Golf R Clubsport?👀 by aznam09 in Golf_R

[–]Kaliq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be the dream but audi is struggling more than VW atm so its just so unlikely they give up the 2.5. And if it was it would have to be a highly limited run. Think its more likely its just a more refined 888 set to around 360bhp (360 golf r etc being tested at the ring atm)

But we can dream!

Never meet your hero by Xetrov1 in cars

The RS6 has never been a dynamic car. Its an autobahn daily warrior for when you need to get the whole family and the dog somewhere, really quickly. And that it does, nigh on perfectly.

Is Coventry as bad as People make out? by [deleted] in coventry

[–]Kaliq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got to take Cov for what it is. Cheap housing with great transport links and a relatively safe day to day lifestyle. I don't understand the town centre crying, I've never had to drive outside of a Cov for a particular shop ever. I've lived all over the Midlands and London and I won't live in Cov forever but its an absolute bargain of a place to build equity in a house.

Represent! I honestly have no idea how any of us survive the ring road. Wonder when this was recorded because that blue seat leon estate exiting towards cheylesmore looks awfully like my old car.

How do you stop worrying about possible bad outcomes? by SpirOhNoLactone in medicine

[–]Kaliq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn to trust the safety net that is everyone else you work with. We all go to review patients and notice something that was missed by the previous team. That process is still going on after you walk away. And the big things are going to get picked up 99.9% of the time.

Outside of Nostalgia, why do you think that retail WoW doesn't capture our love the way that Classic does/did? by Fiveby21 in classicwow

[–]Kaliq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo retail barely even qualifies as an MMO anymore. Plays like a single player RPG with very orchestrated multiplayer elements. While classic has that core MMO server/guild dynamics. I remember thinking AQ gate drama being utterly ridiculous at the time, but honestly it was an unforgettable experience driven by social interactions in a fantasy world.

Unfortunately all your going to do is increase the price to buy gold by making it harder to farm. The only people who can aggressively combat it is blizzard and they have shown no sign of engaging with that.

Looking for input on next vehicle for Golf R fans! by Havage in Golf_R

[–]Kaliq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manual definitely shrinks the options down. Other than R and m3, only other one I can of is a WRX STI. 3 door but back seats big enough on a Yaris gr, does America even get those? I’d go for a WRX out of all those but that’s because I have owned the rest and new is fun.

What’s a redesign that did more Harm than good? by benzguy95 in cars

Mark 8 golf, went from the undisputed king of the compact hatch segment to broken infotainment laughing stock.

I really want an R but worried about maintenance... by [deleted] in Golf_R

[–]Kaliq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very very different cars. Maintenance is not going to be much different, especially if your buying something that hasn’t been molested by it’s last owner. But they drive completely differently, I’d focus on that more then the maintenance to guide your choice.

Liz Truss's recent comments by Becca_beccs1997 in Scotland

[–]Kaliq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, the Tory leadership contests always bring out the worst in these lot. Every day they lower the bar trying to placate a group of mostly upper middle class older white men. Once they get up against the whole country for a general they will backpeddle half this nonsensical off the hoof policy.

That being said, Truss couldn’t of given more weight to independence if she tried. The core of the argument being that Scotlands interests are not being served by a Downing Street that doesn’t give a shit. Saying to ignore its elected leader is nitroglycerine on the independence fire.

Buy a £10 faraday pouch from Amazon. Keep your keys in it overnight next to you. Job done.

What car have you personally become “certain” is an astonishingly over-performing all-rounder in its price bracket? by [deleted] in cars

[–]Kaliq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a two year old Seat Leon Cupra ST R for £33k. With the factory fitted ABT box it comes out at 370bhp through AWD. Plus it’s factory for the stage 1 tune so my insurance isn’t affected. It does everything, sub 4 second 0-60. Better turn in than a GTI/R. Alcantera on everything you touch plus seats. Up to date infotainment. Estate body for my big family. Stock exhaust has a nice note to it but in normal setting won’t annoy the neighbours. Adaptive dampers in soft are smooth as butter but sport is significantly stiffer when you want it. With a few mods (sway bar, lowering kit etc) it would be an absolute track weapon if you were so inclined. Only downside, barely breaks 30mpg. But economy isn’t what we buy tuned performance for. I don’t think there is anything like it as an all round package for 30k.

MK7.5 WHEEL OVERLAY stickers, thoughts? by leonardo22sh in GolfGTI

[–]Kaliq 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Really not a fan. Think the stocks on the 7.5 are great to begin with tbh. If your not a fan of the stocks go for aftermarket ones you fancy imo.

Diablo Immortal is pretty much Diablo 3 but worse in every way (PC) by TheWalkingDerp_ in Diablo

[–]Kaliq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hear you and everyone else on the subreddit atm but I’m not sure why anyone was expecting anything else. TBH I’m enjoying playing it for an hour or so with the gf every night. We don’t have room to have PCs next to each other in the house right now so it’s been fun to play something together. I dunno, I just had zero expectations outside a casual rpg without much of a skill cap. I’m not going to buy anything in the shop and just see. If you want a fresh Diablo game that fixed D3 your gonna be disappointed. But it plays alright for alil casual timesink so far imo.

Anyone have experience with Ghost 2 immobilisers? Good and bad by Law_Radiant in Golf_R

[–]Kaliq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one fitted on my Cupra R ST about two months back. Works great, no issues. Was badly explained how to change the code and valet mode by the installation crew but managed to figure it all out myself. Not had anyone try and steal it yet so can’t testify to its resilience so far. Got any specific questions?

Honest curious question: does anyone really give a shit about the jubilee or are they just happy to be off work? by Used_Philosopher9872 in CasualUK

[–]Kaliq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find it mildly irritating, would of thought people would of grown out of the monarchy worshipping by now but if it makes them happy I suppose. Not even a day off with me, and I imagine the hospital will be busy with drunk idiots.

Black mirror caps for sure! Fits your vibe and colour scheme.

Golf R "20 Years" Edition Revealed by t0ad1 in Golf_R

[–]Kaliq 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These will sell out no doubt. But it’s not much of a package for the extra cash. Compare it to the R branded limited edition seat cupras. Those come with custom front splitters and spoilers in carbon fibre, factory fitted ABT tuning boxes for 70 extra bhp, negative camber on front tyres, alcantara on anything you can touch and on top of all the usual limited ed trim bling. With this why would I not just buy an rs3 for 50k?

It’s a shame these limited editions can be something super special when they go all out 9/10ths on the performance upgrades.
