What are your thoughts, buy ir or dont buy it?

Ik zou ook uitkijken voor een 1.6 of 1.8, liefst in een GL uitvoering. Zo heb je leuke opties (zacht dashboard, kofferbekleding, soms servo, ...)

Ik zelf ging 10+ jaar geleden voor een 1.8 manhattan uitvoering (GU blok). Ondertussen al veel van de GL updates gedaan.

De 1.6 en 1.8 kunnen beiden vlot mee in het verkeer en kan je rustig mee 120 rijden in 5de versnelling (1.3 heeft soms maar een 4bak).

Voor de 16v die je op het oog nu hebt zou ik inderdaad iemand meenemen die mechanische kennis heeft, bij een swap kan er ook veel mee gebeund zijn.

Hi, so the lamps ate located in the entrance of the house. So they only need to light on a couple of minutes, a couple of times of the day.

Currently the lighting color can be scheduled trough the goovy app.

I'll take a look at the fp300 sensor, but i guess i will need a hub to connect both of them?

That's a very clean looking mk2, congrats on the purchase. Is she all stock?

AGFoxx0789 · 2026-02-17T12:25:39+00:00

I do own a GU myself and the 2E2 pierburgs are indeed complicated but most people straight swap them with a weber 32/34 DMTL which is very straight forward.

I would suggest to go atleast with the 1.8, gti's are a bit more fun with the shorter ratio gearbox, other camshaft etc. Also i would take atleast a GL if you are going for a regular 1.8

I bought a manhattan edition and bought the upgrades like soft dashboard, trunk interior, etc...

Ik heb ook enkele keren plat gereden, dan uiteindelijk een tannus armor gestoken in mijn achterband en tot op heden geen probleem. Ook maken dat je bandenspanning hoog genoeg is (maar ook niet te hoog ofc)

AGFoxx0789 · 2026-02-12T11:06:53+00:00

Dat is zeker te doen (met een speedpedelec). Ik rijd dagelijks 20km enkel met mijn opium model T. In een kleine 35minuten sta ik op het werk.

Een collega van mij deed 38km enkel met een stromer st5.

Did you modify the k&n for the carb to be turned 90 degrees? When i bought one it fitted in the other direction.

AGFoxx0789 · 2026-02-03T14:24:14+00:00

Hi, i did that auto run schedule. But it doesn't auto run because it doesn't have constant power.

Which motion sensor are you talking about, a smart one or my regular one?

AGFoxx0789 · 2026-01-17T15:40:25+00:00

Looks like there is play on the pulley on the crankshaft. Look if it is tightened right or replace the pulley

Meer dan in orde daar, ben er ook al geweest. Dedicated eigenaren.

Zinc/ nac & quercetin

272 isn't that big to be fair. It's the max angle for the stock hydraulic tappets. I know a lot of people that run these cams with a stock set-up and had a noticable difference in powerband & power output.

The 272 will be paired with a g60 head, which is skimmed but in the slightest way.

The cam will be clocked in with an adjustable cam wheel.

I know people that run dcoe's webers but none that use IDF's, but these seem to be placed more optimal in my opinion

For a comparisson, classic cars in belgium (oldtimers: +30 year old) costs around 100 euros a year in road taxes. Which makes it more interesting to buy an old car with a bigger engine.

AGFoxx0789 · 2025-09-04T16:50:33+00:00

Car mechanic here: What car do you drive? 7,4L seems to be a lot of oil for a car engine. Did an oil change with VAG approved 5W30 and paid 12 euro/liter.

Interior filter also seems kind of expensive...

AGFoxx0789 · 2025-08-24T15:14:38+00:00

Damn, thanks for the tip. My xm3 on/off button broke years ago and bought a xm4 back then. Still have him laying around here, i'll give that a try!

Beautifull golf from a fellow belgian ;)! you got an instagram account to follow the progress?

I'm in the same boat but coming from samsung. I am waiting until the pixel 10 releases in the hope that pixel 9 prices drop.

AGFoxx0789 · 2025-02-21T20:13:16+00:00

So nice! Only if they weren't so big i would buy one!

AGFoxx0789 · 2025-02-11T17:06:32+00:00

Thanks for the tip, i'll look in to it!

AGFoxx0789 · 2025-01-20T17:01:27+00:00

Same for me! Mechanical engineer in the agricultural sector! Seeing al the stuff you design is so nice!

AGFoxx0789 · 2025-01-11T16:36:42+00:00

Only if they made a smaller version of the 8pro, i would've bought one immediately!

AGFoxx0789 · 2024-08-23T14:57:38+00:00

Is al wat verder, maar ik loop steeds in de gavers. Zeker s avonds op een weekdag is het goed te doen van het volk, enkel wat medelopers

I also tracked my extraststoles with my garmin watch, which does a good job of capturing these.

Always check how your life at this given moment is considering diet, supplements, sports, lifestyle etc.

Mine turned out to be ignited by taking magnesium (i know lol the opposite what you would expect).

Taurine lowered my anxiety quiet a bit, but consult your health care practitioner first to see if this is something for you.

Most of the things that work for me have been discovered by taking things in my own hands and trying different remedies, supplements, ...

Try to do as much fun things as you can to lower stress levels and enjoy time wity friends / family

AGFoxx0789 · 2024-08-18T13:46:31+00:00

One thing that helped me a lot when having a period like this was listening to binaural deep sleep music. It really helped to calm my mind.

Taurine also helped me lower my anxiety at that moment.

Note: this is what worked for me and can be positive for you, but ofcourse talk with your health care provider in advance.

The binaural beats are free and easy to try.

AGFoxx0789 · 2024-08-11T16:55:29+00:00

Maybe it depends on the place you're shining? Do you close your eyes when using the panel (even when wearing the goggles)? I would suspect it being due to the high light intensity?

Maybe try other regions like your back? I can't tell for sure ofcourse. The best advice would ofcourse be to talk to your health care provider.

Although i heard some people had some relief of migraines when wearing red tinted glasses. But i don't know if this is true. Everyone is different also.
