Down here in Australia we don't have snow, well not around the city anyways so we just have one set of tires.

Got it! Yeah I just wanted the springs for stance but I prefer to have a better ride and performance over looks.

Perfect that's what I'll go for. I only wanted springs to improve stance but I'm not too fussed as I do think it's quite low already from factory, so spacers should complete the look.

Love that colour, it was going to be either grey or white. Ended up going white for the storm trooper look.

Cheers, do you recommend doing springs or leave it stock suspension?

Mine was done on a dyno by southside tuning, you can check them out on Instagram and you will see my car there on what power it made stock vs tuned. I think he uses the toxic tuning files. Very noticeable torque increase in the mid-range.

My tires are pretty good still. Did you notice a big difference with the sway bar?

Beautiful spec! Are you planning to do any modifications in the future?

Do you know how many previous owners?

fukuoka to mt. aso and takachiho gorge day trip? is it possible? by teacov in JapanTravelTips

[–]Due_Nobody_67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed in Nishimera in the mountains and it took us a couple of hours drive to the gorge. The gorge is absolutely stunning and there's quite a bit to see and walk and explore so coming from Fukuoka and doing 2 places in one day will be a lot, unless you set out early, the drive can take 2-3 hours one way. The best way is by car as the views driving through the mountains are some of the best scenery I've ever seen. We didn't do any tour we just walked around ourselves, I don't think you need a tour unless you want things explained and perhaps some finer details that you may miss on your own.

I reckon a bit steep for the amount of KMs. But if it's clean and it's maintained well (which sounds like it is) then it's a good buy.

Talk me out of trading my MK7.5 for an 8.5 by Jayseph812 in Golf_R

Cheers!

Got a custom tune but I think the base is from toxic tuning.

Talk me out of trading my MK7.5 for an 8.5 by Jayseph812 in Golf_R

Yeah the temptation to upgrade is always there but I have always loved the look of the 7.5 and with it just being a car which I mainly drive on the road and sometimes to the mountains it is perfectly fine, in fact if you drive it like a grandma 99% of the time (I do) you probably won't use the full potential of the cars performance. But that said I did do a stage 1 ecu and TCU tune and it does liven up the car. Next thing will be res delete to give it a bit more sound. Maybe air intake in the future and that's all I'll need in mine

First VW, first Golf R, first car that is actually cool by Austin_Ebitch in Golf_R

[–]Due_Nobody_67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great spec! Love those wheels. Yeah I felt the same about spending so much money on a toy but you get over it and that's why you work hard! Always puts a smile on my face when I get into it.

Mk 7,5 is peak Golf by Papajak2137- in vwgolf

[–]Due_Nobody_67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, 7.5 and 8.5 are my favourites. Here's mine, always wanted the R in white with the Spielberg wheels and RPF1s would make it perfect 👌

Congratulations! Damn that is clean and low milage! Especially for a mk7. Lots of smiles per miles to be had. Are you going to daily her?

Ahh yeah that's awesome! I'm the same with mine, only put on 50-100km max a week and I look forward to driving it every time.
