A bit out of the blue.

Quote:

Casey Stoner has announced he will retire from MotoGP at the end of the 2012 season.

The news comes after the the Australian, a two-time MotoGP champion, had denied speculation about his exit from the sport in the previous race.

He confirmed at Le Mans on Thursday however, that this will be his last season in MotoGP.

"After a long time thinking, a lot of time talking with my family and my wife, this has been coming for a couple of years now but at the end of this 2012 season I will be not racing in the 2013 championship," said Stoner.

"I will be finishing my career at the end of this season in MotoGP, and go forward in different things in my life.

"After so many years of doing this sport which I love, and which myself and my family made so many sacrifices for, after so many years of trying to get to where we have gotten to at this point, this sport has changed a lot and it has changed to the point where I am not enjoying it. I don't have the passion for it and so at this time it's better if I retire now.

"There are a lot of things that have disappointed me, and also a lot of things I have loved about this sport, but unfortunately the balance has gone in the wrong direction. And so, basically, we won't be continuing any more.

"It would be nice if I could say I would stay one more year, but then where does it stop? So we decided to finish everything as we are now."

In the previous race, the Australian had said speculation about his exit was unfounded.

"Everyone seems quite good at stories and making them up," said Stoner at Estoril earlier this month. "I've said many times in the past that my career's not going to go on much longer, I'm not going to keep going and riding until I'm in my 30s and things like this.

"For me at the moment, I haven't decided what I'm going to be doing, and certainly no one else is going to know what I'm doing."

The 26-year-old from New South Wales had made his MotoGP debut in 2006, after finishing runner-up in the 250cc championship the previous year.

He moved to Ducati in 2007, taking the title with 10 wins, before switching to Honda at the start of the 2011 season. Stoner won his second championship last year, also with 10 victories.

Stoner has scored a total of 35 wins in the top category.

He is currently leading the championship after having won two of the first three races.

From TopGear.com

Contrary to first impressions, this isn't a facelifted Audi, but an all-new one. Other than the gearbox, there's hardly any part bigger than a nut or bolt that hasn't be entirely renewed.
Let your eyes run across it for longer and the newness becomes apparent. This is the third generation since the 1996 original. In that time the A3 has progressed from a rounded, chubby puppy to something a whole lot sharper and more thrusting.

That's nothing compared with what's gone on underneath. Every engine is pretty well entirely new. So's the suspension, the whole body structure, the electronics, the seats, and all the supporting systems like the air-con. It's very, very rare that any manufacturer turns out something that carries over so little from any existing car.

It's so new because it's the first car to use the VW Group's new modular transverse-engine components set (or MQB). This astonishingly versatile kit of parts will be available with a huge range of engines, suspensions, wheelbases, tracks and so on. It'll make everything from the next-gen superminis to the Passat, Audi TT and various crossovers.

This isn't old-school ‘platform sharing' because such wide variations are possible between the different models. That's the cleverness of the MQB, and the reason it had to use no existing parts.

In all, VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda will eventually be churning out about 10 million cars a year using the MQB jigsaw. Think about that. Ten million. Every year. That's a car every three seconds.

But what really matters to you and me isn't this industrial angle for its own sake. It's how it affects the cars themselves. Firstly, developing each individual model costs less. And second, buying in such unimaginable bulk drives the price down.

For Audi, that money is spent elsewhere in the car. For instance, the new A3 has aluminium front wings and bonnet, and a cast aluminium front subframe. Even the centre armrest bracket is cast magnesium. These expensive lightweight parts are expensive but help make the car better to drive.

And they've thrown money at the interior too. The new A3 has absolutely gorgeous quality in its materials and touch-points. It feels solid in here. Heavy, even.

But because it's been engineered from the ground up to use lightweight parts - especially in the nose of the car - it feels the very opposite of heavy when you drive. It moves with a nimbleness the old A3 never had. You can punch the front end into a corner and it hardly understeers.

In, through and out of a bend, the handling is light-footed and playful in a way that no mainstream Audi has never managed. There's even some feedback from the steering. The damping could impose a bit more discipline on long-amplitude body movements, but we were on the softest of the three available suspension options. There's also a magnetic ride option, which is probably the answer. I haven't tested it on this car but it does a great job on other Audis.

And the ride's decently supple too. There's hardly a trace of the stiff-legged wooden jiggle that you suffered in the old A3.

The top engine for the moment is a sweet-natured 1.8 TFSi petrol with 180bhp. The turbo makes it punchy and keen all the way through the rev range. They claim it'll get to 62mph in 7.2 seconds.

But the one most people will buy is the 2.0 TDI with 150bhp. Again it's an all-new engine, and the quietness is pretty astonishing. It chortles away gently at urban speeds, hums nicely as you accelerate round the dial to 5000rpm, and disappears almost entirely at a cruise. Nothing wrong with its delivery or freedom to rev, either.

For people paying car tax - that's most A3 buyers - the critical figure for this engine is 106g/km.

Less weight doesn't only help the handling, then, but the performance and economy too. A new A3 is at least 100kg lighter than an equivalent BMW 1-series, although to be fair an Alfa Giulietta runs it close.

A3s always had the best interior quality in the class, and they always had efficient engines. But as a car to drive, this is the first time ever that an A3 has ever really been competitive with the best rivals.

I have a chance of buying a set of RS2 Brembo Brakes at a good price.
I was wondering what do i have to do to make them work?
1. Probably i have to make custom carriers?
2. Considering they are 323x30 size rotors just like the Brembo GT Kit or LCR brakes(323x28 from what I remember), will they work ok with my master cylinder?
3. Is it worth the trouble? My car will have around 230-240bhp when i'll finish with her.
4. Will the car be unbalanced? Do i have to change the rear brakes as well?

Theres a lot of wooshing noises, and wastegate chatter, but no sign of malfunction.

However i have noticed the alloy turbo intake pipe it held on by two 10mm bolts and they had rubber grommets, but although bolts are tight it flexes a lot. maybe the fleexing causing the pipes to leak on the intake side? Also theres a senser comeing off this pipe, and running to the top of the crank case, the senser isnt plugged in, whats it for and where will i find the wiring?

No ecu codes so nothing major i hope!

Next, the aircon does not blow cold, just a regas i hope, but are there any other common faults?

The boot doesnt seem to release from outside unless i use the key, most annoying, again any common fault?

The car has no cruise control, and no trip computer, can somebody point me to the trip computer how to if there is one please?! May have to wait a while as the cars only done 70k miles so a lower milage clocks going to be tough to find i imagine.

No front driving lights, not sure if i want to add them yet, but is it a simple DIY? Is the loom in the car etc?

Lastly, the front mount for the engine cover isnt on the car, any piccys of where it should be and a part number as the cover rattles a little!

I think thats all for now, ive already fixed the centre arm rest locked in the up position!!

Thanks, Tom.

Little update!
The boot switch had corroded and was shorting, found the boot open this morning after i unlocked the car, and heard the solanoid moving now and then. ive managed to operate the boot now by removing the iffy plug wire and leaving the good one in place till i find a breaking car to raid (visiting a audi breaker 5 miles away on monday am, didnt know he was there till last night!)

The sensor on the intake pipe is a blank so nothing to worry about.

Aircon failed to hold a vacuum, so kwikfit sent me on my way not charging a penny! Mobile guy is comeing out to check it out on monday evening. He suggested its likely to be the condensor based on common faults on these cars! ]]> 8L TDiTom http://vagoc.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=11096 Brakes http://vagoc.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=11095&goto=newpost Thu, 10 May 2012 14:46:12 GMT Hi guys, I've seen various bits and pieces about the forum on this, but searching for "brakes" does bring up about a million posts so apologies if this has been done to death.

I have a S2+ TTS with RS 4-pot fronts, stock discs, Pagid RS29s and Castrol SRF fluid. On stock pads and fluid was getting fade quite quickly on track, but upgrading those components seems to have helped massively and I'm quite happy with the current setup. I just wondered what anyone would recommend as a good replacement disc, read various things about stock discs not being directional and have noticed one side seems to get much hotter than the other.

Also, are the OEM brake cooling ducts worthwhile or a waste of time?

Many thanks

Hi,

I recently bought a BSR PPC remap (Volkswagen Golf 1.4TSI 140Hp 2007-2010 Steg 1 - Tuningkit, chiptuning, tuning) for my Golf and I'm very pleased with the output. Very strong at mid and higher revs and moderately "torquier" at low revs. Also like the fact that I can reverse it to stock and read out error codes. So far so good..

The need for better cooling and (for that matter more air) is evident now. After a couple of "attacks" the 'lil engine gets hot and loses temper :D

I've seen a couple of intercooler options on this site (for the Polo's and Skoda's) which you guys seem to rate highly and I know of the Forge Twintercooler. I've had Forge intercoolers in the past, and in my opinion, they deliver like they should but cost to much.

I don't like the fact that you have to cut the front bumper in pieces in order to fit an intercooler (or maybe lose the foglights etc).

What I'm looking for is a small(ish) and effective cooler that's designed to fit the Golf mkV Tsi..

Have any of you heard of something like that.. can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.. ]]> 1.4 TSI Tuning Dionysus http://vagoc.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=11093
