Nice, those wheels are sick
Why's the i in GTi lowercase in your sig. Also, when mods?
Thanks, I didn’t know the i was lower case to be honest, although I think it has been mentioned before, anyway, I changed it for you. Not sure about mods just yet, may not do so at all with this one.🤔

Those wheels are quite nice in my opinion.
Keeping it stock is great. I love my stock gti, but not like I love my modded one (it makes me rip my hair out though).

Had the front bumper, headlights, hood and front fenders and a couple other spots covered with Xpel. It's a really clean install. I also treated the windshield with RainX and am waiting on the Megachip splash guards to arrive. Next week I'll put the winters on. Then it'll be ready for a Canadian winter.

I used to mount my gopro on a headrest mount in the mk7.5 for track and autocross, but that won't work in the mk8 due to integrated headrests.

I just got an adhesive mount and a 6.5" extension and I'm hanging the camera and mount off the overhead light in the rear.

I also got a 13" mount and tried angling it forward, but the longer mount, in conjuction with the not so solid mounting of the light allowed for a lot of vibration.

It's the best I've come up with to this point.

If this doesn't work, maybe I'll try mounting the camera from the rear headrest with the arm extending forward from the center headrest?

Installed a cheap JB4 because why not. The power is nice and fun, but the refinement is lacking (as expected). It’s very much an on-off switch 😂

Being on all-seasons doesn’t help, either. 💨

Tweaking some settings this weekend and trying a custom map that hopefully eases into the boost a little more gently.

Surprised how slow this thread has been.

034 camster plates came today. Mrmatto is going to help me install them. They're works of art.

Swapped to a Fender sub from a 2022 Tiguan - used a wiring harness adapter and mounted it upside down (with spare on top). Sounds a lot better than the HK sub.

Also installed the steering wheel module that fixes some errors and massages hand input parameters. I need to test it more but so far it’s working without errors.
