@bfury5 Thanks for that perspective, and you are right. I like that my car weighs in under 3,000 pounds even with the DSG. Love the color, and everything about it. Even without an LSD the car has more capability than I can take advantage of right now.
So I’ll start with things that bug me like...
I just want to know who got close enough to Ron’s car to figure that out.
Wonder if he does that to avoid having a rear bar? Did he swap the front and then get rotation by staggering his tire sizes?
I’m with you on this, and fully understand that there is nothing I can do to the car that will make me competitive locally or at Nats. But I do want a car setup so that as I become better it has the potential for me to be as competitive as my ability permits. Putting logic aside some of the mods...
Wow that's what I get for reading without thinking. Usually I save that for how I drive during autocross (mostly kidding).
I'm sure my wife would be up for a trip to Branson, but yeah I totally read what I wanted to see instead of what you wrote. None the less I'll be curious to get the...
Second quote is pretty close to the first one. This was from shop in another city. $3,800-$3,900 seems to be a reasonable cost to purchase and install a Wavetrac.
I think it is an honest quote from a very good shop thatI trust. It isn’t cheap so it comes down to deciding whether the investment is something I want to do. I’ve been split on this and just getting a new GTI-S with the VAQ differential. But I like that my S without PP brakes weighs in under...
Yes. $1,854 in parts, $1,920 in labor for the Wavetrac install. $3,900 total with tax. This a pretty big investment for a single mod that isn't a new engine.
I may need to shop around then because I was quoted $3,800 for a Wavetrac on my 2018-S DSG. Wondering if anyone might have recommendations for a reseller/installer in the Omaha - Kansas City area. I live in Omaha but KC isn’t a bad drive and would be worthwhile for good install by a shop...
I'll probably be making some trips back and forth to Lincoln this winter. Can't keep the GTI as a garage queen forever! :)
So how funky would that huge front sway bar be if alignment is set back to stock?
Same here. After seeing what @xXDavidCXx has done in STH using the larger FSB, I’m all ears and willing to experiment in GS.
I realized now that throwing the biggest rear sway bar I could find at what I perceived as the problem wasn’t the answer. I did that before I even got decent tires, an...
