Hurdy's Golf .:R.

[Hurdy]

A little video/sound clip

Only one deep pop on the overrun from 4krpms, but pops and burbles much better from higher revs on the road.

Took the car out for some snaps as it has just had its winter wax protection done. 











Last three are my favourites.





Particularly the last one. arty B&W.

Cars looks lovely.  I need to get mine somewhere nice for some scenic pics.  Might nip upto Lochness for some.   Ive just dont the Winter Protection on mine today, I was going to wax it, but i went for some Sonax Brilliant Shine Hybrid NPT.  Insane levels of water sheeting and beading!!

I reckon you need to lose the stickers on the door, the colours just dont match the paint IMO.

Loch Ness is a lovely area with some great roads.

The stickers have to stay otherwise I lose 40bhp!

The road down past the loch is epic, but its unmarked police car central.  This whole area is tbh!!

Great pics John. Car looks well smart and nice and clean.

Is that the grounds of your estate? I like your lake you're parked by..

Thought so, been up there a few times, The Beast up Hope is a right playground for the mountain bikes

Liking your transformation of the R.

I'm in the early process of sorting my Edition out. Was considering going stage 2+ with APR's new code when released for my car.....they are still finishing the code off for the Edition 30.

The LOBA kit fitted to your's like a nice package and I suspect it's much cheaper than the APR stage 3 kit.

How much was involved fitting it and what is the rough cost.?

Have you got any links to the dyno plots? I suspect as always with this much oomph 4WD is the way to go as I need all of the hardware for mine yet...ie fuel pump, DP exhaust etc etc.....not cheap but then again 370+ was unheard of a few years ago in a Golf. I was considering a 997 Turbo when at Combe a few weeks ago I had a go in one.....they seriously need to be tied down at the front or a suitable damper set up.....the front was like a cake mixer....wobbling all over the place. The 2 month V12 Vantage was a different story.

I went out in APR's Golf R last year at Combe which is a bit bumpy to say the least...it was so fast into Quarry it seriously needed Aero to hunker it down on track even though it had the VWR suspension set up....we were reaching 145+ terminal speed onto the rise with Keith driving on a damp / dry track....it stopped though. Haldex controller helped as did sticky rubber...lovely bit of kit though. I'm sure your's is similar.
