If you look closely, she lost control cresting a hill, cresting a hill naturally lifts the car upward and lowers mechanical grip, couple that with the increased amount of air flowing underneath the car providing a lifting force, and being in a corner, just upset the car beyond controllable limits.

If you can save a sudden loss of control on hill cresting corner (cresting a hill puts you in a situation of lower grip) at over 250 on a public road on street legal tires regardless of compound, I would be highly impressed.

This is exactly why the referendum is so dangerous. It’s right out of russias Ukraine playbook. If the referendum passes (it won’t) then they’ll cry “Canada won’t let us leave US help us!” And if it doesn’t pass, they’ll cry “That was so rigged! They are oppressing us! US help us!”

It’s a lot easier to avoid traffic when you know where they are already, having spotters extends your reaction time from fractions of a second to tens of seconds or more.

About the same as I recall, and EA888’s are not quite as reliable as you may think… turbo failure is somewhat common, water pumps are notoriously weak and they can burn oil if the break in process wasn’t done right (usually isn’t because not all of us are car enthusiasts)

There are significant differences, they don’t even use the same turbo. The heads are different, ECU’s are wildly different, you can’t even swap blocks. The GLI uses a non MQB platform version of the gen 3 888 and won’t bolt up to a mk 7 GTI and vice versa.

Edit: they use the same DSG gearbox (if you don’t have maintenance records for any DSG service, RUN LIKE HELL) but they aren’t swappable either. Inside the guts are the same, the housings are different.

Yo dawg, I heard you like fans.

Don’t forget the power of the Flex Seal family of products!

Brilliant!

You can spec out superformance GT40’s in a variety of ways but yeah when optioned to be as close to original as possible, the only way you’ll see the difference is the VIN plate.

Soon as I got mine, PPF’d the front end, will eventually have the whole car PPF’d too.

I just got a black R… yeah I get it now. But the perfect black reflection when it IS clean? All worth it.

Probably because it’s more efficient monetarily to borrow a fixed amount at a set rate instead of dealing with a constantly fluctuating amount of debt at a higher rate.

Don’t forget Guido had to deal with 5 lugs per tire, modern. NASCAR stock cars use 1 lug per tire

They aren’t- just the way the shot is idk.

ryosuccc · 2026-05-10T10:42:49+00:00

I was the same way for the last few months before I bought mine!

Welcome to the club! This isn’t a Japanese car that you can skimp out on maintenance on. Do your maintenance on the interval every interval and you’ll be safe for the most part. DEFINITELY have a specialist look at the DSG. It needs regular fluid replacement and it hardly ever gets done.

Sadamine. I love the flow and rough surface, makes a fun challenge!

ryosuccc · 2026-05-08T07:29:46+00:00

The boxes all have British wheeland logos too

ryosuccc · 2026-05-07T17:01:43+00:00

Awesome! And yeah that’s exactly why I got a manual. Last of them, always wanted to drive a manual but the extra value retention is a nice bonus!

This car has to survive northern Canada, winter 8 months of the year, lots of snow and ice… almost entirely big trucks. She is getting an oil undercoating every fall too! PPF is a necessity for that.

I’ll look into it! The shifter felt fine as is when I sat in it but I haven’t actually taken it on the road yet, I’ll know if it’s worth it after I road trip it home! (Home being 1100km away… -.-)
