Re: What else do you guys/girls drive/own?

I just got myself an old Polo Mk2.... It will be the winter project this winter. I found one with only 2 owners. Last one has had it since -88. It has absolutely NO rust on it and the idea of the project is to lower it to the ground. Remove all lists on the side. Paint the plastic wheel arches white...

Re: A day @ the track (in sweden)

I suspect the all-season P Zero Neros will be nothing but terrible on the track!!! Apart from an upgrade in tires, do you recommend a ...

A day @ the track (in sweden)

Just had my Scirocco at the track for the first time... Obviously I knew that I would like it. What I didn't know was that I actually would loved it. The car is amazingly easy, predictable and neutral. I'm used to drive cars that are understeered and I first thought that the Rocc was oversteering al...

Re: Top Speed...

I sat the speedwarning to 155 (250km/h) and after awhile it said "250km/h exceeded" in the display. Don't know how much faster it could've gone. I had to let off the throttle. I'd love to try again some day since mine doesn't have the stock speedlimiter left after beeing upgraded. Car felt...

Re: RCD510 & SD Card Help

Mine does too every time I start the car... Atleast I think it does. But a minute sounds like a long time. I'd say around 20secs or so. I Use Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 16GB.

Re: How do we turn off the ESP?

That actually pisses me off... :irked:

It's my car. I've bought it, I own it. It shouldn't be up to VW to decide what I can or can not turn off...

I love track days. A big part of them is to get to know the limits and your cars limits. What's there to learn anymore? :shrug:

How do we turn off the ESP?

Does anyone know?

I tried removing the #2 and #4 fuses. They are both for the esp and the abs. The car just died on me and wouldn't start without the fuses in place..

What's the trick? Anyone?
