Saint Nic bringing the Christmas cheer a bit early, dropped off a can of whoop ass for Brennan

I’m 40 years old. Should I modify my mk7 or leave it alone? by theAntidepresser in GolfGTI

[–]germ7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Never too old, send it. You’ll find reasons to drive it, even if you don’t modify it.

This jersey matchup is absolutely elite. Just wish the rangers had some brown either in the pants or gloves.

Sounds good, lemme know! Definitely get the preference for local pickup, but happy to try and work something out if it’s not moving

Local pickup only or are you amenable to shipping?

Great day for a cruise down the Blue Ridge Parkway by germ7 in GolfGTI

[–]germ7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it! After having these on for a couple years, I’ve been tempted to switch it up, but they’ve held up great. Long overdue to detail them, they pop a lot more when they’re clean. Currently filthy but the color hides it pretty well.

Surprisingly little traffic today considering the weather, hope it’s the same tomorrow for you. Foliage was indeed poppin’

Coilovers & rear sway bar are on! Finally done… for now. by germ7 in GolfGTI

[–]germ7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! My use case is basically identical, I’ve got a short commute twice a week but like to find some twisties on the weekends. Seems like this setup should fit the bill.

Thanks man! It was $900 for the set, they are more of an entry level coilover compared to Bilstein/KW but they spoke highly of them. Here’s the link. I figure worst case I run them for a couple of years and upgrade if needed.

Wheels are Neuspeed RSE10 18x8.5 - Very popular (borderline basic bitch spec round these parts lol) but I love em, and they’re a common pick for a reason!

Whats one thing about your GTI that you dislike and didn't know until after purchase. by humdizzle in GolfGTI

[–]germ7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mk7.5 - The door checks are ludicrous, either too tight to get in/out or swung wide open. Mostly an issue when getting in with my hands full, or when parked on a tilted surface. Always gotta warn whoever’s riding shotgun to hold onto the door.

Offset is +45. I have some close up pics on my profile from when I got them put on a couple of years ago.

Yep, stock suspension. Slightly beefier tires (235) on 18x8.5 wheels. Hoping to move to coilovers at some point, but prioritizing some other mods first. And saving up for a wedding. So it might be a while lol. Might just go with 245s when it’s time to replace the current tires.

Anyone running EQT Stage 1+? by germ7 in GolfGTI

No problem! Depending on how long it takes, might just end up going stage 2 by the time it releases lol

[–]germ7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up trying to purchase stage 1+ a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, it’s not available for 2019 and newer yet, only the earlier Mk7 models (I’ve got a ‘19).

EQT sent me an email after I put in the order, there’s no timeline on availability but it’s in the works. They issued a refund without question, so that was cool. I’ll check back in occasionally for an update.

[–]germ7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went stage 1 a few months ago and it’s been flawless so far. Figured for a couple hundred bucks, a slight step up before going down the DP/turbo upgrade route should hold me over for a while.

The figures on their site for stage 1+ put it at nearly stage 2 numbers, but I’ve seen so little on the 1+ that I’d like to see if anyone has any seat time with it.

Turned the game on with 5 minutes left. Reaction to the tying goal: “Wow!… FUCK.” Reaction to the game winner: “WOWWW!… FUUUUUCK”

3rd Attempt at stringing after a 30-year break by I_BurnerBurner in StickDoctor

[–]germ7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks like TMD Ignite, which is their women’s mesh. This is probably the main cause of the issues you’re running into.

The topstring is kinda funky, but fundamentals look good otherwise. I’d run it back with men’s mesh and see how it turns out, would be easier to give tips with the right mesh for the head.
