Yeah the Potenzas are trash. They only have 17k on them so the cheap part of my brain is like welllll maybe a few more miles.. but I've had the DWS06s in a cart at tirerack for like six months now. New rims seems like a good time for new tires anyway, so maybe just bite the bullet and do them both at once. The Clubsport reps are 18x8 so good opportunity to go a little wider, too.

It was a day of uninstalling. The stock intake and hoses/pipes, stock shifter parts and shift knob, and the stock steering wheel were all reinstalled and the aftermarket parts removed. The cobb ap was unmarried. Then I reinstalled the rear wiper. I undeleted my wiper delete.
I'm almost 100% back to stock. The clutch disc, pressure plate, and clutch line isn't stock. The valve delay will always be removed. When I installed my short side to side shifter I mangled one of the bushings getting it out of the oem end link, so I had to leave the diesel geek side to side bracket installed. It's as far back to stock as it's ever going to be.
Some of my shift knob stuff was a bit mangled too, both the metal and plastic clamps. Seems to not be effecting it negatively though. It's on there good. Just feels weird having the stock knob again. I had a raceseng knob on my mk6, and I made that one of the first things I got for the R. It's been years since my shifting felt like this.
Yeah, the stock knob feels like it’s made out of balsa wood. I have learned that I prefer the stock height to slammed low like I had mine. My biggest issue is that I can barely drive without a clutch stop, apparently.
