Treza360's .:R32

[Treza360]

They can't hassle you anyway because its still below the legal maximum when its open.
Ours are actually slightly quieter than normal US and Euro spec as well! We have a special muffler for Australia.

Bloody hell. Shonky US suspension. More radiators = more weight and now quiet exhausts. Is there anything we didn't get shafted on.
Not that it sounds that quiet or bad anyway though.
The standard heated leather seats, cruise control, climatronic and gamma radio system are quite nice also.

only thing we missed out on over here was Cruise control (of which it only takes 30 minutes to install )

Yes, actually...our cars have a lower compression to run on 91 octane...as if anyone would put that ****e in an R32

Also our cars only meet Euro 2 emission standard, but the Euro version is Euro 4 (why did VW Australia do that???)

[ranton-inc]

mmmm its crazy innit!

you also dont have a Check Engine Light on your Clusters that lights up..

freaking weird..

but after being over in Sydney for the Last week im jealous of your ULP prices..

I always thought it was a bit strange seeing that on the door of the fuel filler. Is there anyway we can bump up the compression with a recode or anything or is this part of what the APR chips et al do?

Mate no chip will bump up compression. Compression is set when built. Major engine work req to change this and why would you want to??? And like Graeme says it would be criminal to run 91 or the likes in the R32

True dat. Compression set by pistons (sorta by crank too, but they's be using the same crank).

So the aus model are good or bad? I'm confused

That's what I mean. It was lowered by VW to be able to run 91. I'm never ever going to do this so I was wondering if it was something that can be changed easily to give more power but only allow 95 or higher.
I'm still a relative mechanical newbie...

D3bb4, the mod is bad I think but in the end I don't think we lose out on any power to the Euro spec cars (US has more due to Audi intake I believe).

Low compression would be a bonus when you turbo it!!

new pistons. compression is a mechanical thing, not something software can alter
