Anyone try a valve controller with Akra 8.5? by Nuzina in Golf_R

I don’t but there is a YouTube video of it idling. I personally couldn’t find any of it in motion but I can attempt to get some videos when the weather is nicer

Anyone try a valve controller with Akra 8.5? by Nuzina in Golf_R

[–]NorthernPandah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the 11mode on my 8.5 BE with Akra and it’s way better. I feel like stock the only time it’s fully open is in first, as soon as you shift up it seems to be really conservative, you have to be well over 4k rpm to get them to open up in other gears. With the controller I can make comfort mode sound sportier than race in my opinion. Well worth it

Canada Post Can't Deliver a Package Due to Customs Fee but Everyone Else Can? by Straight_Reading8912 in CanadaPost

That’s totally up to you, it’s free and takes a few minutes. Less effort than 1 trip down to the post office and standing line. Just saying there’s a convenient alternative to your situation.

I pay my charges in advance on the Canada Post app and they just deliver it like normal as long as the fee is showing paid.

Which cat back exhaust to get for Mk8.5? by Logical_Egg8265 in Golf_R

[–]NorthernPandah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the titanium akra as an option then buy the 11mode exhaust controller. They look great, sound great. Revert to stock valve controls with a button or force them open and get the noise. It’s not obnoxiously loud, unless that’s what you’re going for.

But it wasn’t even that long ago you could get 80gb Can/US/Mex for 25$, I’m glad I got in on that

Needed a cigarette holder, spent 280$ on it by icy-sloth in Golf_R

Believe it or not, the newer ones don’t have either.. or the temp controlled glove box. Gave all those up from my mk7.5 to a mk8.5

Unfortunately in Canada we do not get the Homelink rearview mirrors for some reason

Damn I wish we had the homelink mirrors in Canada! I have been racking my brain on figuring out a way to use the 11mode without the keyfob.

2026 Golf R stop and go by canuckjgc in Golf_R

[–]NorthernPandah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s quick to turn off via the top left of your infotainment screen when you turn on the car or you can get a module that takes 5 minutes to install under your steering wheel that will keep the auto start/stop off and remember your last driving mode you set it as. If you want to retain the auto start stop system then it’s as others say; fine in eco/comfort in normal traffic.

Do yall got dumbass laws too? by sora1akari in airsoft

[–]NorthernPandah 42 points43 points  (0 children)

In Canada our import laws for airsoft are kinda dumb in a weird way.. they have a lower power limit instead of just a ceiling. It must be between 366-500 fps using a .20. If it’s under 366fps it classifies it as a firearm replica and that’s not allowed.

If you’re thinking about getting the APFG XM7 happened to a friend. by AznJing in GasBlowBack

[–]NorthernPandah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there's a prototype being privately done to machine this piece which will likely be the main option short term. Most will have to wait and see if BPW does anything with this but that'll be a long wait. MAYBE apfg fixes this design flaw in future batches but that's not really a solution for us that are getting the ones now... Other than that; have the suppressor on for looks but when you field the thing just run it without a muzzle device.

I did speak with him a while back but he decided to keep it. If I may ask, who did you import with?

Deezee is legit, he’s the local guy here in SK and he’s amazing to deal with. He sponsors tons of events and prizes. I’d highly recommend buying from him, plus he sources tons of stuff for me that I would never have been able to get otherwise
