What did you do to your mk7 today?

[GTI Jake]

I had the V2 until I ripped it off while pulling into an unfamiliar gas station with an elevated entrance.

$550 in damage (broke the core support and accessory belt).

Video incase anyone else does that,

I still wanna build a chassis mounted aluminum splitter that ties into actual structure instead of plastic.

Maybe someday

Cool !, It does feel like a little more than that. I'll see if I can take some fresh logs soon.

My neighbor is the one with the CNC plasma, so it’s kinda out of my hands.

Need to talk him into completing other projects I’ve given him first lol

Put on a new set of Michelin Pilot Port 4S tires.

Also installed some vland tails. Using ZERO815’s instructions were perfect and made coding easy. I feel like it really updated the look of the backend.

I used to run those tires but tried the Conti' DWS06 and the grip way better than the Pilot's. I also have the VLAnd tails, they are definitely the cheaper way to get into LED/dynamic tails.

DWS06 grip better than the PS4S? Maybe under 45 degrees or in the snow.

yeah that's an unhinged claim. Makes zero sense in Texas. DWS06 are basically a "performance" winter tire.

Can't say they grip better, but holy crap do they last longer than PS4S.......

Well maybe Michelin has improved the Pilots since two years ago, but I could never get them to hook. I got the DWS06 and problem solved and now on second set. I'd be willing to try a current version of the PS4S when these wear out though, for comparison sake.

I just put DSW06+'s on my car, Not tuned yet but they hook a lot better than whatever was on my stocks. Quieter too

Are you thinking of the Pilot Sport AS4 rather than the Pilot Sport 4S?

I don't see how a ultra high performance all season (DWS06) can compare to a max performance summer tire PS4S) in warm temperatures.

This is what I thought he meant... The dws06 aren't even in the same league as the ps4s.

There's also the thought that by "hook" and "grip" he meant longitudinal, like on ramps. The ps4s are designed for lateral grip and need camber to keep the lateral g from rolling the tire. Certainly possible the dws06 "hook" better in a short straight line run due to their squishier sidewall, narrower track, and lower operating temp.
