I've had two different Rs I've taken, had the same parts (literally) on both. JB4 custom map 6, downpipe, intercooler, modified intake, res delete, mounts. I do a splash of e85 but dont change the tune. First R was a manual. Ran 12.5xx@116 was my best but was all over the place because manual...

I’ve done their midwest event 4 or 5 times. Always a great time. Similar max trap speed (139).

so does our bronco, kind of.

Putting my car away for the winter next month. I've driven it less than 2500 miles since last August (stored from November-April) so I really should be selling it but if I do I don't trust my wife to ever agree to another "fun" car since we just had our first kid. Between the 650 a month payment...

Vroom and carvana both recently offered me about 4K less for my R (42ish vs 38ish) than they did in late June Only has 700 more miles.

I'm the one being obstinate? You're praising Honda for having one sentence, one poor image, and no technical or pricing information on their website for a car that is launching in a few weeks. JFC. VW would have sold exactly 0 more GTIs if they had a GTI page 12 months ago with one photo and a...

Honda announced the car a couple weeks before it will be available. Based on Honda's timeline VWUSA shouldnt have even confirmed we are getting the mk8 yet. Sounds like that would have made you happier. The info currently available about the SI on Hondas website (Turbo and manual) has been...

You're bitching that VW didn't put out a fluffy front page that read something along the lines "the MK8 GTI will be a fun to drive turbocharged sports car" with one shitty photoshopped image? The link I included has far more information than is available for the SI and the GTI is still months...

??? The SI section on Honda's website gives far less info (literally one sentence saying it comes with a turbo, a manual and will be "exceptionally fun") than the MK8 section on VW's (which gives starting prices, colors, actual power figures, displacement, tech updates like the heads up...

The wheel coverage is the only add on I ever consider for cars I buy. Got a new tire and had two wheels refinished in the first 12 months which covered about 75% of what it cost. No doubt I’ll make it all back and then some before it runs out in 2024.

its the drag ladder on here. I also know Allan personally. https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/new-official-mk7-golf-gti-1-4-thread.333558/

The record for fastest manual is (or was, haven’t checked lately) a unitronic stage 2 car with a jb4 stack. Edit: just checked, still the record holder.

you need a credit card your wife isn’t on. Never added her to either of my accounts that I had before we married. Harder to do after the fact I’d imagine.

might order a vortex xl with my Amex points next month. This is my concern.
