MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

[thelateoctober]

With your limited access to decent fuel, your only options are, in order of easiest to most difficult:



1) JB1/4 (can run logs and make a perfect setup for your situation)



2) water/meth injection.



3) getting a 50 gallon drum of E85 every month or two from wherever you can (might not even be possible where you live), and do your own mixes



I would suggest you run the 87+E10 fuel option from your station. a bit of ethanol helps.

Is something like Lucas octane boost a legit option? The guys at Burger said they can do an 87 tune for me if I wanted.

I’ve browsed the Internet and the search function to a pretty good extent and wanted to see if there is a formal write-up anywhere on properly mounting a true downforce generating rear wing for track use. I also reached out to Nine Lives Racing and they have not done anything with a MK7 yet either. The cleanest solution I have seen so far is the RLMS APR GTI, but I have not seen any clean images of their mounting brackets. Would love it if anyone could help point me in the right direction.

What is the smallest wheel size you can use on a non PP GTI again? Is it 16 or 17?

16 steelies will fit on non PP brakes.

Sinclair. I think you guys said it's 'offbrand', but it is top tier.

I am planning on moving back to southern california around June next year. With that in mind, I'm holding off on buying new tires. When in SoCal, is it fine if I just buy Summer tires and keep them on year round? Would all weathers be better?

What brand of gas do y’all run in Las Vegas?
