>tuning a GTI

You are just ruining a good car

>>16817356
But anon-san, vroom vroom racecar gotta go fast

>>16817338
>no I didn't buy it new
Finally a real thread
Do the GTI's have cylinder deactivation as well?

>>16817383
not that I'm aware of, honestly that sounds kinda silly in a 4 cylinder turbo

>>16817362
>bought a fwd cuckbox
>wanting to go fast
Should've gotten a Mustang gt.

>>16817396
Tell that to the new Fiesta ST kek

>>16817412
Don't like big cars friendo, and I would get a camaro over the memetang if I was in the market

>>16817418
And you'd crash because no visibility.

>>16817426
>believing the meme

You should try actually driving cars anon

>>16817418
>mustang
>big car
lol wtf

>>16817455
>doesn't think mustang is big

found the pigfat

>>16817412
pretty sure a 300hp golf will go round a track faster than a mustang gt

>>16817479
wouldn't surprise me, GTI is 700 pounds lighter than a mustang GT

>>16817396
Maybe its just the bluemotion, but they are all TSI now anyway?
MK7 is when they introduced it

alternative facts, people buy into an industry built on stupidity because its what they want to believe in rather than thinking logically.

>>16817501
Oh gosh anon you're right, where have I gone wrong? What god like enthusiast machine do you drive master

It's almost as if I didn't want a pure sports car because I can only afford one car :0000000

>>16817455
>nearly 190 in long and 4000lb with the V8

It's a fucking boat m8.

Cargo shorts probably the hardest one to admit.

>>16817479
>>16817492
But you can't drift the gti.

>>16817519
3500lbs. Not light but also not 4000lbs

>>16817656
It's OK anon, cargo shorts are mandatory for where I live when it's summer

>>16817501
What you got against the BRZ?
As Daily Driver without the need for raw power its quite good.

I really like mine OP, just the regular 1.8 tho.

I've had APR's intake and 93 tune since about 2k miles (about 36k on it now).

Makes a fun little daily. Its my first hatch and I'm amazed at the amount of shit I can fit in the back.

the only sticker is my gym parking pass

>>16817338
I own a mk7 scirocco :) a tune is highly recommended. It just wakes the car up.

I had a nice 50hp + 100lbs torque increase :)

>>16817864
oh yes, all my friends who sit inside the car exclaim how much space it has for a small car.

>>16817338
Pretty sure you can get 300hp golfs from the factory with the uprated internal materials needed to make it last.

>>16817954
Not in the US unfortunately, aside from the golf R which was twice the price I paid for my GTI.

I'm confident the engine will be fine, the clutch on the other hand...

OP, is your MK7 6MT or DSG?

APR Stage 1 flash will put the car right around the 300whp mark and like 360-370wtq. If you have a manual, you'll need a clutch. DSG is fine.

I've been tuned maybe 20k miles on mine, feels like a completely different car, would recommend. Have an APR VW Stealership tune your car and you'll keep your warranty.

TT-RS clutch kit goes in it next week. Other car has been getting all the love recently.

>>16817338
Set money aside for a new clutch in 10k miles

>>16818287
6 Speed Manuel, I'm going with unitronic since I'm going straight to stage 2.

I already have the money for the beefier clutch saved but I'm gonna get some life outta the stock one (maybe)

>>16818324
Nice man, wish I could've gotten Carbon Steel but white is alright.

I need dem euro tails doe, are those OEM or ching chong?
