What did you do to your mk7 today?

[dtfd]

What’s next?

https://racequip.com/product/racequip-pro20-full-face-helmet-snell-sa2020-rated-2/ + looking to get onto a track day somewhere localish

Other than that I'm just keeping an eye out for the BMP dynamic headlights and the APR PCV blockoff/catch can combo to go on sale. Hopefully some good deals for either labor day or thanksgiving.

Big turbo I wouldn't do until I pass a MA inspection with my current set-up.

Big turbo > everything

Finally upgraded to an IS38 and upgraded my Unitronic tune to the IS38 file. She's quick for sure, but Im not happy with the gain. Took the g/f for a ride and her reaction was hilarious. To me though, its just a "meh." Guess I need to resume Garret Stage 1 plans.

Finally broke it at the track.

The car felt amazing all day and then all the sudden shit the bed in the 4th session. My clutch dropped to the floor on an aggressive 2nd-3rd shift. I "shifted" back to neutral and coasted off the track.

I've owned my car for 5 years, 68,000 miles and ~15 track days so far. This is the first real issue I've ever had with the car and the only time It has ever left me stranded.
Anyway, AAA said it would be close to midnight before they could get someone out so I had to leave my car at the track. Ill have to go back to figure something out tomorrow.

The shop finally got a chance to look at my car today. After a 6 days of the car sitting my official diagnosis is:

"confirmed hydraulic fluid leaking from bell housing area.
rec to remove transmission assembly and inspect clutch & slave cylinder."

I was quoted $1200 to tear it down and fix whatever it may be plus whatever the parts will cost. I dont have another car and I need to get to work so I dont have much of a choice. I'd much rather have a VW specialist do this but my trusted go-to shop, NGP, is booked into October. I guess this is what I get for tracking my daily. I went ahead an approved the quote and hope to hear back tomorrow.

I was pretty bummed so I went and checked out a new Supra today. They want a $1000 (fully refundable, no-commitment) deposit for an order with an expected delivery of January. I am very temped.

Finally got my car back today. Sadly It ended up costing $1800 to drop the trans and replace the slave cylinder + do an alignment. When I orginally installed the SB Stage 3 daily, I only paid $800 to do the entire clutch. Not sure why this cost me so much.

Not worth it, right?

I can''t take credit for that - that belongs to @PowerDemon . He did that to me when I was choosing turbos and was the primary reason I bought a hybrid. God bless him.

Well sure, more than I had with minimal investment.

That would be the case if the unitronic upcharge wasn't so great. 800 bucks for people already in their eco system. It's bullshit.

I called Unitronic and got the cable/dongle and the tune for 300, being existing customer.
