Hey everyone,
Very happy to finally have a MK7 to contribute to the forums! I had been waiting a little over two months for the dealer to find a 5 Speed TSI in Tornado Red with the convenience package. The team at VW of Peterborough here in Ontario did an amazing job finding one for me, and I couldn't be happier!
As it is brand new and being my very first new car that is worth "building" this will be slow build, but will feature quality parts. I wanted to start a thread to document the work I put into it over the next years to come, so I hope you all enjoy the content I provide with this, plus this forum could use some more TSI content haha.
Current plans:
Wheels:
Been looking for some S4 Peelers, Durbans or Lagunas although I am also leaning towards some Konig Oversteers as they are in my price range new and I love their look.
Suspension:
VWR/Driver Gear springs to help keep my warranty and comfort.
Rear sway bar as the car tends to roll a lot in stock form.
Engine:
Engine mods won't happen for quite some time, as I am just enjoying the stock power and getting to learn the car, but we will see how long that lasts.
Exhaust:
I've been looking at several catbacks now, but I may try to find a GTI rear valence for the look as well it opens up a few more options.
Transmission:
Going to leave the trans alone, I really enjoy the comfort of the throws and shifts but a nice BFI or Euro Impulse knob is something I would like to get.
I look forward to everyone's input and comments, I am super stoked to finally have this car!
