles over rough common land to get to my house …hence the sale. It’s been a pleasure being a member of this club and would like to thank you for your help and support. I have the original suspension, turbo core ,downpipe, exhaust, x2 Scorpion res delete pipes which be for sale at very reasonable costs if anyone is interested. Until then, I shall look enviably at passing R’s.

Have you checked for a small stone or nail in your tyre?

Car is looking good. Half a century tomorrow. Happy birthday!
-
It might be worth posting some photos of under bonnet components. As an example the air intake elbow which runs from the air box to the turbo.

That’s what I call an informative write up. Both good and bad points highlighted for future potential purchaser!👍 -
I had my intercooler changed . No issues at all.
-
Well, to be honest I am stage running 1 Unicorn and car is producing 377BHP. The service is second to none, They have an accurate rolling road, and the car drives brilliantly. I am now going to go stage 2 and will definitely use Unicorn again.

I have Superpro 24mm rear ARB set on low. Also have end links, perfect for my driving style 👍 -
Brilliant. Roll on the vaccine, return to some form of normality, and most of all...clearance for you Mr camelsac2002. Happy new year to you all!
-
Thanks Marshy, I’ll look into it.
-
ToRnado_R Thank you. I’ll get it checked.

My car is a Mk 7R estate 2016 with non electronic suspension. I hit a pothole yesterday and the car seemed ok. Today there is a loud knocking noise over bumps. I think it is the shock absorber so looking to replace it. I have eibach springs to go on the car. Has anybody fitted new shockers that they can recommend? Thank you
-
Yes ARB already fitted. I went for a Superpro 24mm. It certainly tightens the rear end up and seems to improve under steer. Still waiting for springs to be fitted.
-
Mine is cast aluminium in black. Tried to photograph the area I’m talking about but difficult to see clearly so I hope this following description helps.... Open the bonnet, on the battery side of the car, look downwards in front of the radiator and just below the intercooler white plastic location clip you should see large lettering / numbers. If you go onto Progressive Parts website and type in Wagner intercooler you will see the number on the 3rd photo from the left.
-
Unfortunately the springs are still in the garage awaiting fitment so can’t answer you yet. Were due to be fitted on 14th of this month but has been postponed due to COVID. I’ll update you when they’re done.

Had stage 1 with Rick a few months ago. 377 BHP. Perfect . Now planning stage 2 plus littco L380x with him. Discuss your needs with him and enjoy!
-
So, I think it’s time to share. Am I right in thinking a res delete fitted? What else have you had done? Alignment.... why? More to come I think 🤔

Top man!!! I know only too well about the illness that you have dealt with through several experiences within my life. I believe in keeping positivity to a maximum and stress to a minimum is a major factor to recovery. As mentioned in my previous post, I sincerely wish you the very best in life, and put into perspective the significance of a speeding ticket is nothing. Chances are it won’t arrive anyway.👍

Dear Camelsac, in a recent post we agree to disagree about DSG and Manual Gearboxes. I haven’t responded to your comment until now. I know “ you’re Not interested in cutting your changing speeds. And It’s all about involvement for you hence why you have a manual and There is No pleasure, for you, in pressing a button.“ but guess what ..... If I were you I wouldn’t worry about receiving a speeding ticket until it actually happens. Chances are you won’t get one so don’t panic. If it does arrive well sh.t happens. In the meantime try to relax, think about the Bob Marley song .. three little birds, ... “don’t worry about a thing”. I wish you the very best.

Cheers Len.👍

I listened to the more experienced guys on here and went for Rear only. There are many to choose from but I think the main two contenders are 034 Motorsport and Superpro. I went for Superpro 24mm plus Superpro links. There seems to be no difference in ride quality but definitely cuts the understeer.
-
Before deciding which vehicle to get I would seriously consider driving a DSG for while. I have always loved manuals but after owning a r estate with DSG I would not go back. Learn to drive it using the paddles and cut your manual changing speeds in half. Other times just select D, give your knees a rest and dial in whatever speed you wish to do.

Thanks Stobsie. I’ll do that on Monday 👍

Looking forward to some feedback Dave. Coming from you we’ll get an honest opinion on improvements 👍
