    Let's talk Wide Body for racing...

    Thought I would start a discussion about wide body options for those of us that wish to use it to improve track times and handling. The last year, and especially the last 2 events I went to, I have been approached by several Nationals winning Autocrossers and was told that with the times I am...

    Throttle Body Spacer for MK7 GTI?

    Anyone know if they make a TB spacer for the MK7 yet? Water/Meth port is a bonus. I found a spacer on CTS' website but it doesn't fit the EA888.3. Been searching... Anyone find one yet?

    Please excuse my excitement in advance... :wave: I started doing Hillclimb Racing http://www.nhahillclimb.org, with my old Focus ST, last year after finding out about them through our local autocross club. Needless to say, it is dangerous, it is difficult, and it is a f***ing blast!. :screwy...

    Was invited to my local dealer next week.. Why??

    I stopped by my dealer yesterday to take a peek at their trinket room in the parts department for something cool to celebrate my GTI becoming an evil modded beast. When I walked out, just about the ENTIRE sales staff was surrounding my car checking it out. They asked questions, I answered...

    MK7 GTI vs. Magnum R/T Modded

    APR 1.2 Update Out!

    Went and got the APR 1.2 update today and to recode VCDS for ESC Defeat. I do have to say, the 1.2 update feels much better and smoother than 1.1 so far. The power delivery is SOLID, and feels good through the whole rpm band. The upper RPM band is definitely more responsive as well. I look...

    Custom Exhaust Mod!

    Well, I was looking at all the exhausts available for the Mk7 and couldn't see paying all that money for one so I, with the help of my local "Muffler King" modified the stock Mk7 exhaust like I did with my old Focus ST which turned out great... So.... We cut the rear cat and resonator out and...
