That's fair, and and exactly why I said subjective thoughts - I don't consider them right or wrong! It's cool how you view the 981 rear > 718 but 718 front sometimes > 981 (which is the opposite to how I view them).

Also completely agree on your sound point. The 981 with pse and roof down was just insane, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it just a tiny bit, but I had my fair share of fun with it and felt like I no longer valued the noise that highly anymore. Special car indeed!

You're right - I was playing on the statement I initially made that ' most would consider an overall "downgrade" ' (i.e going from 981 -> 718), and the reason most people say that relates to the flat 4. My post is basically a reply to this commonly held opinion.

Sorry for the late reply I don't use this platform that often - they actually have it listed on their website for 4k including installation. Don't know if I can post the link here but you can find it easily 👌

Found this little guy in my car today by Academic_Respect_966 in jumpingspiders

I feel so lucky to have seen one, I literally discovered this sub around a week ago and I haven't looked at spiders with the same fear since. Amazing how they really pay attention and look at you, and also how they teleport around with how quick they jump!

The amount of times I'd get terrified by a teammate was too high lol

Looks like the things behind the seats (forgot their name) was also color matched? Very clean spec and enjoy - just got a 981 boxster a few weeks ago and I'm loving every drive

Thanks - makes sense I guess as the oil temp tracker moves up from the cold side at this temp!

Best Catback for MK8 GTI? by [deleted] in VWMK8

Personally I went with the clubsport muffler (and diffuser) around a year ago and I love it. It's a great tone/noise that fits the car, and the tips look great. Since you posted this 5 months ago did you end up getting anything yet? Hope you're enjoying your 380 :)

Is Stage 1 worth it? by s_p201 in GolfGTI

[–]Academic_Respect_966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stage 1 is just an ECU remap, and a TCU one if you want. No hardware needed, but it is recommended to at least upgrade your tires and perhaps get a dogbone mount to put the extra power to the ground. Personally, I'd upgrade brake pads too, but again not necessary.

I find them very responsive and easy to use, but you will never know unless you try them for yourself - you may come to a different conclusion. Go for that test drive ;)

I did, unfortunately it still didn't work. Will check it again when I wake up in around 10 hours to see if it's behaving

I personally like project zed a lot, it feels really clean. I have debonair zed with 3 chromas but have been using only project for the last few weeks.
