I'm aware of the sales value of modded cars, this car is definitely for the right buyer who wants a built engine and knows what it would cost to do themselves.
I'd probably go without a second car for a while and possibly get an AWD SUV down the line (just had to rent one to visit family over Christmas in snow country). I love the R but it does a lot of sitting ever since I moved close to public transit.
I am selling my built block 2015 Oryx White Volkswagen Golf R with DSG (automatic dual clutch transmission) and DCC (electronically adjustable ride stiffness). It has factory leather, navigation, Fender audio, heated seats, backup camera and parking sensors. This car makes for a comfortable all...

I was recently speaking with the owner of a local tuner shop (Equilibrium Tuning) and in discussing MK7 turbo options he let me know that he plans to sell a drop in turbo upgrade for the platform and needed a someone to test it. Naturally I volunteered and am happy to report good results. The...
Has anyone moved from Eurodyne tune to Cobb? I’m working with a local shop on an upgraded turbo and Cobb tune (I prefer Cobb over ED for custom tuning) and the shop is having trouble getting the Cobb to work (base flash looks to apply but load targets stuck at stock levels). The owner of the...
I'm looking at a few turbo upgrade options for the 7R and had the opportunity to get a baseline dyno done. Hoping for a 100whp gain with a turbo and HPFP upgrade.
