Faulkner out in Mechanicsburg. Locals didn't want to dill and its only 75 minutes from me.
My son works there....likely too new to have helped your deal but he might be able to pull strings on service and what not down the road....

Grats on the :gorf: best of luck with it.....I plan on having one in about 12 months....
Can he get him out of a $600 alignment?

Second, not sure on the bleeder block. I don't see an issue with the clutch :dunno:

I am getting a shift knob doe
You don't notice any inconsistencies? I felt like the grab points were different all the time before putting the bleeder block in. Rolling 5mph starts from first gear are still annoying but the clutch actually behaves the same on every change now.

Strangely enough I never noticed it in my GTI.

I think a custom Raceseng sphereology in blue and silver would be sweet. :waxer: knob doe.

Very expensive for sure. I'd consider one if they started to do leather stuff.

If I were real arts and craftsy I'd buy some leather and try to wrap one of their delrin covers. That might make it too thick doe.

Kind of surprised no one has tried it yet.

Right. The bleeder block eliminates those inconsistencies. In day to day driving that was incredibly annoying.
I havent really noticed that. I just installed a pedal stop like week one.

It drove me nuts. Clutch pedal is definitely more consistent. Who knows. I probably have a mutant :gorf:

I thought about installing it but really cant be bothered to bleed the system. I'll really try to see the release point differences.

I didn't realize it required coding.

I should probably get an obdeleven.

Worth it. The apps are 5/7
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head would be windows up and down from the fob. What else is there?

And was your armrest locked?

My armrest was open.

Windows open, a bunch of controls around the active assist and shit, memory on heated seats, all sorts of going home light options, soundkarator levels, valve control, throttle response (I don't know what it does and haven't done it but it's there)
:notbad: I'll have to find the master threads again.

And GayPR released some tunas for 2019's so I imagine others aren't far behind.

Does it even do anything on the R? Other than make the clutch slip? You bought the "tuned car"

+80hp is pretty significant.

Just a stage 1 tune turns them into monsters. DSG cars especially.

Yeah, not installed yet but boy is it pretty
Wow. Is that the translucent finish? Which knob is it? I was thinking maybe going with the contour.

Slammer Translucent. The bloo matches the R ambient bloo super well. It's HEAVY.
I got the Raceng Slammer on a group buy on the dead forum years ago in stainless..... heavy as hell but is really affected by temp.......

Curious to how it would match lapiz. Slammer doesn't look too big inside the car? Contour sorta matches the shape of oem knob.

Stage 1 is about a 60 hp and 50 tq jump. Just like the GTI clutch issues pop up at stage 2, rarely stage one
I've heard things stating otherwise. We have the GTI clutch. Once you go past 350 ftlbs, you have passed the limit of lcutch.
