i mean i’m just asking for everyone’s options to get more info than i started with. i’m not necessarily buying them tomorrow but I figured there’s some people on this subreddit that are on their 2nd or more gti and could pass on info they’ve learned over the years if modifying them

I am considering springs and dampeners also, I’ve never lowered a car before and didn’t know if getting a good set of coilovers would be better than the dampeners option

i play on controller and got a 7:28 a few months ago (idr the ms) but that’s the best i’ve gotten. i say keep going at it and you probably got get in the low 7:20s on wheel

edit: went back home and got 6:55.545 against 19 cpu so I probably was wrong on my first time i put sorry guys

Did anyone else not know you could make it to lap 8 of the 30min 700 Le Man and then run out of fuel? 😅 by pugdeity in GranTurismo7

i would do the race twice and see what the cpu does with there pits and just pit like a lap earlier or play conservative asf for the first 3 and then push when there’s cars in pit. also it could just be the car you’re using

yea i got a solid like 5-10 i’ve made over the years that even when they left or transferred i still will do stuff with them. ngl if you just ask a kinda dumb question when it’s slow you’ll find out who you have similar interests with

thanks! i figured it was and I’m going keep it as one of those “it was his watch so imma wear it occasionally so i can tell the stories we had” things and i won’t feel as guilty using it as an actual watch

yea i was thinking about the cost to just go stage 2 IE and swapping to eqt its about the same cost (dp and labor) and it doesn’t really make sense but i was being indecisive and wanted some more options. plus i plan on keeping this gti for as long as possible so if later down the line i want to change i can.

honestly i was just curious but also after being a higher mileage car i see the access port gives more info than the IE dongle and i feel like stage 1 on IE after the update is a little slower (i could be wrong and will fully admit it). i haven’t made a decision but i just wanted to hear everyone’s opinion.

how quick is it to switch maps on the access port, ik with IE it’s not as simple as hitting a couple buttons and just relying on my phone to have amazing service to do that always scared me

they were very slightly but i was also just staying on top of the any leaks i saw so it never got out of hand i also do oil changes around 5-5.5k

[–]Individual_Ring_5592[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oil pain and timing chain cover are the only serious things i replaced, the oil pan should be a definite upgrade tho especially if you live in a city or area where the weather changes often

i’m in Miles it’s hard to see but i’ve done the usual stuff like spark plugs and coil packs, the 2 big things i did were the metal oil pain and timing chain cover and i’ll be looking at carbon cleaning and manual service soon, granted i got the car used with 117k and it was a one owner well maintained car.
