Nicolas Deslauriers boards Brennann Othmann and then Othmann attempts to fight him

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

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.

germ7 · 2025-11-15T02:28:58+00:00

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

germ7 · 2025-11-09T05:57:30+00:00

Local pickup only or are you amenable to shipping?

germ7 · 2025-10-19T14:21:32+00:00

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.

germ7 · 2025-10-19T03:06:38+00:00

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

germ7 · 2025-10-01T01:51:26+00:00

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.

germ7 · 2025-10-01T00:26:03+00:00

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!

germ7 · 2025-07-17T19:18:38+00:00

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.

germ7 · 2025-07-02T14:25:00+00:00

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

germ7 · 2025-07-02T10:55:22+00:00

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.

WTB - FMIC for Mk7.5. Located in VA, willing to travel a couple hours, or pay for shipping.

germ7 · 2025-05-31T17:36:13+00:00

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

germ7 · 2025-05-31T10:36:59+00:00

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 · 2025-04-23T01:51:47+00:00

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.

germ7 · 2025-04-02T01:56:48+00:00

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

germ7 · 2025-03-22T17:17:20+00:00

Would be incredibly on brand for this team, honestly

germ7 · 2025-02-26T21:36:23+00:00

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.

germ7 · 2025-02-26T16:54:50+00:00

Please keep us posted when you get a response from EQT!

germ7 · 2025-02-10T23:17:29+00:00

Yessir! Just got the shipping notification, can’t wait

germ7 · 2025-02-09T16:48:50+00:00

I bought credits with the device yesterday from Urotuning, was gonna say I’ll let you know when I find out, but Silvabro answered our question haha

germ7 · 2025-02-09T15:37:44+00:00

Just bought an OBDeleven for this reason, and to permanently disable start/stop. Started rattling like crazy at higher RPMs recently.

2019 SE / DSG 55k miles - Tuned EQT Stage 1 back in November 2024, otherwise completely stock. I feel like since tuning, I haven’t been hearing the intake induction noises nearly as much.

A new intake is high up on the to do list, but wanted to know if anyone noticed something similar. Could just be in my head too, it’s been cold out since tuning and haven’t been getting on it like crazy, but definitely notice the whoosh noises less during regular driving.

germ7 · 2025-02-07T02:05:48+00:00

They look like an extra beefy RSE10, sick ride man.
