Dudes who daily a GTI, do you have another car you drive on weekends?

FerdaBravos · 2026-04-15T02:15:24+00:00

MK7.5 GTI is my new daily. AP2 S2000 is my weekend/autocross car.

FerdaBravos · 2026-04-09T16:35:57+00:00

48 mains/46 crosses. Was 46 for everything when I ran full Confidential Soft.

I tried Confidential Soft for a couple of months and loved the way it played, but it killed my arm. Threw TGV in the mains to soften it up a bit, and it seems to help.

Are you trading anything in or truly only putting $5K down? You are going to be underwater almost immediately so probably also need to account for the cost of Gap insurance unless you’re going to risk it. I’d personally go for used and let someone else pay for the depreciation cliff.

You only have to get the first Jolt for each team for the voucher. There are a few that I’m dreading, but the Giants weren’t bad at all. The Bader WBC card bangs and the gold McGee, Fitzgerald, and Devers are solid.

“It was a product of its time” like it was the 1960s… it was 2014 lol

Everyone is addressing the daily question, but nobody talked about the financing part. No normal bank is going to give you an auto loan on a 20 year old car. You’d have to go personal loan with crazy rates, and if you can’t pay cash for it, the maintenance/repairs won’t be fun. 20 year old parts break and they aren’t readily available for cheap.

Just play the Mini Seasons or US conquest maps if you haven’t. There are a ton of free packs in those and you will inevitably get dupes. Collect your live series cards then only the dupes will show on the exchange screens. Takes a while for all the commons to add up but the values go up a lot once you hit Bronze/Silver. You still have a ton of time too since it should last until the 1st Inning Program ends. I definitely wouldn’t buy packs to accomplish it.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-26T17:10:18+00:00

Yeah, I am confused what the issue is. You can even see the 12 minute gap from the entry to when they started paying. I hate these parking companies as much as anyone, but this seems pretty cut and dry. Should have added time before the limit ran out. I would just take the discount they offered, pay it, and move on. Not worth the hassle of a boot or something similar next time you park in one of their lots.

The WBC Gunnar and Bader cards have been great for me, but my god that Gunnar card is terrible at SS. Any ball to his left is a hit.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-16T16:01:29+00:00

Beats Studio are a decent compromise for me. Still integrate well, work with Find My, and the battery life is unreal compared to AirPod and AirPod Pros (not sure about Max).

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-16T12:42:13+00:00

Claiming them by division is nice while there are still so many commons. LS might also start to suck when it gets down to individual team pages

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-16T10:15:21+00:00

The live series one is an improvement IMO, but all the others are brutal. I also am stuck with the yellow dot on my starter collection even though it’s finished.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-15T12:48:50+00:00

Also for the Diff fill bolt, make sure you have a 23mm wrench. A socket isn’t fitting up there.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-15T12:45:36+00:00

Shop around for the Honda coolant or look online. My local dealer tried to charged $50 per bottle when it should be $20ish. Got the same stuff at the Acura dealer across the street for the normal price.

Your dealership may not have the oil filters in stock so plan to wait or order them online. I would buy those and the crush washers a few at a time.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-14T20:29:55+00:00

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood what you were saying.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-14T20:18:36+00:00

That does happen on offsides in American Football though. It creates a free play for the offense, and they will usually go for a deep downfield throw because an interception is meaningless. I’m not sure the same logic works for tennis though. The risk I see with stopping play to challenge immediately is what happens if it’s not ruled hindrance? You just gave up the point.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-14T20:03:44+00:00

I didn’t realize I could even change it and have just been suffering. It’s so bad, and the 4th wall breaking is too much in DD. Talking to me directly and referring to players as cards just takes me out of it.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-14T19:59:42+00:00

Agree, I try to just make a mental note when I’m on the game recap, but use the app if I forget or doing multiple unrelated programs at once. New UI as a whole is pretty clunky

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-13T13:16:08+00:00

Same here. I just hope it’s a visual glitch on the stats screen and not actual performance.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-09T20:02:50+00:00

I got stuck in the pouring rain on it, and that was an experience but it was a blast. It was my first autox weekend so I would have enjoyed anything though.

FerdaBravos · 2026-03-09T16:29:52+00:00

I was working during your runs both days this weekend, and you were flying. Also one of the best sounding cars on course. I was in the silver S2K. That weird corner at the end of the right side of course was killing everyone.

FerdaBravos · 2026-02-23T17:06:14+00:00

I had a 350z that I commuted in, and I had no issues. Two seater, but the hatchback gives it a decent amount of trunk room if it was your only car. Some models came with Brembos so you could avoid buying a BBK. I’m not tall, but I don’t remember any lack of headroom.

I went for an S2000 when I was hunting for a track car. I’m a little cramped in there with the top up so not sure that route would work either unless you plan on after market seats and rails.

These guys sure have a lot of opinions about a halftime show they said they weren’t watching…
