Thanks for the note! We were hoping to see some Rt 66 attractions. However, the trip is going to be too fast-n-furious to spend much time there. Perhaps another time.

Cannonball run? Lol

Can’t wait.

You heard anything about the US release?

You heard anything about the US release?

No, right now it’s only the far side of the world with the release. They better bring them to the US.

Hit a milestone.

I've only had the car since 32k miles, but here's to another 50k (and up) more!

I have those same paddles on my car. Love them! Just out of curiosity How expensive was the scrap yard wheel? I'm looking to buy one and re wrap it myself.

Purchased the wheel for $70 at AutoHaas parts in NJ, but that was way cheaper than the other GTI wheels they had on sale. The buttons were broken on mine so I essentially paid for the core + silver GTI frame and shift paddle modules.

Winter fit put on today Chunky Michelin X-Ice Snow 215/50/17's on some replica Pretoria wheels (I couldn't find them in gloss black so the silver will have to do). These beefy tires will be great for the purportedly extra snowy winter we're going to have in the Ottawa Valley. Very little road noise too, which was a pleasant surprise. The morning snow kind of took away the freshly-washed look my car had yesterday, but he's still looking great!

50,000 miles and still 200 til empty? That's some awesome gas mileage!

Fun facts for the OEM+ crowd

Do 200tw tires

Found out that the digital speedo stops at 160. The analog one stops at 160, but figured the digital one would keep going.

See a couple lol emojis. Just wondering what's funny. Do I amuse you? . No really. Was this something that was glaringly obvious or something? I had asked this question before and the digital speedo, but no one could give an answer or maybe they could but didn't, so just found out first hand.

You show that guy who's boss.

Installed Southbend stage 3 clutch and Wavetrac.

Can't really give feedback yet as break in is 1000 miles.

Only thing I can say is pedal effort is about 100% more. It's pretty heavy compared to OEM which was admittedly too light. Got used to it within the first few miles of driving. Did seem to engage much more smoothly than OEM. With OEM, seemed like there was too much guess work of engagement point and timing for smooth shifts. Much easier now.

Very little chatter. Or maybe not sure what I'm listening for. Honestly with radio on, didn't notice anything, until I turned off radio and AC. Then I noticed a slight chatter just off idle...maybe??? Not the best when it comes to nvh and sounds.

it should feel like 20% more push now, break in sucks, I really didn't like mine. Also upgrade to motul gear 300 fluid will help the clutch chatter.
