You change a couple of digits in a line of code in the ABS module. Probably wouldn't effect warranty.


Razorlab, post a link please. All the thread for defeats I found are the old one, and they all link to the APR page...lol. Knowing this new info makes me interested in this car again...

 

I believe this is the one. It's been awhile. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...DIY-ESC-defeat

Again, as an FYI, This is for the MK6 Golf R. The current MK7 Golf R USDM version already has the ability to fully turn off ESC.

Also, here is my old build thread for my MK6 Golf R: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/lo...13-golf-r.html

 

so is there a release date on this thing yet? I remember reading something about October in this thread... tried googling, but thats pretty much useless for this

 

Ford says fall 2016.. :/

 

where'd you see that? this is the most info I can find on the Ford site and it says nothing about the RS release date... it has stuff about other ford models in that last paragraph, but just "Availability for the Focus RS will be announced later this year" about the RS. makes me think its even further out then everything else they listed...

At the bottom, before the comments.

It looks like Fall 2016 is for the Ford F150 Raptor.

 

Ep 2: Design and Development

 

Is this one episode per week until the car is launched?

 

lol at the aftermarket FMIC on the crash test car

 

Ah, you are correct.


Maybe it will be sooner than? Ford already has it on the configurator on the website, the raptor isn't.

 

Ford says U.S. delivery will begin spring 2016.

ugh... fords stupid hype train attempts are pissing me off... really you're this close and you can't give us something more specific than a 4 month period of "spring 2016"

 

Dealers get to place orders (based on their initial allocation) on October 12th. Those people who really want to be among the first to take delivery have already been putting down deposits. If anyone in the PNW is looking to get one try Price Ford http://www.priceford.com/ Its a good size Ford dealer on the Olympic Peninsula, its kind of out in BFE so it may not have been cherry picked yet.
