What did you do to your mk7 today?
- Thread starter GTA5
- Start date
That trans housing looks great powder coated.
Bet you’re looking forward to getting her back on the road!

Hmmm, not seeing it in the picture but I assume drilled this out for neutral position sensor, as needed for start/stop retrofit.

Yeah it’ll be nice to get 30mpg again after months daily driving our Suburban.
It’s normally the go to on my weekends for mx & camping, but I racked up approximately 4,500 miles on it since the GTI went down.
It’s actually still a undrilled port, the shop I had Cerakote the cases just masked off all the machined flanges per my request.
Our GLI has start/stop, which I deleted with a harness because it drives me nuts lol

Ugghhh, such privilege... to be able to choose to delete start/stop
.What about us (@2018gti and myself) who have not the option? Did you consider us when you were not drilling that out? Our feelings, our deep-ish desires?
I think we know the answer...

Found someone's old Kobalt 3/8 13mm deepwell socket in my bumper 
Been needing one actually... I can only find my 1/4 in one

Fuuuuu….
Hard to see in the pictures, but my POS garage door started closing as I was backing in. Not sure why, my POS opener buttons are not working well. Maybe I double clicked?
Anyways closed on top of the hatch wing and roof. Kind of pissed off at this. I hate backing in, but this damn driveway and parking kind of necessitates it.

Picked up a set of TracTive Electronically Adjustable race dampeners... This should be interesting....

TCR body and composite doors have come along way...
I think you're gonna need some spacers and really long lugs to push those wheels out a bit
My first thought too
I'm here for the reviews once you get them in.

Worked on it a bit more this morning.
Bled the clutch line
Installed the dog bone & axle cups
Installed the EQT TOP with some fresh ClampCo T bolt clamps.
Pulled the wheels off (wheel bearings coming this afternoon).
Also had Mini7 swing by to pick up his new 4” DP & talked a good while about cooling stack development & other track related mods.

Got any thoughts/opinions on the EQT TOP/pipe kits in general? Not planning to go any bigger than IS38 so I don't know if it's worth it. Money isn't as much a factor as headache, I'm fine with spending money on something IF it's not likely to be a point of frustration in the future.

Really not needed unless going hybrid. Even with 5 bar sensors and pushing the 38 on e85, stock should be able to keep up.
Install on charge pipes isn't hard, just a mild PITA.
