Unfortunately what this demonstrates is that a 2018 R requires $1.5-$2K worth of ramz over the purchase price. Because the stock wheels are :gtfo:

It's IMO a great idea to immediately remove and store the stock :ramz: and questionable OE tarz on most new cars, that way they're pristine when :plac: day comes. Additionally you get to enjoy lighter wheels and better tarz for your ownershit duration. Win/win

What stock tarz came with it? The P Zero's are serviceable. I definitely won't be buying them again but they're okay. Continentals aren't great if I remember right.

I think you can do the fender screw mod to get some more room in the fender.

I see forum dudes running 245. Possibly a fender screw mod which takes 5 minutes a side on the fronts if you get any rub at all, which I doubt.

I specifically seeked out the contis. They are 5/7 for daily driving, and I have yet to challenge their limits in any non-winter conditions. If they last a long enough time and wear evenly I might get them again.

Yes they are. They were (are?) probably on the 'Tex, too.

I'm likely going this way. A mild tune, 50hp/tq which doesn't push things too hard, and doesn't fry my stock clutch. Going APR Stage1 is instant clutch nuker.

Oh wow. I remember those trolls. IIRC they're still trolling the dead zone big turbo thread.

BMW douchebags spam posting a VW forum. :rolleyes:

It's ok, the BMW interiors aren't superior, and we know it.
I vaguely remember them posting pics of themselves to show how cool they were.

I was really hoping on the mk7.5 they did a revised sachs clutch, but I cant find ANY part numbers to back this up. i also dont have access to current model ETKA and couldnt find anything for 2018 online ETKA. Its crazy to think they would make 70+ hp over the GTI and use the same clutch.

Im also curious about the slight 10hp power bump the R got in europe for 2018. How would that not trickle to US especially since the Rs are all built in the same factory.

In Europe, its power rating will jump from 292 to 306 hp (228 kW) thanks to an increase in boost from 17.4 to 20.3 psi, along with new software and wastegate settings.
I better get the tuna.

Yeah, I photoshopped Lou Maiuri into Johnny Bravo. :lol:

There was a thread on dead zone mk7 I saw a few months ago that devolved into them posting about how good they and their wives look. Inckuding pictures. It was a thread about swirl marks.
