Ready to race!
Briefly toyed with buying a '16 R today, then talked myself out of it (again). Just not ready for another car payment. But ooooooh I want...
That is all.

Luckily they are still really hard to find (at least the dsg with dap...) That helps me be intelligent.You know you want it Brad. Stop teasing yourself. Lol

I'm just over here trying to resist buying an intake for my mk7 lol
From what I hear, intakes can actually change the power band for the worse on the Mk7s. I personally bought a K&N drop in for like $40 and noticed a pretty good difference in sound and top end pull. I also have my Stage 1 tuner coming tomorrow (Burger Tuning JB1). Looking at around 270 hp and 320 tq at the wheels Hopefully I can make it out to the next meet.
BTW, I have my factory MK7 Wheels up for sale if anyone is interested: http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104592
I literally just want it for the sounds LOL
My last GTI was about power and performance. I just want to enjoy this one the way it is (kinda). I feel like, since I got the DSG this time, I don't really have a desire for tunes or other performance mods. The car is enough for me, as is.
Life's too short to stay stock. Let's see how you feel in a year or so when the itch builds and the miles pile up closer to warranty limits. It's hard to be a purist these days with so much power on tap via a simple 20 min tune and intake/exhaust set up. You drop less than 2K and boom you find yourself in early 2000's 911 territory, only with a sleeper hatchback that handles like an understeering late apex champ and has better reliability. VAG group are holding back on purpose with detuned engines and lower peak boost levels (turbos are so much better build nowadays) so next gen GTIs may roll out with 260+hp stock. Why wait? The aesthetics argument I get. I like the car to look the same as it rolles out of the factory (maybe some springs eventually to close that ugly wheel gap...) but no wings or crazy offset dub wheels for me as I'm well into the third decade. My 0.02$. Wonder what other folks think.
Yep, this coming Saturday (every second Saturday) is our typical meet at BWW on mansell. Hope to see you there!Are you guys meeting up in the upcoming weeks? I need more friends with GTI's
