What did you do to your mk7 today?

Where did you get the bushing from? I already have the Sigma six bookmarked somewhere.

I have the shifter cable bushings on top of the transmission , the Vw Audi short shifter, a weighted shift knob as well as the diesel geek super pin and I’m still not 100% happy with it

The sigma 6 is definitely next on my list for sure- there is still slop unfortunately

Yeah the full diesel geek setup with the sigma, pin, bushing,zip tie hack def. Do lots of tightening up and get you that solid notchy shift. I just wanted that extra mile. (And prefer the look, and I never loved my stubby low look I had with the stock setup)

That looks pretty good. I priced everything on DieselGeek site and its like $350 or so. Not too bad really.

I love this!

I got these magnetic under cabinet lights for the trunk/hatch area. They are usb-c rechargeable and motion activated with a night mode so they only come on in the dark. I added velcro to the magnetic mounts to make charging easier.

I used to have a strip light under mine, but it wasn't rechargeable. I put mine inside the rear vertical lip of the shelf. That way, the light was shining away from me when the hatch was open. I'm ordering some of your lights. Thanks for sharing!

Well it was a few weeks ago but I put on a Stealth Hitch https://stealthhitches.com to use my new bike rack from Quikr Stuff. It required removing the rear bumper cover but now I can mount any 2" rack or accessory and when I pull off the lower portion of the hitch my car looks stock. Yes, the hitch was over $500 but I'm very happy with the result.

Swapped from ST-41 to ST-60 and they feel great. I have a stancy boi friend who needed a smaller caliper under his fancy three piece wheels so we traded.

I also just saw that my tires are made in Mexico... God damn it they are already f'ing expensive for a set without the tariffs.

I pulled the trigger. Bull-X catted downpipe and Unitronix Stage 2. Pretty much what others have said - the bump from OEM to Stage 1 is very noticeable, but Stage 1 to Stage 2 is less noticeable. With that said, I am still super happy and its a nice feeling, when on the freeway and you mash the pedal.

Thanks to the guys at EMD, always a great experience with them

Just pick a tire size made in America.

Same tire 225/40-18 is made here & my Conti Extreme Force 200TW 235/35-18 are too.

Just gotta step up your Dull Men Club activity lol

Plus, rest assure that they will shift manufacturing here if there is a size that is not available in the US and it sells good. That's the whole point of the tariffs. The one I see becoming an issue is all the electronic manufacturing materials sold out of China... that will be a tough one for sure.
