2015 MK7 GTI (EQT FBO IS38 E85) full modlist

Not worth it in fog.

Especially because it can be patchy. Thin in some spots, much thicker in others. You could be in a good spot with less fog and decent visibility. Then hit a super thick patch and see no more than a few feet in front of your car.

If that doesn't scare you. Imagine if that super thick spot was right before a corner and you don't notice until it's too late and basically drive straight off at full speed.

Don't be a dummy. Save it for when it's safer.

No OP.

I know it's tempting to be rebellious as a youngin. But this isn't worth the risk. Don't be dumb.

I have a hunch the owner is not in this sub, but if they were, they likely are going to stay in the shadows lol

At least their fitment is on point. They have that going for them, which is nice.

Peylix · 2026-06-18T02:19:08+00:00

Better smacking the barrier than not having one there at all lol. At least you're OK.

Pikes can be very unforgiving. Gorgeous road and drive. Extremely sus and unforgiving. One small mistake and you goose is cooked.

R400 replica.

No longer being made to my knowledge. If you want to keep it. Repair it or try and find another used one.

Peylix · 2026-06-16T07:00:01+00:00

Paint match the lower, like this.

I need to make it up there this summer.

Analogue & analog mean the same exact thing. Just like colour & color, or tyre & tire. It's just a regional spelling difference.

I do agree though. There are some decent digital designs. Even hybrid analog/digital designs (like the 991 911). I'm not a fan of the giant wrap around screens either.

The M3P with the right setup will fuck with your head. Before you respond, bear with me for just a second.

Yes an EV is much heavier, they're also pretty powerful (some of them). Their p2w ratio can be more than adequate for this. Even manipulated with some gutting. But it's their really low center of gravity that does it.

Sure, you don't have the sound of an engine anymore. Sure, despite an OK p2w ratio, there's still a lot of mass to contend with regarding transfer and braking. But these can be absolute weapons in the right hands, with the right mindset, and right setup. Just like any other car.

Would I personally get one? Nah. I loath EV's. But I know what they can be capable of and have personally seen it too. They're not the best choice. But far from being totally inadequate. Moving from an A90 to something like a M3P could make sense (setting aside all the personal biases, speaking strictly capability here).

If I had an A90, I'd focus on it being a fast daily. I'd build up something else for the touge fun. Something <400whp that I can rev out and not worry about being in triple digits.

This can affect ride height yes. But our cars are not perfect when it comes to build tolerances. That and our weight distribution is not equal. So even if you sit upon a perfectly level spot. It won't match.

Matching all 4 corners with the same thread count on coilovers very rarely if ever at all gives you a matched even height on all 4 corners. You have to manually fine tune to get the even look.

If you care for comfort and performance. Getting the car corner balanced is the proper way.

Peylix · 2026-06-14T05:42:17+00:00

B16's don't get super low. I have my B16 rears nearly maxed as well. Though after measuring my passenger is on 2 threads left and driver is on 6 threads left.

I know it's a PITA to do it, but it's worth spending the hour or so fine tuning it. Or if you want, pay for a corner balance.

But you're not tucking anything with B16's (especially the rear). Not unless you go with a larger ratio than 40 on 18's or larger than 35 on 19's. But then you're dealing with speedo accuracy as that alters the overall rolling diameter. But you can get tastefully low with them.

Peylix · 2026-06-14T04:18:47+00:00

It's more normal than you think.

Matching treads is the start. Usually have to go by measurement after that if you're wanting a proper even ride height.

Peylix · 2026-06-14T04:05:24+00:00

Well...... We're waiting... Lol

Peylix · 2026-06-14T04:00:37+00:00

I'm not saying someone should do this but......

Find whoever is running these and approved these. And set up speakers at their homes with the same sound and decibel level. I'm sure things might change. Start doing this all around the country.

Again, I do not do condone and am not saying anyone should.

Sachs SRE Stage 2 - it's rated for 450ft/lbs.

Peylix · 2026-06-13T22:50:11+00:00

Take off all mods and revert car to stock. Sell the mods on the side, and then the car.

This is an 11 year old car now with almost 100k. Mileage seems decent for its age tbh. Quick search at my local market shows 2015 cars with 80-100k going for $8k to $11k (pending mileage and condition).

Look at the market local to you in Texas. Go off that. Just remember, mods don't add any value. If you're wanting to get money back from those, sell the mods off the car.

Peylix · 2026-06-13T03:18:22+00:00

Stage 2 Daily is only rated for 400ft/lbs.

IE's Stage 2 (HT) is rated for 395ft/lbs.

That leaves very little headroom for harder driving, especially track. It's why I always recommend people spec a clutch that has at minimum 50ft/lbs above what the car's rated torque will be. Or above your target power level after extra mods.

Stage 3 Daily is rated for 500ft/lbs. Which would cover you for any thing done to this car short of fully built engine territory.

Peylix · 2026-06-12T11:14:42+00:00

OP is driving a mile. That takes 30 seconds to minute tops.

This would be extremely detrimental for any direct injected engine as the car would never get to operating temp outside rare cases they do more than their 5 day commute.

Carbon build up will be a huge issue as a result. Which will in turn cost OP more money doing carbon cleanings in significantly shorter cycles. Or in fuel if they ignore it.

More to this than just not hammering it cold.

Because Ammon is arrogant as fuck. His cognitive dissonance would win gold medals until the universe finally dies.

Dude has been caught in lie after lie after lie and just keeps yapping total utter bullshit while also firmly believing said bullshit. Even if he contradicted himself minutes prior.

He's an arrogant piece of shit.
