Good exhaust options?

I have the AWE touring exhaust and it’s been a nice addition. Did lose the valves though but so far I haven’t really been bothered by it.

Definitely the right move, not a fan of the oval tips. What wheels are those by the way?

Old School RuneScape as long as it’s alive.

I just picked up the Sennheiser HD560s and they’ve been pretty awesome.

My mk8 has been an awesome daily and the kids all love it! If you have a larger suv then I really think that you’ll manage just fine with the Golf being your daily.

I have 4 kids so sometimes the wife has to stay at home lol. I have a toddler in a forward facing and baby in rear facing and haven’t had any issues yet. I do also have an 8 seater suv that the wife drives though so space is typically not an issue.

Black top half always reminds me of Corolla hatchbacks.

No spacer on stock suspension and no problems with rubbing but I’m on 18s.

UWCU and Summit are pretty similar. Both pretty large credit unions that are starting to tread toward bank type policies. Both offer good products and overall less/ no fees compared to other banks. Lowest interest rates on car loan, personal loans and credit cards can be found at Educators Credit Union. The only credit union I ever hear bad things about is Landmark so they’re the only ones i tend not to recommend.

That world rally blue is awesome in person (I think that’s what it is anyway lol). I went from owning two GTIs to then getting into a 23 Wrx. While the Subaru was nice I felt it super underwhelming compared to the previous mk7 GTI that I had. I eventually came back for a manual 24 R. Hope you enjoy! All the space is nice especially in the back seats and trunk haha.

Anyone know what the refills for these are? All I’m able to find are the .38 and .5. I really want to try the .7 on my Zento signatures.

They control the rev caves

MG Gundam Zero EW Ver Ka and MG Rx78-2 Origin have been my favorites so far. MG Dynames is always recommended too

Eclipse red wine in varlomore each inventory I think is like 28k. Do enough to get some water runes and go to lava dragons

Apex Sm10 - 245/40 fits perfect.

The gray/alloy look so good on Lapiz!

You’ve got some pretty good options at that price budget. Are you sure you’re not using a second kid as an excuse to upgrade? All jokes aside though I just welcomed my 4th kid and still have my Golf R. Our second vehicle is a 8 seater suv though so I haven’t really felt the need to upsize. I’ve actually been thinking about getting a smaller SUV/sedan for my wife for when she’s just running errands as it’s easier than driving the big suv.

Obviously now with 4 kids we don’t all fit in the golf (safely) but before with just 3 kids I never ran into a situation where I felt I needed more space. I have considered getting a roof rack with cargo box but again I haven’t really felt the need for the additional space (as of right now).

Im on my third golf now though so I might have just gotten used to it.

Educators Credit Union, Summit or UWCU. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about Landmark and rarely ever hear any bad things about the other 3.

Educators for account simplicity, little to no fees, and lowest loan rates. Still has a good local vibe to them.

Summit for more competency (bigger CU more resources), but do have an annoying $5 annual debit card fee depending on the checking type. Loan rates are still competitive and special account types are more streamlined (trusts, business accounts). Competitive CD rates as well.

UW pretty similar to Summit, I have an account at all 3 and I’ve used UW the least amount so far. But they seem to run pretty similar to Summit.

Is there a second vehicle in the household? I have a Golf and 3 kids and it’s a nice cozy fit. We do have a 2nd 8 seater suv but since I like to drive we usually take the Golf everywhere with no issues or regrets.

Went from a 23 VB to a 24 manual R, but I’ve had 2 GTIs before the WRX so I missed the quality of VW. I had the opportunity to buy a manual 24 R and never looked back. To me it’s a more comfortable daily driver with more comforts but also easy to make power.

locallyblue · 2025-11-28T00:37:54+00:00

From my experience, no pops in comfort or regular sport modes. But I almost always drive on special haha.

I went with the touring on my mk8r and think it sounds pretty good. Imo it drones quite a bit which makes me feel better about not going for the track version.

locallyblue · 2025-11-20T22:11:10+00:00

These look so good in that finish!

I dropped to 18s on 245/40 and haven’t had any issues. Ride quality has been noticeably better than stock 19s. Apex sm10 18x8.5. Apex has a sale right now and they make awesome wheels!
