    Easier heel toe for my arthritic ankle

    Nice looking pedal set up! I agree that this mod makes a world of difference vs just the pedal spacer. Combined, I bet it would be perfect for street driving. Congrats!

    The Secret Santa 2023 Thread!

    @krs Guess what I found and opened today! Hell yes!!! I hunt for GTI artwork regularly and never find just what I want to get. This print is perfect. The fact that it's a) a 2-door, and b) a sweet metal print, just makes it that much better. Thanks so much! I was cleaning up our house...

    Brake Bleeding Adaptor

    Since I posted that in 2019, I have had multiple instances with Speed Bleeders not seating correctly and leaking fluid. Removed them and just use OE bleeders now.

    VIR Season Finale HPDE - December 9th and 10th

    So what's the typical temp and weather expected for that area at this time of year? @Redslaya I sent an email to the track (track@thscc.com) last week via email and asked a few questions but no one got back to me yet. I am still trying to make this event happen, and I am trying to get a...

    ST40 Brake Pad Reference Guide

    EDITED MY ORIGINAL POST TO ADD IN "AERO ROTOR, (NOT Wide Annulus AeroRotor)" The EBAY links below are what I bought. Looks like the price went up, but ~$550 for 2 new rings is still pretty good. If you reference these part numbers on the Zeckhausen website they come up as this...

    ST40 Brake Pad Reference Guide

    I did a bunch of research because I couldn't conceive of paying full price for the coated 355x32 ST rotors. What I found out...what everyone here probably already knows...is that all of ST's 355x32 AeroRotor (normal one...NOT Wide Annulus AeroRotor) replacement rings are the same, they just...

    Track TEMP DATA: IC and radiator combo data collection - ALL YOUR LOGS ARE BELONG TO US!

    Yeah, that's a huge difference in the cooling efficiency of your IC, Jake! Not going to insert an ECS joke here...that's overplayed ;)

    New MK7/MQB resource: www.datadrivenmqb.com

    I have this event penciled in right now too. Never driven VIR and have been dying to get down there.

    2017 GTi PP at VIR

    Definitely good advice! I have read Speed Secrets a few times and am on his mailing list, but I have never engaged him directly or joined a webinar. I definitely need to be more active with my learning.

    Boosting on a Budget- 19birel's MK7.5 Build

    Love to see the chunks of rubber still on your car from last Friday! Haven't washed mine off yet either :giggle:. I'd love to find a time to go for a ride, or swap cars for a drive, to see how the SAs compare to my Sports.

    2017 GTi PP at VIR

    This is my most recent realization from my last track day. I'm not IS38, but EQT stg 2 IS20, but still think that 320 or so HP is masking my inability to carry speed through a corner. I need to learn to corner better. My buddy driving a stock Focus RS with the exact same size/brand tire is...

    Boosting on a Budget- 19birel's MK7.5 Build

    I'll be there this Friday with @19birel and plan to log too. ECS FMIC, EQT Stg 2, stock cooling system. Pitt Race has 3 pretty long straights and it's supposed to be 80 degrees. Going tobe a fun day!

    Understanding the MK7 PCV function, retrofitting the MK8 PCV, and why catch cans are bullshit(IMO)

    This is a great info share. I have been swapping between PVC (winter months) and RL catch can (track months). I have not noticed the threads weakening, but I have only done the swap 2 times. @DerHase if you wanted a RL catch can system to play with, my last track weekend is 9/16-17 and I...

    2016 Golf R - 24k miles, MT, Adult owned, Well Sorted, OEM+, $26K OBO, NY Area

    Dang. I had a Tornado red '15 GTI and I refused to get black wheels because I thought it was going to be too flashy and/or stand out too much. This R looks so good that I immediately regret that past decision. GLWS

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Support group filled with enablers and hype-men. I love it.

    My knee pops with clutch pedals. Anyone else?

    My buddy teaches a type of functional range conditioning called CARs (this video isn't him, just a random knee CARs video I found). It has def helped me with some sticky/clicky movements for joints I don't use as much as I should. Maybe give it a try and if you like it just research it...

    Nice! You are going to love how it changes the handling.

    Freshly installed ST X Coilovers 😁

    Getting it aligned soon, right? Don't sleep on that! When the toe is out of whack it destroys tires quickly (lowering adds positive front and negative rear). I destroyed a brand new set of tires in 2 weeks once as I didn't find time to get it aligned.
