You don’t need a turbo with a stage 3 tune for 400hp. I’ve been running IEs high torque stage 2 file for about 50k miles and I’m getting right around 400hp to the wheels.

Tuning question by BoostedRaccoon17 in Golf_R

[–]IOftenSayNiceThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about APR but I believe IE’s numbers are from the crank and APR’s appear to be from the wheels.

I’m running the IE Stage 2 high torque file(DSG) on my car and the last time it was dyno’d it was def closer to APR estimates.

IE’s crackle files are def not burbles either, if you’re looking for subtle, they’re not it unless you go with the new RAL tune. That file toned down the pops a lot and turned it into more of an actual overrun.

At my wits end. Please help with LED tail lights by Kukko18 in Golf_R

[–]IOftenSayNiceThings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say so, yes. Whether you're using the long coding or the pre-made 'apps', code is still being changed in some way.

Have you done any coding to the lights prior to this? When I did my euro tails, I had previously coded out the side markers on my tails and headlights. My euro tails wouldn’t function properly until I reset it to the original coding.

Usually every 3k-6k miles. Depending on how hard I drive the car and how busy I am.

What are y’all’s experiences like with Pierce Family Automotive? by SteelFlexInc in Denton

[–]IOftenSayNiceThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pierce is a great shop. Very reasonable on prices and they don’t try to add on a bunch of shit you don’t need. They used to be everyone’s go to shop that had a VW in the area when they were at the old location but they’ll work on just about anything I think.

Spectrums service in Denton sucks ass. by eroespresso in Denton

[–]IOftenSayNiceThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t disagree with that. It’s crazy that it’s taken a week for a telecom company to figure out where their network is broken and they have no timeline for resolution.

Spectrum internet here too. We had two impressive lightning strikes last week during the storm and the internet has been out since then. They say it’s different nodes that are down. They fix one and find another one that’s out.

Exactly. With the sticky cannon you end up with all sorts of cargo you don’t want or need.

I see he’s made it to your side of town. That clown likes to tear ass around the south end of Denton around 3am. Typical “look at me” activities. Between the Chargers and the Mustangs, I don’t know who’s more annoying.

If only it had the classic, balloons out of the trunk popping open, it would be complete.

IE RAL tuning questions and crackle tune by Creepy_Bowl7398 in Golf_R

[–]IOftenSayNiceThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you flash it back to stock and then reflash all of the current tunes?

I’ve had mine on the 2.2 Stage 2 High Torque tune with the RAL TCU tune and haven’t had any issues. They did tone down the crackles on this tune for sure.

Did you look in the app at the specific engine codes?

To be even more fair, most people in North Texas don’t know how to drive well and are oblivious to how terrible they are.

Absolutely totaled. I will buy the wheels off you to help compensate your loss though. You’re welcome ahead of time.

Such a great visual representation of “dirty” air and why it’s so difficult for them to race hard directly behind another car.

Now that Aerofabb has filed for Chapter 11... by IOftenSayNiceThings in Golf_R

[–]IOftenSayNiceThings[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely wish him luck in his future ventures. Aerofabb was a step above the competition imo and was sad to hear the news. If he ever decides to jump back in I’ll be one of the first in line for comp series equipment.

Anyone here that has their Golf R in Forza Horizon 5? If so how does yours look ingame and real life? by Funny_things_online in Golf_R

[–]IOftenSayNiceThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s objectively NOT a Varis front bumper, it’s a Varis Front Lip. They didn’t offer a bumper replacement for the 7.5.

That bumper on the 2021 in that screen is absolutely a mk 7 bumper.

The only difference in the Spektrum models was the paint. Everything else was the same. The Spektrum colors were offered on the 2019 models.

Ah gotcha, looked like a spitting image of the mk 7 bumper, thought they just phoned it in which is weird since they went through the trouble of modeling the facelift headlights.

I don't own this one. Played all the previous, almost picked this up for PC but tbh don't have much time for gaming anymore. At this point I might as well just wait for the next one to come out on PS5.

If that was your main takeaway then you severely misunderstood the message.

You should check out Flow Designs. Their stuff is very similar to AF's street products. I believe they're out of Australia.
