Benefit of the vnt17(I think!) turbo on the 130 and the 150's. map really well. yours will be quick after a nice remap as well!

i was banging on about the reliability of the mk5s', well today either my alternator or my alternator pulley/tensioner broke (or is breaking) so.. not looking forward to fixing it either. between £150 and £350 depending on whether it's the pulleys/tensioners (= relatively good) or the alternator itself (= shit). or it shat itself because i stupidly left my drivers door on the latch overnight and the alarm/indicators were going on and off for about 12 hours. of course i didn't notice. but the car started first time so i can only cross my fingers over my toes and my wang that it's the problem.

as for your boost leak, do the 130's come with the FMIC or is it just the 150's? either way check around the intercooler as the clips are rubbish, also check around the EGR and where the silicone tube joins into the plastic one as it heads back down under the engine. vw clips on their intercoolers are notoriously bad.

Quote from The Very End :Still it's better bumping a thread than creating an new one.
I'd say the least of two bad things.

I agree.

Quote from Kid222 :Bump in yo face.

How's the development with these two consoles after 3 years?
I was thinking more and more about christmas present for me, as both of them are cheaper now, but cannot decide, if PS3, XBOX 360, or if i should pump some money into my goddamned shitty PC, which i will have to upgrade later again.

1) Which console has better games? Don't care about the genre. Xbox has Forza, PS3 has Uncharted, but after that i'm lost.

2) Do you think these two have long-ish future (2-3 years) or should i perhaps wait for PS4/XBOX9001 development news?

3) PS3 can act as Bluray player, does XBOX have anything to beat PS3 in this?

I have both a 360 and a PS3. I say I have both, my 360 broke (the third one to do so) and the fix hasn't worked so it'll be being sold for parts. My PS3 hasn't ever frozen or crashed..ever.

In terms of actual comparison, well it's like apples to oranges. Both have some good exclusive games, perhaps Xbox live is more populated than the PSN but I've never been in a situation, especially on a larger game such as COD or Driver San Francisco where I've been unable to find a game to play. PSN is also free unlike Xbox but I would probably pay for the extra features that XBL has and also the increased numbers.

Therefore there is no "better" console. Anyone who blindly says "yes <this> is better" is a stupid fanboy, unless you've had both you can't really say.

Making the choice today I would probably say that Xbox 360 (a new black slim 250gb one, not the older style ones) would be abetter overall choice due to a larger market footprint but if you like uncharted (and let me tell you it's the best series i've played period.) then don't be put off buying 2 preowned consoles from ebay rather than 1 or the other new.

Post it up on your build thread on ukmkivs bud, easier to follow there. You're right though youd never have gotten leather and what not for £3300 let alone a 55k car. Good find on your behalf. Presume the genuine milage has been checked at each MOT sort of thing?

LOL. I didn't actually do it, I was like 15 at the time! D;

Thanks for the translation though, I remember it for about a week and then forget but I'll try my best to remember.

Thanks, that's it!!! What's that literal translation? At the time I had a dutch girlfriend and she would say this randomly and I asked her what it meant, and she just pointed at her ass and goes "nibble"

Quote from Bawbag :Really fond of golfs, was gunna get a MK5 TDI but really, i'm looking at around 4k for one with 120+k miles and it's not gunna be the top spec one.

At least with this MK4, it's like new and proper nice inside, will get pics up soon.

Nice little remap too, hey then it will beat skylines and imprezas.....

without looking i found several 1.9 se's (which have auto lights, auto wipers, cruise control and air con, some come with the awesome stereo like mine hehe :nod for £3500-£4000 and with between 80k and 120k. you can buy a 2.0tdi golf for as little as £4500 but would personally pay more from a vw dealer as early cars (before 07) get the old porous block problem and the protection of a vw warranty in that situation can be very cost effective.

My 1.9 has hit 117500 these last few days (i had it from 99k) and it's going as strong as ever. only thing that's gone with with it has been the dmf (no thanks to my remap, smf and uprated clutch fitted and all is well, and the fuel temperature sensor, replaced for £20 and job done) - engine pulls very well (beat a corsa vxr to 70 lol ) and as you probably know from ukmkivs you can tune these pd105 lumps quite well, mines only stage 1 and got 150 brake! if anything goes it'll be the turbo which in engine terms isn't that major, new hybridised units can be had for about £750 exchange. trust me a 120k mk5 will last you a lifetime so long as it's not crashed and had a full service history, on time with PD rated oil!!!! better to drive and a nicer interior, more reliable, and parts are actually a little bit cheaper

Quote from tristancliffe :So?

So nothing.

Quote :99% of people might have been, but the devs wouldn't have been, and they are in charge. Tough luck.

Again, so?

Quote :Maybe they do have other jobs or other projects. Maybe LFS will become one of those sims that's developed after hours as a bit of a hobby. Maybe that will be the key to it's success or the reason for it's downfall. Conjecture, with no right answers yet.

Because the userbase does not know what is going on with a project in which they invested (bought a license) and what to play.
Quote :The devs used to communicate a lot. Then LFS got popular and they started getting a lot of flak from doing what they'd always done. Rather than fight fire with fire, they put up a wall and stayed behind it. Can't say I blame them. Your post won't help that.

They've never really communicated, certainly not in the 4 or 5 years that I've been around these parts; they would post more frequently but they've never said "ok so we're working <this> but had <this> problem and it would take about <this> long to fix or that they've dropped that idea or whatever.

Quote :There is no rule. Anyone can interact with customers how they please. You don't like the current way the devs are working because it doesn't suit YOU. They don't have to tell anyone about delays, progress or future plans. When they do, it gets mocked or blown out of all proportion.

There's no rules - but* working in the public sector I know there's ways you need to interact with your customers; and silence is not one. Just look at the meltdown of BBM the other week - RIM didn't say ANYTHING to the customer base for nearly 48 hours. People were fuming. If you're stuck at a trainstation and your train doesn't arrive, you'd want to know it's 2 hours later rather than nothing....

Quote :If S3 never comes, or LFS never gets updated again (both of which I believe to be false) then nobody has really lost anything. It just means that that netKar Pro has less competition as the best simulator out there.

Quote from hp999 :Quite sure they do, otherwise both the Scirocco and Rockingham would be available for a limited amount of time.

Whatever the replacement for the Scirocco will be out before the existing Scirocco is out.

99% of people would have been happy with the 'Rocco at Christmas as promised, even if the physics were not 100% or that the ESP didn't work exactly. My car has the same ESP settings as the Scirocco and it works exactly like any other one, minus wheel angle sensors and that stuff - nothing which a regular TC system like the one in the FZ5 wouldn't have done and in practise, probably an end user wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

People say they are sure the Devs are working hard - are they really? What is their situation; are they actively working on LFS on a 9-5 basis? Do they have other jobs and careers and work on LFS in their spare time? Or are they even doing anything? No updates in a long time, the car promised 2 years ago which was never brought out with nothing more than a "it has been delayed sorry". They made Forza 4 in almost as much time as the last tangible update...

You only have to have a look at the Automotive (or whatever it's called) thread to see how people respond when they are provided updates, when there is interaction between the user base and the development team. It's a very positive thread, unlike the stone-walled silence approach of the LFS devs.

Now if the devs are working on S3 then why hasn't his been told? There's a rule of how you deal with customers, if there are delays and you let them know, a few may be upset but most will understand. If you don't tell anyone anything then people will get pissed off.
