Winter mode now!

Had some small things done to the car in the past few weeks:
17" Avignon on Hankook i-cept Evo2 Winters - these BARELY clear the R calipers.
Rear wiper delete
Painted front red grille stripes black
Timing chain tensioner update - Not cheap, but good piece of mind :happyanim:

Her as she sits now

First off welcome! And she look great btw. For catch can maybe look into the ecs catch can, cheaper and Hyde16 is also running it I believe, which was why I decided to go with the ecs one.

I like ECS's design the best in terms of retaining the factory PCV and factory breather tube assembly to the turbo inlet. Their can baffle is a much better design as it will not become blocked when blowby in the can freezes. The only thing I do not like and agree with is the plug which blocks off the front of the PCV, I still run the vacuum line from the front of the PCV to my Audi all-road manifold. The stock PCV is designed to work with vacuum from the intake manifold. Plugging that with any aftermarket catch can block off will elevate crankcase pressures at idle or off throttle if using the stock PCV.

Thanks for the information! Still haven’t decided on a catch can, but I may wait until I get a valve cleaning first before getting a catch can

Awesome, I've looked at RPF1's for the track for awhile, but our options are limited. What'd you end up going with?

I’m currently rubbing right now because my fenders haven’t been rolled and I haven’t dialed in the camber yet
