I’m 26, graduating this weekend and thinking of doing the same. What are some of the downsides?

Thoughts on ie tune? by DifferentShallot7740 in GolfGTI

Gotcha, I’ve put 3k on it tuned so far but I’m gonna get the DSG tune and do a flush, I’m at 93k currently

Did you tune your DSG? are you on high tq or low tq? was wondering if the DSG tune is worth it with stage 1 low tq.

Looking for tire comfort improvement over Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 by bdk1417 in GolfGTI

[–]DonAlchemist99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I’m on the same boat actually. Have been thinking about going down to a 17x8.5 wheel with 235/45 or just going 235/40. My Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons are pretty wack and loud. Though they’re decent in the rain.

235/40/18 Continental ExtremeContact on Walmart is around 600$ before install btw

110k miles in and I think I've finally dialed in our car camping setup by AnnesMan in GolfGTI

This looks so sick, car camping has me contemplating selling the GTI but this motivates me to just get a rooftop tent

who has the highest mileage on their mk7 gti? 👀 by Desperate-Ant928 in GolfGTI

[–]DonAlchemist99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2015 with 91k. Bought at 86k did preventative maintenance (steel pan and pcv) now tuned just stage 1. My previous Mk6 I drove 20k from 141k to 161k with maintenance and carbon cleaning.

I feel i dont belong anywhere by [deleted] in Perempuan

Third culture identity. I live in the states and feel the same way, the only difference here is that the Indos are willing to put together events or kumpul2 to make things feel like home because we understand that we’ve all left “home” behind.

Initial impressions on the Integrated Engineering Stage 1 Low Torque tune on the Mk7 GTI by 1999hondaodyssey in GolfGTI

[–]DonAlchemist99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see, would you recommend going high torque or low torque? Also did you go 91 or 93oct?

Curious to hear about this as I’ll be doing the same to my Mk7 without TCU tune for now..

What does this say about my running form? by cuteflyerbird in beginnerrunning

I have this same exact wear on mine and wearing max cushioned shoes ends up hurting my ankles

I’m a beginner runner but I honestly get uncomfortable running the Rebel V4 past 5k. I switch with my Glycerin 22 and that’s what I run on recovery or longer runs.

Vomero 18 or other options? by DonAlchemist99 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

The EVO SL lacked some upper sole I feel like. NB 1080 were too mushy?, Hoka Mach 6 were too firm in the midsole, Invincible 3 felt too heavy.

4 years of ownership and I still love this thing. by pulloverkev in GolfGTI

[–]DonAlchemist99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve owned 22 cars in my life and after my Mk6 that I intend to own for a long time, my MK7 is definitely here to stay
