What did you do to your mk7 today?

Dropped off for fuel recall finally

 

[ChristopherNeil]

Had two screws from my Aerofabb sideskirts back themselves out on the leading edge of the driver's side. Replaced said screws with some pop rivets and had to tighten nearly every single other screw, as they weren't even hand tight anymore. (For) now they're solid.

Uploaded new Strat DSG IS38 tune…..waaaaay different than EQT and love it…. Doesn’t shift as early and drops gear earlier with less gas

I'll have to check mine. Good to know, I hate that they use a flat bottomed screw as opposed to a pointy one.

Continued to fool around with the tune and finally turned off the soundaktor, and set XDS weak and VAQ 'traction'. Car is a whole different animal and I love it.

It cooled off over weekend and was quite nice outside, so I took advantage of that and worked on the rear wing, started over and sanded everything back down and laid the silver paint down. I let that dry then got the part to paint black taped off and ready to go. That is where I left off with that. Went for a drive and still noticing brake pedal slack at initial travel. Tried clearing the error for the airbag light but that was short-winded as it came right back on. My only guess is I missed something when the Recaros went in. It still amazes me at how fast my GTi is compared to a normal car. I didnt get on it, but even half throttle and a couple seconds of boost is loads of fun.

Keep us posted if you ever figure out the brake pedal slack at the top; mine has had the same since the brakes were first bled last year and so far nothing anyone has tried has corrected it.

Will do, it's going to the Euro specialist shop here in town that did my clutch. I have personally seen them work on a Gallardo and a older Ferrari, and these guys have an awesome reputation. They take pics of whatever they find and diagnose and email them to you. I am taking the GTI to them to put in the new Hawk pads and diagnose the brake pedal here in the very near future.

Normally that’s the case, especially being in Race City. I got absolutely smoked by a little girl who races WRC once lol.

Being 100lbs lighter helps too.

Took the seats out and cleaned under rails, very satisfying https://photos.app.goo.gl/cL6FJ3MemLKoruaJ9

The rear wing is officially two-tone reflex silver and black. I will be shooting the clear coat tonight after work. It looks pretty cool and is not even on the car yet lol.

Replaced a shitty aftermarket cone filter. Came apart at the adhesive.
