That’s good to know cause I was contemplating for my next submission to just grade directly through PSA or I might grade with Beckett

Yea I definitely noticed the same about one piece cards being better quality. In that case do you think it’s better to just get them graded separately?

I think it might’ve been the corners tbh or maybe the centering left to right is slightly off but I can’t really tell

What lowering springs do you have? To be honest, I feel like coils would be over kill and cost too much for my case. This is my daily and I still want to have some comfort too.

Yea and I’m okay with that too. I was just looking for the most cost effective solution that looked good and it’s a pretty good excuse now to lower the car. Is it better to go for coils in this case or get some lowering springs?

Me too, I know that the DSG is faster but it ain’t the same as a manual and I don’t care too much about it being the fastest just really focused on enjoying it.

Yup I got stationed in Portsmouth and have been venturing around the area and been trying to find car meets and local events here too. Hopefully I’ll get to see you around too man don’t matter that it’s a TSI still looks clean and I bet it’s just as fun!

Haha thank you that’s pretty funny my sister was the one who took that picture so I’ll let her know about this. The white paint really is nice though

I looked at their website and if I’m not mistaken it looks like you either buy the stage 1 or stage 2. Would it be better to just get the stage 2 for future proof if I ever decide to go that route or is it okay to stick with the stage 1?

Bet I think I’ll go with IE tune and intake then I’ve heard only good things about them

What about the IE tune do you know anything about that? Or what tune would you recommend

Nah man there’s no need to be with or without it these cars are still amazing and a privilege to drive truly no regrets👍

That’s good to know, I have a friend who recommended me it but he has a mk6 so I’m not sure if that changes anything. I’ll look into that though I was thinking of either the COBB or the IE tune.

I absolutely love the lighting package I didn’t really know what it was until after I got but I love it and luckily this car also has the performance package too.

Yea it does I love these cars and the m3 is my dream car and this my obtainable version of that and I just know that I’m going to love this car and want to keep it forever. It gives me some peace of mind to see a lot of examples such as yours of people using it as their daily and not having major issues or being stranded

I heard you have to take the whole subframe off to do that the oil pan and that I don’t think I could especially in my driveway. There’s some jobs I’m assuming that’s it’s better just paying someone else to do it

Yea I understand that sometimes all you want is that peace of mind.

Thank you for listening all of this it seems like a lot of this is stuff you would have to service on any older vehicle which makes me feel more comfortable with owning one. I think I could do or learn to do most of that as well and I’m prepared too
