Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
rex:
Over the past weekend I had no time to spend improving the car because I was on a road trip :pomppomp:.
Along with two of my friends I visited the highest two mountain passes in Romania (one of them is the mountain pass that Top Gear visited during their show in Romania).
This was a really nice trip and I enjoyed the scenery, the car and the company.
The cars that my friends came with can be seen in this video:
the bruce you may not be able to see this video because it seems to be blocked in Germany...
One friend had a 335i with BMW Performance package (a previous mk5 GTI owner that he sold a day before the trip). I got the chance to drive this car and it is nothing like my car :driver:
Fuscobal was driving his Polo GTI (his Golf GTI is being serviced).
A few photos:
And one small update... I decided to have the valves checked (and cleaned/replaced) so tomorrow I will pay my mechanic a visit. Hope all goes well...
Any comments are, as always, welcomed!
:drinking:

And the video with the Tranfagarasanul climb (the one pictured in Top Gear):

Hurdy... if the compression ratio is the same why do you have 12 bar compression pressure?

Just spotted this Rex :ashamed:
My compression test came out at 170-175psi, which is just over 12 bar. i don't know why it was so high unless it included atmospheric pressure on top?? Even then it is still 1 bar over pressure!.

I wonder which song is not allowed in Germany? Michael Jackson - Speed Demon?

That is strange... Once I have the engine back on I will redo the compression test to see the results...
