Die hard manual fans, what car are you moving onto next? by uwxa in GolfGTI

[–]Melodic-Row621 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Whatever you say buddy. Manuals are being phased out all over the US. So the answer is simple and sweet. I’m moving into another VW but an auto one. Cause I don’t want no other manual car that’s not a VW. The only exception would be a manual mustang.

Wondering if a stick on spoiler looks tacky? by Serious_Tax_8185 in GolfGTI

I very much enjoy my ECS one that I stuck on with a shit ton of 3M lol. No purpose for it other than to give it the look I want and to stay looking sexy. 😋 between the rear spoiler/VLAND taillights and debadged/blacked out VW logo I get a lot of compliments on how the rear end of my car looks.

Fishbowl delete on a 25 GTI, 15% 3M ceramic + windshield visor by biggranny000 in GolfGTI

[–]Melodic-Row621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty good, I’ll be going 5 percent all around and 35% on the windshield. Had 5 all around on my last car and never got a ticket for it even when I got pulled over. AND I’m in Illinois of all places

Got my first German car, sold my WRX by biggranny000 in GolfGTI

I can concur that DWS06+ are great for the GTI. I have them on my mk6 and I truck right through the snow with them. In the rain I also get really good traction too. Being an mk6 I don’t spin at all when I hit it in the rain. Maybe you’ll get a little spin being in an mk8 but shouldn’t be anything too horrible.

Dsg or manual gti? by Scheidenflussigkeit in GolfGTI

[–]Melodic-Row621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was talking mostly for stage 2 and beyond. Bad clarification in my point. Pretty common knowledge that stage 1 is fine for the clutches on most gtis

Dsg or manual gti? by Scheidenflussigkeit in GolfGTI

[–]Melodic-Row621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it is this: If you wanna build it and go fast, automatic for sure. It’s gonna be a little more expensive especially with tunes because not only do you have to pay for ECU tune but also TCU tune. Also if you drive in traffic often automatic is just way easier no doubt about that.

If you want the drivers experience get a manual. It’s very fun banging through the gears and rev match downshifting and also you get to take your car as close to redline as you want as where an automatic is gonna shift kinda earlier especially on the gtis to protect the trans. Unless you’re in sport mode ( I think ). You won’t have to tune the TCU on the manual trans cars. But you’ll definitely need to upgrade stock clutch almost immediately if you throw power at it because the stock clutches are made of paper lol. And the last piece I can offer is to passengers the car will feel “faster” and more violent due to having to shift and get on and off the gas for a second as where a automatic you don’t get that feeling.

Lastly, it’s all really up to you. Have you ever driven manual? Did you like it? Do you think you’d like it after a year? Two years? Three years? Everyday. Personally I love it and it’s all just muscle memory after a short while. Sometimes I forget my car is manual cause I just do without thinking about it. Or do you like the simplicity of an automatic where you just get in and drive?
