What did you do to your mk7 today?

new brakes, wheels, and tires! didn’t have a 14mm triple square so couldn’t do the rears. WTF is wrong with torx, or allen, or hex, or reverse torx, or 12 point hex? why do we also need triple square?
then I detailed the interior and maybe I’ll go wash it now

oh and I got this gforce gadget thing for christmas so hooked it up to play around. kinda cool, not sure about accuracy. it used gps to calculate all kinds of stuff. to do a hp/tq run you start in 2nd gear at 2000rpm, hit the button and floor it until you hit redline then let off the gas while still in gear until it says done.
my car is completely stock engine wise. I’m not sure if these are corrected numbers for drivetrain losses, probably are but I need to download the manual and read it.

That’s pretty close to what most stock Gti’s put down on a dyno.

Added as second nozzle (pre intercooler) to my water/meth injection and added a ethanol content gauge and a meth flow failsafe gauge and set up.

Did it yesterday but installed a new turbo inlet elbow, intake pipe, and turbo muffler delete. The intake pipe was a bit too long so had to trim about an inch off it.

Reinstalled the Crosstour 1080P front and rear dash cam that I had in the former R-Line into the GLI. This was the worst part. Double stage clips on the A-Pillars is a PAIN! Did a complete hardwire at the same time...Because clean is mean!
Part 7.
Clutch and rear main seal install completed. Workshop now suitably wrecked. All tools covered in various dirt and fluids, one million shop rags used, old t-shirts now must be turned into new shop rags.
Went on a 20 mile shakedown trip earlier this morning. No weird noises, nothing feels off, no oil, tranny or other fluid leaks... yet. I'll have to deliberately drive for no reason to get through the 500 mile break in period if the quarantine doesn't get lifted.
New clutch seems to work perfectly fine. Definitely harder effort than stock by about 25%. Bite point is just about in exactly the same spot, maybe a tiny bit lower.
Was this worth the savings in labor charges to diy... I honestly don't know..

Hopefully you've got some fun roads nearby! I had no problem putting 500 miles on the car in a weekend just driving around national parks and backroads near me on nice summer days. Congrats on finishing it up, that looked like a lot of work
At least now you have a clutch install under your belt. So after everything, would you pay $350 for an indy to install it or DIY?
$350? I've never once heard someone say they only paid $350 in labor for a clutch install on this car.
There's nowhere I'd trust to do it right for $350. If I thought that was possible, I'd have paid for it in a second. Anywhere reputable, around here at least charges at least double that. Most indy places a clutch + RMS could run $1000 easy and a dealership is charging $1500 afaik.
I paid $350 for my install...
