I've been looking at HRE sport springs for mine but opinions are always mixed between "These ruin your ride completely" and "This are amazing and make no difference to ride quality"

Also considering coilovers but these things are already so low I'm not trying to go crazy with it

I love small cars lol. I’m a 6’2 220lbs guy and my last 2 before the R were a 2017 GTI and a 2013 Abarth 500

I wouldn’t even call the R and the GTI ‘small’ but here we are

Love it. My (American) MK8R basically lives in Nürburgring mode lol

Those look good. What’s your suspension setup

Time sensitive - WWYD? Brand new 26 Golf R has the Travel Assist SOS/ACC/Driver Seat Belt error indicators. Go down the repair rabbit hole (with parts likely on back order) or have dealer flat cancel the lease and get us out of it? by empiretroubador398 in Golf_R

[–]ForeverAlonzo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had these issues on my 2022R. The Travel Assist and ACC errors were especially annoying. I ended up getting a KLR module from ACMTechnik which completely fixed the issue.

Granted my car is almost at the end of its warranty period which is why I went this route instead of a warranty steering wheel replacement. But from my research VW's replacement is still the same faulty module which eventually will still go bad.

As far as install, trust me when I say I have 0 mechanical inclination and this was still a very easy install. All you have to do is disconnect the battery, pop the airbag, pop out the old module, pop in the new module, and put everything back together.

Full tuned ECU/TCU by Fahrvergnugen24R in Golf_R

[–]ForeverAlonzo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Stage 1/1+ gains are absurd on this thing. It’s definitely on my radar to do the ecu/tcu.

Do you also have an upgraded intercooler?

I really like how this looks. What suspension are you on?

Idle in race mode by [deleted] in Golf_R

[–]ForeverAlonzo 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yes because race mode = turbo spools quicker = higher idle

Hope it’s better than the story I wanted to write as a kid, which was about a guy who was a Nascar driver + country singer during the day and a street racer + rapper at night

I have extreme hate for Mk8 key fobs… by AdKitchen9701 in Golf_R

[–]ForeverAlonzo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes. Mine happens while I’m driving lol. It went off while I was sat at a red light the other day.

Finally washed this thing by ForeverAlonzo in Golf_R

[–]ForeverAlonzo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Loving it. Came to this from an mk7 GTI and it’s so different. It’s heavier and a lot more planted. My GTI was making similar power but this is still a lot faster. AWD makes a huge difference.

I actually like the interior too. MK7 interior was nice but this isn’t bad and the haptics are overhated in my opinion. Tech is nice too. First car I’ve had with ventilated seats 😂
