What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Clem604]

Installed the HPA IS38+ today, I'm really happy with the extra power.

RSe10's? Looking at these but in bronze or Satin black. Are these 8's or 8.5's?

RSe10 on 18x8.5

... but I forgot about the metal tabs under the plastic cowl...

Just reminded me I need to order these three tabs. Dealer didn't re-install them after changing my struts, along with not reinstalling several screws on my skid plate. They never responded to my emails/calls about them. Needless to say, not my service center anymore.

Fun fact: My 2017 only came with two of the three metal tabs/clips. That, or the dealer removed and lost one in the PDI, but I wouldn't think removing that panel would be part of the inspection. I've never gotten around to getting a new one.

Did you figure out how to do the front of the rear subframe? Having issues myself.

Just ordered the Trackslag 4" DP. I'll get a dyno run before it's installed to see where my boost starts currently and and after dyno run to verify the DP makes it spool sooner.

@dlhoovler when are you getting that last one? Since you know it's missing you should let it bother you enough to find the part numbers for us, haha.

Installed a new button


And installed my visors, terrible pictures of my Golf S black interior conversion right about now...

Finally decided on new rims and ordered those, since you can't have silver rims with a Nardo grey wrap. That's just heresy.

They're some no name brand, so they were cheap as hell. Like $600 for all 4. Vors TR37. Definitely... "heavily inspired" I guess you could say, by the Volk TE37. With the added bonus of being less for a set of 4x than a single Volk rim...

Still 18x8.5, with a slightly lower offset, so will actually sit more flush than my current Neuspeeds. They probably weigh a ton, but that doesn't bother me at all.

So if anyone in the New England area is interested in a well loved set of silver Neuspeed RSE11's for pretty cheap, let me know. Depending on how long these take to ship, should have a set up in the classifieds within a couple weeks.

Those look like my Motegi wheels.

blackout side badges

Finally got the new APR intake in the mail after a 3 month wait. The filter is a mega chungus, its huge!

Its a really tight fit against the (+) terminal cable if you have an oversized battery

They look custom painted, possibly plastidip. You can buy replacement black\red ones.

Overall, it's a pretty common basic 5/6 spoke design. I'm extremely picky though, and there was an aspect of many others I didn't like. Like those Motegi's for example, not a fan of the wording on the spoke, as well as multiple lug holes in the center. The Enkei T6S was a consideration, but Fitment Industries told me they were discontinued in the size\color I was looking for.

Nice. These are very close the Saga’s.

I got the Motegi because they only weigh 17 lbs in the 17" size.
