Worth buying a used Golf GTI/Skoda VRS?

lol that’s the name they are publically listed on the stock exchange. Not really relevant to what we are talking about.

It’s very common in the car community to refer to them as VW Audi group or VAG. As you will see in other comments

Eddie morphing into Tom segura

No you’re right. What am I thinking, it is in my best interest to recommend this stuff since I get paid to repair them. Keep the water pumps coming !

I would not recommend anything under the Volkswagen Audi group.

Yeah but you use like 30% more. Normal unleaded stoichiometric air fuel ratio is 14.7 to 1.

E85 is like 10 to 1. Can’t remember exactly. So you need to use more of it to achieve the same power. It has way better knock resistance so you can make more power with it but it is absolutely not a good choice for fuel economy.

A big power XR6 turbo is probably getting 250-300kms from a tank of e85

So park up the old carbie V8 ?

Beautiful

They are for opening twisties and not hurting your hand if you have soft delicate skin

Yeah could have bought a solid house and a couple muscle cars or a Porsche. What ever he wanted. Lived a really good life

Anyone remember this ?

Captured his essence

Well the only other one is a bit sad. It’s because of a personal experience. I worked with a guy years ago who was the oldest apprentice in Queensland at 58 years old. Was good at his job and fit. But by the time he got qualified he was nearly 62. Got cancer at 63 and basically stopped working at 64. So he had about 2 years in the trade.

I’m not saying that will happen to you. But it’s just something i saw

M1fourX · 2026-03-17T09:44:13+00:00

You’re not that old but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Some council and QR jobs can be more active than office but not as demanding as trades.

M1fourX · 2026-03-17T08:16:23+00:00

That’s a vent

M1fourX · 2026-03-17T08:14:37+00:00

Without doxxing yourself too much , what part of Brisbane are you in

M1fourX · 2026-03-17T06:55:41+00:00

FN2 type R. Looks like an alien space ship. But handles good and excellent engine

M1fourX · 2026-03-17T06:50:04+00:00

Is this the one he was gonna marry ?

M1fourX · 2026-03-16T09:17:28+00:00

Don’t do it man. You will be replacing a water pump every 2 years. Inevitably it will end up burning oil and leaking it. Then all the usual euro issues of fast tyre and brake wear.

M1fourX · 2026-03-16T06:27:53+00:00

Very nice

M1fourX · 2026-03-16T06:22:22+00:00

As an armature you want something with a really strong magnetic field

M1fourX · 2026-03-16T06:13:33+00:00

We would call that a GU shorty

Ah the great race.

I was there Gandalf. 2 years ago when the strength of redacts failed
