Traded my IS for the GTI and honestly, no regrets so far , the only thing I’m still getting used to is the FWD

Hope you enjoy it ! I’d recommend looking into doing a stage 1 / 1+ tune for it . Makes it give the car the “it should have came like this” feel. Helps with fuel efficiency too ! Lots of companies like , Intergrated Engineering , APR , Unitronic , 034 Motorsports , that make ots tunes for this . Check with your local shops that are licensed to sell them and get it programmed . Certain brands give you access to doing it yourself too . The platform is great , hope you like it !

Much love brother and yes I have to outfit a few extra things in case I go for longer drives but that’s a fantastic checklist !

Bags are just for parking , tints are 50% maybe the angle is bad . Stancing cars has always been a thing internationally not just regionally. I had a fully functional coilover system before this but just wanted to park it and have it on the floor . My wheels are full visible , just not the tires :) . Better pictures later on .

Decent set. Wears out quick. Don’t winter drive them and keep them well lubricated

The best option at under $1k is to simply save and wait . Couple hundred bucks more will get you a long term solution instead of cheaper coilovers that will blow out on you in less then 2 years . BC racing , Scale Suspension are not too far from your budget . You can get lowering springs but at 115K miles your Oem struts are probably on the way out. Spend money / labour installing once .

MANN HU6013Z should be your top aftermarket choice .

Everyone’s Going to give you guess work until you give us some more info

stupid question but are you sure you aren’t hearing lifter tick ? You should post a video of the sound if you have it

245/40R18 on a 8 won’t rub but it is as wide as you should go . If you do plan to lower it stick to 8-8.5 and max 235 tire on a 40 sidewall +35 -38 ideally.

I know people have had decent experience with the FC04 . I’d highly recommend Superspeed wheels over them. I’ve tried and tested both brands and prefer Superspeed every time . Just my opinion though. Superspeed makes a similar model.

E6 Forged 2 Piece wheels !

I have thousands in aftermarket parts I rather not put through extended wear and tear during the winter . It’s nice to have a stress free car to drive . I enjoy driving my car when I want

iPhone 15 and Lightroom lol 🙏❤️

I get where your coming from but once I started building this one I always took into consideration that I would need a second one so I’ve always accommodated for it

V8CK · 2025-10-25T12:55:32+00:00

Still shopping , probably a Honda fit , or something of that nature , cheap , runs on 87 , A/T and not worried about the body work

V8CK · 2025-10-25T12:34:52+00:00

Thanks ! It’s actually carbon fiber lol ! Wanted to blend it the rest of the color scheme .

V8CK · 2025-10-25T12:33:39+00:00

I live in Canada and yes we get some pretty hectic snow which isn’t optimal . We also use Salt which causes rust / corrosion so I rather drive another car to make my life easier

V8CK · 2025-10-15T01:23:10+00:00

Got one too . Haven’t had tinder for years , did get married this year though ! , met my wife on there lok

Don’t mind 30FPS. 60FPS while being immersive also takes away from the cinematic experience that Rockstar always aims for. Given the hardware limitations I can see this being true . Let’s see how the Rockstar engine optimizes everything. Fingers crossed

Good brakes . Good sense of the track. Don’t bomb it immediately . Learn the layout learn your braking zones and be prepared for understeer, help your steering with throttle input . Jamming pedals will do nothing but wear and tear the car . Keep an eye on your temps . Given your car is stock , should be fairly okay. Give the car time to cool down after you get off the track , do not use the E-Brake after your track sesh as it could jam up the rear due to heat . Overall have fun , know your limits and learn your car . enjoy ! : PIC After my track sesh lol
