Renrubicer: Skeletons In The Closet

[swcrow]

One could argue the $1,500 I spent on going stage 2 in the last month was fixing the power and tcu tuning...

It actually does. Plus it gives you better gas mileage.

Don't worry though. I bought my MK7.5 with the presumption "Oh, I won't have to put anything into it, I can just carry over everything from my MK7 that I want", and yet I've still managed to put enough money into it where I could have bought an overpriced MK8 R...

That's why I bought the mk8 GTI. I had $10k of mods and maintenance planned for a car that was worth $19k, that already had $6000 into it.

Only plans for the mk8 are autocross wheels/tires, RSB (wish I'd swapped the old one), maybe an axle back, and a tune.

I can swap tune on and off the car, run GS for autocross and have a pretty quick street car with very few mods.

"Only plans"

Dangerous words.

Don't forget an intercooler. You're in FL bro, you need that.

So it can sit in his office for a year before it gets installed? It will be winter again and he won't need it.

Me: here's an amazing deal, I'll even toss a set of winter steelies and tires in for free

Rice: awesome thanks my dude

6 months later.......


Me: aw man just saw you're selling the Jetta after you made it awesome

Rice: yeah it's a sorority girl car

Me: dang, mind if I get those winter wheels back since my wife just got a Jetta

Rice: sure I'll sell them to you for $800


















NEVER AGAIN
