blogentry-133713-0-93821800-1510298620_thumb.jpgA new Performance Pack for the facelifted U.K. market Golf R has been launched by Volkswagen. It is available to both the DSG and manual versions of the car.

 

blogentry-133713-0-46964900-1510298629_thumb.jpgThe pack includes an upgraded braking system that shaves 2kg off the standard system, a set of larger 19-inch Spielberg alloy wheels and a new tailgate-mounted spoiler.

 

Also included in the Pack is an increase of the hot hatch's top speed to 270km/h, up from 250km/h.

 

blogentry-133713-0-68528000-1510298625_thumb.jpgFor those who want more, they can also specify a new exhaust system that complements the Pack. The new exhaust, produced by Akrapovic, features round tailpipes rather than the stock oval ones and comes with a valve control technology that enhances the exhaust sound. It is also lighter by 7kg as compared to the stock exhaust system.

Latest one in Singapore is 290bhp. Still detuned but at least closer to 300.

Well, latest one was a tad bit, @191 K about 11K over the clearance stock unit at 180K. So price to sell. The 2018 units however is asking for 231K. Thats asking alot for the car

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 1

    It used to be that when a person was visiting China for the first time, the natural choice was Beijing. No better way to learn about a country than a visit to its capital, amirite? Having had their fill of Peking duck and climbed the Great Wall of China, the next places they would likely look at are those on the east coast - Shanghai, Nanjing, perhaps Harbin. In recent times though, the southwestern parts of China have gotten much coverage on social media. Chongqing, the country’s largest c

    Zebras

    On a recent podcast episode, this hilarious nugget of information was brought up: "Zebras have the loudest farts".  What.  I have spent some time Googling this, and I cannot yet definitely verify the accuracy of this statement. But there is some scientific basis to it - zebras are hindgut fermenters, and there's a whole bunch of biology behind it but the important takeaway is that yes, zebras fart plenty. This also explains their 'bum-heavy' shape, similar to cows, horses, el
