Figured it was about time I should start recording down everything I've done to the car:

Car is a 2017 GTI S w/DSG, so no LSD or nice brakes, or moonroof to leak.

Going to include some soon! Don't have a lot of the process, just thought to start recording it now. Have to wash it first lol

Just some random pics I was able to find

Hubcentric too. The finish is super peely though - probably getting them powder coated this winter

I love the 17" on the MK7

Getting the SM-10s in 17x9 next year at some point. 17's just look better than 18s. The ride is also so much better with the 17s

Might be getting the forged ones instead on sale .

LCAs, Engine/Trans/Dogbone installed. My ass vibrates at idle, but hopefully that’ll mellow out some.

Yikes. Build thread is now irrelevant. Bought @mto386's R, and now I'm parting out. Keeping some parts, selling a lot of them. Feel free to drop me a message if you're interested in anything. Most of the fueling mods/turbo have already sold.

Why buy a modded to the hilt car just to sell off all the parts? Why not just buy a stock R and save yourself the hassle?

Edit; ah ok, parting your existing car... read that wrong.
