Like another guy posting here recently I’m going from GTI to an R. Had a black 2018 GTI SE 6MT since last October. Great car, but lacked power I wanted. Tossed on a JB4 and then it had too much power for the front wheels alone to handle. Also, OMG the black paint was killing me!
So, sold the GTI, found a 2017 LSG color R 6MT from a member here, and it arrives from OH this Wednesday. Stoked.
Car has APR Stage 1 tune, upgraded clutch, and APR short shift kit. Should be pretty snappy.
Plans for now are to carry over some things from the GTI. ECS silicone intake hose, K&N, CTS Turbo turbo inlet, turbo muffler delete. Have some things from Badgeskins and EZMods to cover up annoying things like the passenger airbag light, airbag warning stickers on the visors, and the chrome on the front end.
Considering installing the RS7 coils and plugs I bought but never installed on the GTI. May transfer the RocEuro arm and 034 dogbone inserts I had on the GTI. Also have the ECS clutch block, steel clutch line, and 034 engine mounts that I never got around to on the GTI.
The big mystery is how long I make it before going Stage 2 with the crackle tune!
