What did you do to your mk7 today?

[EpicTech]

Already gapped some EcoBoost ones.

*Seriously considering getting the MPI and a RS3 LPFP put in. I dont want to spin an IS38 outside of its efficiency map, but the car honestly feels like there is more top-end. I've got some fairly old gas in the tank from pre-clutch change that is just now getting to empty, plan to get some 93 Sunoco and mix with another round of Lucas Oil Octane Booster and see how she feels.

I figured Houston would have plenty of E85 around? There's way more power with more timing. Can obliterate those tires.

When I lived in Houston there was shockingly little E85, especially where I was.

Surprisingly, now that I live in Tulsa I have E85 stations all over the place.

Ceramic Coated my new wheels with Gyeon Rim at my dads yesterday. Went on super easy and the added gloss is awesome. Install scheduled for Saturday.

yeah once i was doing the coating and really getting in the spokes i realized how much back pain i just saved myself in the future and I'm super anal about my car being clean so hopefully this should makes the wheels a breeze. Usually takes me an hour or two to get the whole car spotless and waxed.

Eventually I want to coat my own car, figured wheels were a decent introduction to coatings and the application process. Now I just need to learn how to polish and correct paint before I try doing a whole coating but doing the wheels gave me a bit of confidence when it comes to coating. Gonna do my friends wheels once hes ready to put them back on his car.

MIB2 and screen retrofit, just waiting for remote coding.

There is a Sunoco with really good E85 right near me, but I have thought about running ignite red because I can get a deal on it. Once coils are raised and I get the meatier tires up front, I will then get the MPI and LPFP, and then we will see about a matching tune? Maybe it will push me over 400 lol.

I can't imagine ignite red being anywhere near $2/gallon.

More like $20 a gallon

No affiliation with this car or the owner, but it looks like a very nice example for anyone thinking about adding a Mk4 to their fleet.

as much as I love mk4s I can't see 10k for one :/ though that is a very decent example without a doubt.

Started the coilover install. This one's not quite fully seated, I think I'm going to need to set the height lower and set the damping to full soft, and then continue to wiggle and fight with it. Thankfully I've got all the time in the world, so there's no rush. We'll see how cold it is over the next few days, and how motivated I am.
