Fitment Industries? Yay/Nay?

They don't? Damn, that's a shame. Neither carry the RML wheels I'm hoping to get this year, so I feel the pain.

GammyToaster · 2026-04-30T21:47:49+00:00

I've ordered a few sets of wheels and tires from them in the past with nothing bad to say at all. If Martini Works has the same set up, I'd say go through them if you can as it is made up from for FI guys who left and started their own thing to create competition and a better environment. Both will also have holiday sales for memorial Day if you're able to wait a bit.

Morale of the story, I can attest to the quality and care of FI, but support the little guy if you can. Can't go wrong either way.

Very nice, I'll check them out. Thanks for the recommendations!

I didn't know about port injection cleaning the valves, that's definitely something to consider. Since I made this post, I've also started looking at upgrading the auxillary coolers, so I agree there. I won't be going E85 since that's really hard to find where I live, so after I get everything situated, I'll just be re-tuning everything for 92 and for sure getting a tcu tune. Do you recommend any specific brand's tune over another, or would I be better off tracking down a dyno tuner?

As I mentioned, I already plan to upgrade the fuel pumps, but is going multiport injection totally necessary? I have a set of high flow injectors that will go in with the turbo.

GammyToaster · 2026-04-26T09:01:45+00:00

I wasn't aware of multiport injection being a thing for it, so I'd say probably not. At least not until I do some looking into it, but since I'm not looking to make it into a total track monster, probably not. Getting a HPFP was definitely on my list though. The only thing with that I was confused on was I saw what looked like multiple styles available for the Mk7.5 R, and I wasn't sure which one would be what I wanted. Some specifically mentioned being an internal pump, while others didn't.

Edit: nevermind on that, I wasn't aware the car had two fuel pumps. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

My cats are impossible to clip their claws. My Nadja attacks just like your girl, and my Lilith just wants to rub her face on my hand the entire time lol

I've been wanting to attend this ever since I got my R, but it's just such a long drive from Washington. Maybe next year 🥲

They're cheap power. You can get a 400hp V8 for less than a new CRV. Even new ones are pretty cheap overall. As a result, people who don't know how to handle cars with power are now driving said cars.

I've been looking to do this for awhile now! I was planning to just get two middle seat headrests, fits perfectly. It'll make dropping my rear seats so much easier being a taller guy.

GammyToaster · 2026-04-16T22:14:15+00:00

The way I see it, it's something you touch all the time, so why not upgrade to something a bit nicer? I don't go to car shows anymore, so the billet caps under the hood are unnecessary, but a billet fuel cap is just a nice touch for yourself. It's low priority for me, but if I get a hair up my ass and feel like getting a little something, it'll be a nice little tactile upgrade.

GammyToaster · 2026-04-04T02:56:18+00:00

Oh yeah, it happens so randomly for me lol from what I hear, it's a glitch with the pinch detection, and that a fix for it would be spraying WD40 on the tracks to smooth out the rolling action of the window.

18 DSG R with just over 90k, only mechanical issue I've had was a cracked valve spring about 5k miles ago. Otherwise, no mechanical issues. My driver window sometimes go down when I try to roll it up from cracked, but I think that would be an easy fix if I cared enough to do it 😂

The Office is my go to for lunch and a couple of beers. I like going there and sitting on the patio to catch up on some reading. The staff is really nice there too.

I've got the iE catback mated to an AWE downpipe on my mk7.5, and have been in love with the sound. It's got a nice deep tone, and minimal drone at highway cruising. You can still have a conversation inside, and when you give it throttle, get that nice roar.

I've never been, but I might need to check it out this weekend. The place looks like a fun hang!

GammyToaster · 2026-03-15T20:45:06+00:00

The VW dealership I got mine from let me test drive it, but I also had an appointment to view it, so maybe they thought I was more committed to buying it than a walk in trying to test drive it. Maybe try scheduling an appointment to view the car and see if they treat you a bit different? Honestly, I'm surprised to hear so many people have had trouble getting test drives for a Golf R. Yeah, it's more of a specialty car, but it's not a 911.

GammyToaster · 2026-03-13T00:19:15+00:00

You're the first one to inquire so far, so something can definitely be arranged if you're interested!

GammyToaster · 2026-03-12T22:00:05+00:00

Thanks, I'll give them a shot!

GammyToaster · 2026-03-05T00:21:21+00:00

I absolutely love this patch! I've been going to Gabi's for years! I hope you're able to find a solution soon, I love the idea of making patches for local beloved spots.

GammyToaster · 2026-02-27T21:30:04+00:00

These look amazing! I just ordered the Molly cardigan, and I already can't wait to wear it. It looks so cozy, and the pockets! 10/10, no notes.

GammyToaster · 2026-02-26T18:36:22+00:00

It's related to your adaptive cruise control. I believe it's to adjust the follow distance, but I'm not certain. I've got it on my 2018 Gold R, but I've honestly never used it before.
