I know what you mean! No matter how many times I try to straighten it out, it continues to sag a bit inwards. Definitely not ideal in the looks department

So, the Deadset Kit and 034 Motorsport Density Motor/trans Mounts make a HUGE difference in the car's handling and power delivery. Everything feels tight, smooth, and on point. Seriously, this car is set up for war now!

Latest piece installed is the 034 Motorsport Shifter Bracket Bushings. These things made a notic able difference in shifter feel, which is great for the next stage in modding.

Now....which clutch to pick up??

So........

Got new APR goodies today! The following are being installed (at some point) today:

Excited to see the difference that these make in the day to day driving experience of the car!

To go along with the tune, I decided to add some RS7 plugs and a boost gauge. The plugs smooth out power delivery nicely, which is great! And I love the boost gauge. I went with APR because of the overall fit and finish (plus will be getting rarer as the gauge is discontinued). Photo attached!

Just a quick update on where Heidi is right now:

The final stage for my car (aside from the several trips and drives that I will chronicle here in this thread) is adding the following to the build:

APR Downpipe
APR Secondary Muffler
Integrated Engineering FDS Intercooler

I will post some shots of the install and some more impressions and thoughts on how everything is working!

Just a photo from Hoosier Pass in Central CO. This car in OEM trim was a blast to drive. with the newfound power and suspension modifications, this car is just too much fun :)
