Top Gear S17


2dr

Recommended Posts

watched it on streetfire yesterday and I am thinking of getting the bmw 1m as the family car. Awsome car that one will require both wages to afford it. It's pretty awsome I don't miss out on topgear it was one of the things I was worried about when moving over to nz.

Try an Audi RS3, a snip at $100k.

And a lot more family friendly.

Amen to that, the latest Top Gear (UK) mag has a test with new 1M against the RS3, the Audi cracks a 3.8sec 0-60 with launch control!

they still say the 1m is more fun though.

Quite true but you mentioned you wanted a family car.

Have you tried to fit anything living into the rear of a 1-coupe ?

The 1M power train in a 5dr would really put the shizz up Audi.

;D

That Alfa on TG was only a boggo 156, squashing was too good for it !

:D

Problem with the RS3 is they don't make it in manual. Same problem with the RS5. I think for the that reason along I would save myself 40k and get a used RS4 and get STM to fit their supercharger kit which takes power to 560kw

Have you driven a car with a DSG gearbox? I've driven a lot, and I just sold my v7 sti and my new car will have a dsg box. So much faster, smoother and more precise. I cant see myself going back to a manual anytime soon, unless I buy a track car.

Can't speak for other dual-clutchers but DSG is great 99% of the time.

It's one major operational failure is that it doesn't allow full manual control, they will always change up within sniffing distance of the redline.

Other drawbacks; higher maintenance costs, complexity and weight.

On the plus side they are very reliable now, good enough for VW to use them on their Nurburgring 24-hr racers.

My next car will probably have a DSG box too.

guys - is TG S17 free to air? (my thoughts yes)

just be aware of the fine line advertising torrenting free to world material vs advertising downloading illegal material.

If S17 is NOT free to air the links need to be removed. As you were.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
