Sure it is... you think all of us have time to turn wrenches? I don't do any of my own work in the colder months. Your project sounds great, smart to go straight to stage 3 clutch.I know this isn't quite in the spirit of the thread

Great choice - I love mine.Got a quote from APTuning to get the South Bend Stage 3 Daily kit done, as well as mounts and clutch delay valve delete. Ordered the BFI engine/trans mounts from USP, once I have those in hand it's getting scheduled to get the clutch done, I've done a number of mk4 clutches in the past but for once it makes more sense to just have a shop do it and use the time for other things -- midlife is a weird time. But I think with that all done, I'll have the GTI of my dreams, and be happy for a while. Very excited. I know this isn't quite in the spirit of the thread, but I'm excited and just wanted to say something.
Sir I can't think of one person, especially not any dog owners, that this has happened to lately. Come on now...next thing you know you are ordering a hybrid turbo and fueling. It happens to all of us man

You won't be happy for a while - you'll stumble across some thread on this forum that will make you go "Hmmm..."; next thing you know you are ordering a hybrid turbo and fueling. It happens to all of us man - I keep saying it, but this place is a bad place man.
This whole place has been incredibly dangerous to my wallet. I was ecstatic to finally get a GTI, and then it became a matter of 'What can I add to really make it what I always dreamed of'?
But I'm inclined to think the 19 S was the way to go, I didn't think I cared all that much about the PP until I saw how common it was for folks to want to swap for the upgraded brakes, the LSD is delightful, and I always wanted the plaid seats. All around, it's such a fun car to drive, it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. And the community here is great, nobody seems to go out of their way to be a jerk and there's so much good information. Not sure if it's because there's a more mature crowd here (being that it's a newer vehicle, I come from mk4s), or if it's just luck of the draw, but either way it's appreciated.
I could gush for days on end about the experience overall. But having my attainable dream car has been an awesome experience, and everyone I've interacted with because of it only sweetens things.
ThisMk7 forum is how NASIOC used to be before used WRX's got cheap enough to buy that the place filled up with 19 year olds asking which blowoff valve added the most hp 50 times a day.

Keep us updated on the clutch install.

Will do. I was quoted $650 ($100/hr x 6.5 hours) for labor, and when I told them I'd be supplying the clutch, they asked what I was looking at. Turns out they keep the South Bend Stage 3 Daily in stock, and offered me 10% off of retail if I bought through them. I'm additionally having them do the BFI mounts and clutch delay valve delete, so with fluid and everything I believe I'm going to come out around $2900. It's expensive, but labor is way cheaper than the ~$1200 the dealer wanted.Keep us updated on the clutch install. I was thinking of getting a quote from APtuning for my clutch also.

I've not had shops do much work on my cars in the past, but in this instance/with a car this new, I'd rather have someone experienced do the job. Additionally, it means I can just drop the car off and go to work, and then pick it up later, which is nice.
