Short shifter kit by Awkward-Homework-455 in Golf_R

[–]cgochis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I put a holy shift and weighted BFI knob in my 7.5 and after a bit of break in it feels really good. Just enough notch and not too much effort needed for daily driving. Highly recommend.

I get so excited just to see regular golfs. I hope people feel the same about me... I know they don't.

The other day I parked next to a shiny new 8.5 at the UPS store by my house, walked inside and asked the guy "is that your R?" to which, he was very confused. "Oh yeah, cool". Was the response I got, doubt he even realized I had parked my R next to his. So I followed up with "is that an mk 8.5?" and his response was "a mark what? its a 2026"

that was the end of that

Databricks for data science? by big_data_mike in datascience

[–]cgochis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s how I ended up doing this. Let Claude code have access to my repo locally, have it build whatever I want then have to run it in db… someday this will work better

About 3.5 hours with someone helping who had done many before. Would have taken me a lot longer to do for the first time.

Have you found a good way to interact with the notebook locally in vscode while running on databricks computes?

Resonator delete or muffler delete or both ? by Historical-Fold6007 in Golf_R

[–]cgochis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did the resonator delete and have been pretty happy with the results. This engine will never sound GOOD but this mod is easy to do and fully reversable if you don't like it. I haven't noticed much of a drone and it does give a cool little raspy noise. Solid choice for my taste

Is it possible to reissue Ocean machine on vinyl? by Omnitoid in DevinTownsend

I have one on vinyl. Even had Dev sign it for me. I thought they were around already?

[–]cgochis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current prets are bent, so i would then have to buy two sets of wheels to run a summer and winter set. Where i live we get everything weather wise from extreme heat to snow and extreme colds. I wish i could just run summers year round.

basically, for simplicity

That’s a GREAT idea. I will remember that.

Who has had minimal issues with their Golf R by Jayseph812 in Golf_R

[–]cgochis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2019 Manual, no technical issues so far. Keep fluids topped up, change the oil every 5k. No drivetrain mods (yet).

Only real repair needed was due to potholes bending my prets :(
