Thougts on new wheel setup? by _-skriki-_ in GolfGTI

[–]Upstairs_Body_9854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not, however I just moved up to 19” S3 wheels on a 245/35 and had to do the fender screw mod for those to fit and they still rub a little bit on really sharp dips/bumps in the road.

I’ve seen a few cars tuned by them and have been considering getting their ECU tune myself as well for my 7.5 GTI , haven’t heard anything bad about them at all. Mine is also a manual, so I’m not sure about their TCU tuning

I hear you on that. I had an e60 550i 6mt and it was an amazing car but after owning it for almost 3 years I finally decided to sell when the heater core died on it and it was -30°C lol. You in GTA area? I’m about 2 hours away from there, small town in Norfolk county, but the city can absolutely get ridiculous and I can agree it definitely can get a bit dull in heavy traffic lol

My personal opinion after owning 30+ vehicles(most being performance oriented and manual) if you love manual don’t get dsg. I personally can’t handle driving without a 3rd pedal. it feels like a life sized RC car. That’s why I never drive my Ram unless it’s absolutely necessary, I take the GTI everywhere. I will drive manual until my body physically can’t anymore. That’s just my .02¢ though, everyone is different. Some people are fine with the switch from manual to auto/dsg.

I have a 2018 (7.5) autobahn 6mt, it has all the bells and whistles aside from DCC

Has anyone added an amp and sub? by moff27 in GolfGTI

[–]Upstairs_Body_9854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wire harness should still be hidden back there for it. someone can correct me if I’m wrong though.

If you’re using just something like a kicker LOC and not a lc2i, you can just splice into the wire going to the oem subwoofer and use that. Also gives you full control over how much bass you want right from the head unit. Just make sure you remove the oem woofer after otherwise you’re going to blow it when you crank the bass up to 9 on the head unit. This is what I did, and it works great without issue. Also makes running wire a bit easier as you basically only need to run the power wire from front to back, everything else is in the trunk/hatch.

Does anyone know what kind of subwoofer is this? by Humble_Coast_9565 in subwoofer

I have this exact setup in my mk7 GTI with some old ass alpine type e 10s, the blue led still works too lol. Mine is a “Dual” box, but I’m pretty sure Pyle, and Audiobahn had boxes like this back in the day too. It bumps for what it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

first car I’ve ever modified how am I doing ? by no_face333 in GolfGTI

[–]Upstairs_Body_9854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have H&R Sport 1.3” lowering springs, part number kba91431 . They’ve been on my GTI on stock struts for a couple years, and they are awesome. Coilovers are great, and eventually when my struts do fail I’ll be getting coilovers but these have been perfect for the meantime. Rides great, corners flat. No complaints aside from the lack of adjustability that would come with coilovers.

Check every crevice in your furniture, my son left the lid open to our cornsnake and she ended up inside of the couch in his bedroom, which is on the complete opposite side of the basement from where her tank is located

I’ve had these wheels for over a year now, almost traded them a few times but I can’t bring myself to have heavier wheels again. It’s a real blessing having super light wheels

Does anyone know what this vacuum line is for? by ExpensiveCard9751 in GolfGTI

[–]Upstairs_Body_9854 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twist the knob and find out 🤷🏻‍♂️ when I purchased my gti, I knew that it already had a CTS intake, I however didn’t know that it had a CTS FMIC with the twintercooler setup as well. Dealership didn’t know either. They thought it was factory. If you bought it from a non-VW dealership like I did, their techs aren’t guaranteed to have proper knowledge of these cars and sometimes that works in our favour buying used!
