What did you do to your mk7 today?

Track day at Thunderhill East yesterday! Tough conditions being 105F and smoky out but car held up pretty well.

That looks like a blast. I felt your stomach drop all the way across the internet at the 1:01 mark lol.

Yea haha, that turn is blind, and if you carry enough speed you’ll briefly go airborne. There’s also a big dip in the pavement that will unsettle the car if you hit it at the wrong angle. Requires full commitment. IMO a much harder/scarier corner than Corkscrew at Laguna.

Finally installed my Helix last night and laid down some sound deadening in the hatch area and under the rear seats.

If anyone has done the Helix install and didn't use their Helix badge, I'd cover the few bucks to ship it if you'd be willing to send it.

Just a fresh bath


To the gti that was waiting in line behind me at the raging waters car wash up in NE Philly, I’m sorry I didn’t say what’s up. I was completely zoned out and sweating my balls off, I only had one thing on my mind. Finish drying the car off and gtfo of there haha

Go!

Checked to see why I’m getting so much brushing on dips/bumps. Found that I shifted my subframe. Now searching for a deadset kit.

Now yesterday, but I upgraded to the SuperPro rear swaybar for my Alltrack.

I’m installing the same part + superpro endlinks on my Alltrack tomorrow! Impressions?

Can certainly feel the difference, now it's pretty clear that I've got a lot of tire sidewall and I can definitely feel some more rotation from the car, which is nice. Noticeably less sluggish.

On the topic of the install though, I have two main things worth noting. I could actually swap the sway bar itself without dropping the exhaust at all, was just a bit of a puzzle to maneuver it out. Other thing is that the SuperPro end links were a bit too wide on the bottom mounting surface, so have a file handy.

Removed my IE V2 intake, and re-installed my stock intake (with high flow filter). The IE intake sounds great when you are on the throttle hard. But it's a bit much for me under more conservative driving scenarios. I don't really need blow off noises when puttering through my neighborhood lol
