What are the specifics on the helix system I can vouch for Rex Gorell

After a 5 year hiatus I am once more a proud dub owner!

Sold my 3dr MkV R32 (The Precious) in 2009 on arrival of son No.1.

Bought a Focus XR5 (being a 5dr) :face palm:, as a guy down the street had one with an exhaust that sounded wicked on changing gear. I think he was goading me because the R32 was in the driveway!

Found that FWD and fit & finish were terrible!

Loved the motor but she was thirstier than The Precious (might be a slight touch of rose coloured glasses there).

Sold the Laser and have spent the last 3.5 years in a poverty pack Lancer, which as a 'car guy' was like a kick in the b@lls!

New gig means I get the freedom to choose again and settled yesterday on a Mk7 R demo with leather and driver assist.

Woo woo! It's being trucked up from Melb, so should get it next week!

I can see why the red through the headlights is polarising opinions

Interesting to see the continuation of the red theme with the rim ringz.

Nice plates btw

Welcome to the R club! It's an awesome rig

What happens if someone folds down the rear seat on the left? Does it pull out wiring?

Yes they set the blue off... Thanks

480 watt digital amp sounds great ...but I also have focal splits...

Ordered mine today:

Pure White R- DSG, roof and driver assist. Decided against leather because I loved the Alcantara in the R36....Hope I made the right decision for me. The wait starts....
