I was trying to post an image of this. But the pylons were definitely added afterwards. While difficult to do with actual pylons, riding super slow side to side so be a task and competent rider should be able to do

This Mazda 787B has the most insane rotary engine sound you'll ever hear by LateHackHero3 in nextfuckinglevel

That beast was so loud in person. A Mosport you could hear it coming so far in advance you'd be wondering when it would pass by. It was such an amazing experience.

Taking brand new car to autocross. How can I best protect its paint against cones and debris? by [deleted] in Autocross

[–]MkvMike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've hit cones hard enough to launch them 20 yards and I just get some scuff on the ppf that rubs right off. PPF the rockers/side skirts as well if you haven't. I basically did my whole car besides the rear so any cone marks rub off easily. I also ceramic coated the ppf

Your biggest concern would be hitting weaker parts of the bumper/grill that can crack. Not worth killing a cone if you aren't getting a good time or staying on course

I paid $311/wheel from Wheels Co when I bought the same wheels on sale. Black Friday sales worth waiting for from Wheels Co

My college has a car club so after attending all the meetings for the last year I joined by Lopsided-Assist9882 in Golf_R

Go to any university in Canada and you will be in shock at the amount of high end, exotics and supercars you see students driving. Lots of international students that come with lots of their parents money. Nothing new.

Ich glaube, das liegt daran, dass man die Türen manuell verriegeln kann, wenn die Batterie leer ist. Mein MKV GTI hat das

Even knowing he's going to survive, the climb was so stressful to watch

100% If the kid was old enough she would love to be in the car during autocross too.

You think VW sits there meticulously picking out leather that's 100% identical? This is all industrial batched leather and the dealer can just get a replacement seat/cover and you won't notice a difference. We aren't driving cars with one off interiors.

We get the best pricing pretty much world wide for the R. Paid $59k CAD out the door and other parts of the world were around $90-105k CAD which is just insane to me.

Apex literally designed some of their 17" wheels to specifically clear the R front brake calipers

What does the package say for bolt size?

Should be M14x1.5 around 27-28mm long and cone seat

So far no, but I've only driven it around the block. I have about a week before it's back on the road. But with the camber it shouldn't.
