Definitely like that shiftboot better.
Do you plan on going all out with the weight reduction? Looking forward to more clubsport stuff!
Where did you get the shifter from? Is the only difference the shift pattern font? Any difference in weight?
....Added a BMS clutch stop and took off the clutch assist spring, clutch feels decent now....
Nice car, I like the color.
Have you removed the diaphragm from the clutch bleeder block yet?
Thank you, I have not, was planning to do it when I installed my short shifter. Did it make a big difference?

Do it!
I removed the diaphragm, bored out the bleeder block with a drill, swapped for a stainless steel clutch line, and removed the pedal assist spring. Feels so much better. At the very least the spring and bleeder diaphragm are worth it. IMO.
Subscribed for updates.
Great choice in color too! Pure white is one of the best colors for the GTI
But hey, I'm biased
Yep, huge difference.
I want to replace the rubber line and accumulator one of these days.
IIRC, there is another plastic block [clutch accumulator] at the firewall that can be deleted when replacing the clutch line.
Found and linked your thread.
nicholam77 + RadioFlyer, thanks guys! Will order the KMD parts today.
Ah, yes. I never got rid of the accumulator because my KMD line wasn't long enough. Installing the line was my 3rd time bleeding the system and I just didn't feel like ordering a longer one and doing it all over again. But... a little part of me wonders if getting rid of it would be that last 10% to make it feel perfect.
Fyi KMD's line is great, but if you do want to bypass and remove the accumulator make sure you specify you want the "longer version" of their line as otherwise it will likely be too short.
