RCSummers MK7 Golf R

[rcsummers]

Shoulda kept the Saab for a backup. Still got mine.

holy crap where did you find that!!!


haha sometimes I wish i kept it, but I sold it for a M3. So no complaints.

The R is my daily, but driving the M3 for a week while I do the install shouldn't be too bad, I just hate putting miles on it.

Same place you left it 4 years ago.

Always nice to see random former Saab owners on forums.

PinAlloy Paddle Shifters came today...

Looking forward to installing them tonight.

Quality seems good, i like that they are machined out where the paddle stock paddle will fit, including space for the little grooves on the back of the stock paddles. The anodizing/powder-coating could be a little better, but its not horrible. For the price, I'd say is a great bang for the buck.

Overall: 4/5

Ill see if that can jump up to a 5/5 if it makes shifting via the paddles feel any better, once installed.

And Installed....

with a gratuitous shot of the P3 guage, I never posted pics of.

I love how OEM those gauges look. They honestly should come like that.

How are you liking the R so far? I have a few customers who have nothing but good things to say about theres.

Thanks,

Alex.

I love how OEM it looks, my SO, thought it came that way from the factory.....little does she know haha.

I love the R so far. Coming from the m3 to this, is great. im pretty luck that i have the best of both worlds between my daily (the R) and my weekend toy (m3)

plugged into the OBD.

Track Pack option?, I haven't seen anything from P3 about a "Track Pack" on their site.

So how do they drive? Thoughts?

Hey man. There is a local mk7 tri state meet happening tonight (Oct Thursday 27th) at Garden State Plaza in Paramus. We use the deck closest to the movie theater. Top deck. All to ourselves. 730 8pm is when ppl start showing. Then we all go down to zinburger and grab a drink or a bite. Some ppl bring their pro cameras but it's always a good time.

Great, improved paddle feel two-fold. Gives you a slightly larger area to hit when shifting.

Downsides, cannot shift from very top or bottom of paddle. And I wish the backside wasn't so flat, they can feel a little slippery sometimes.
