Hey all - I bought my Golf R with the intention of it being the fun commuter/occasional autoX & HPDE car. It currently has the all the the typical STG 2 mods: Intercooler, DP, with a EQT OTS tune.
The car has 41k miles on it and I have done my best to take care of it with increased service intervals for oil changes, brake fluid etc.
With all of that said, in my most recent HPDE I noticed I kept feeling this constant anxiety and need to watch my access port like a hawk; which really detracted from the whole experience. It has made me consider maybe finding an alternative platform maybe a bit more purpose built for the road course.
I know you gotta pay to play when it comes to this type of stuff, but do any of you guys deal with any of the same thoughts?
Briefly searching the market for something semi reasonable puts my only options in the pony cars, which seem to have their own unique problems or a Miata, which by no way could function as replacement for my daily needs.
Mods - sorry if this is the wrong place for this post
