Turbos.
I think it is more of a liability thing from VW to 'ban' use of harnesses; as we've seen on here, a lot of people fit harnesses incorrectly, which is potentially lethal.
I treated the car to a protection detail on Friday. As i've mentioned before, i park on the street now which has massive overhanging trees so wanted it sealed ASAP. Unfortunately it was a miserable day so didn't get much in the way of pictures, but i was really happy with the results. It looked cleaner than when i picked it up, and got a lot of nice comments over the weekend.
It is now run in (i largely ignored the running in phase, tbh) and generally all is ok. The front window seals are a bit noisy, and i have heard a couple of graunches from upshifts. It is an interesting problem as both times it seems to have happened after i've been hooning it, when i've then immediately gone back to sedate driving. Its almost like it got confused with requiring an immediate upshift, but then noticed it should be more relaxed...and gets confused in the process! Anyway, i am going to get these checked out then my next plan is to get her a downpipe and map. It feels quick in isolation but dog slow compared to the 997T!
Also snapped this, bit of a rarity i imagine!

The 997T is brutal. Put my heart in my mouth when accelerating so not surprised the R feels a bit slower. Stunning machine.
I'm guessing UF were close by? What sealant did they use? I'd have been looking at a ceramic sealant due to the tree sap and possible bird etching.

Pre-facelift Aero 8. Nice!
R looks tasty, great colour for them.

Ultimate Finish just sell products (at Brands Hatch), it was Rob at Supercar Detailing who actually did the work. Not entirely sure what he used, but i have a print out in the glovebox so will post back tonight with what it is!
Best thing about the Morgan was the mag centre locks, hilarious choice for a Morgan! Really needed the Mini lights opposed to the cross-eyed Beetle ones.

This one ^ (someday)
Can you give me the details of getting the car a protection detail?
Our scirocco has been to the menders once and is due to go again soon!
Air temperature sensor broke after 1000 miles and a sign blew off the wall in a petrol station and dented the door..
I cant stop myself getting very annoyed by the DSG box, if you want just a little bit of poke to get out on to a roundabout it just skips through the gears and stops you getting any power. In a manual you just have ultimate control and having had the scirocco full time for a month now (dad has been on holiday) I keep finding myself craving a manual gear box.

Put the DSG in manual mode. Mental.
Sport button?

Whichever has fuel
Advises people like Jimmy Carr about money iirc.
I thought that about the dsg when it first came out mate, but enough miles in the car and you learn to drive around it, i find applying throttle a split second before you woild in a manual seems to work.
Turbos.
As said, you have the option to put it in manual and also sport will avoid it changing up early. It is funny when you're wondering why it isn't moving and you look down and it is in 6th already! I have learnt to deal with it, i will manually downchange for a roundabout so it waits for me to upchange as i exit.
Agreed.

LOL. Spot on.
He also doesn't take steroids or go to the Gym 7 nights a week, hence no Gtr.
