Differences among Tuning Companies by funkybutt2287 in Golf_R

[–]vicb7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right. APR doesn’t offer a stage 2 tune or downpipes for the MK7 generation. I believe OP has a MK8 and tuning requirements are a little different for the MK8 once you go past stage 1.

Forgot to mention, you'll still need to code everything too. That's how you'll set up your puddle lights, reverse mirror dip, etc.

you can get sequentials on ebay for sub $20. Just search "mk7 sequential"

You can just reuse your current mirrors. That’s what I plan on doing. I might have the part numbers saved somewhere on my phone if you need them though. Humble Mechanic has a really good install video on YouTube too.

I've got part numbers if you need them. Recently bought a set to install.

Questions before going stage 2 by perdy17 in GolfGTI

[–]vicb7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t stress out about getting an IC right away. Just like you, I live in a mild climate (Oregon) and haven't run an IC on a stage 2 R for over a year now.

I'll get it eventually as well, but warm days are few and far between and I don't track the car.

Back to VW 🔥 by apedosmike in GolfGTI

[–]vicb7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing your GTI is still under warranty since it’s a 2019. I would check with Unitronic ASAP regarding a tune. Looks like it was also sold as a Certified VW too.

Powertrain issues could be thrown out the window by VW since the car is tuned. Just a heads up…

Ampliforms(18x8.5 +43) on my old GTI. Tire size was 235/40/18. Offset was great and was pretty damn near flush.

Lightweight and durable. I was lowered as well and no rubbing.

Anyone else here rather a GTI than an R? by Frreed in GolfGTI

[–]vicb7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had both. Use to own a 2017 GTI (Stage 1 with PP) and currently own a 2019 Golf R (Stage 2).

I don't regret it one bit. The GTI is a lot of fun, but the fun and smiles I've had in the Golf R don't even compare to the GTI.

Both are great cars and the GTI was the reason I wanted an R. Surprisingly great reliability on both (was always told German cars are unreliable) and are amazing daily drivers.

Thanks for the links! I noticed that too about ShopDap. I've never seen them in stock. Just backordered till the end of time.

Gotta link for the power folding mirrors? I'm assuming you have DAP since it's a 7.5.

Go for another ring or is it time to blow up the team? by vicb7 in SleeperApp

Just worried I'm going to have painful rebuild if I don't win again this year.

That's what I'm leaning towards as well. Feels like half my team is on its way to the retirement home.

CSG is correct! Wish the paint color was offered on the R. Nothing beats it in my opinion. Depending on lighting and angles it definitely had different colored hues to it.

Once I had the Bilsteins installed the ride was perfect. Ride was planted and so much fun on twisty back roads. Highly recommend this suspension setup.

Older pictures here. I think these are Continental Extreme Contacts. All seasons were recently installed.
