From China with Love

Re: From China with Love

Lowered the front end one last thread last night(thanks for the wrenches witchcraft), then went to HPA with my buddy to get a 4motion controller installed today. We came across the owner Marcel's scirocco, and the award winning FT565 TT that's in gran turismo, TT was trailered in from Utah just for a service! Funny how my Jetta was originally from there too.
One tech heard my car recognized it and asked if it's a 3.2, and then the whole team came out to check out the car to see what all the fuss is about, including Marcel and Darrel, got a lot of praises from them for the work I've done myself. Super happy about it and I've got some plans with them that's not a turbo kit lolol. It's nice to see a shop with so many actual performance cars in the works for once.

Re: From China with Love

Thanks guys! I just went to weigh my car with my friends and found out my Jetta is 1410kg with 17kg of gas, so 1393kg(3076lbs) dry with 870kg on the front axle, that means a 61.7% weight distribution to the front, which is close enough to the ideal 60/40 distribution for FF cars. For reference stock 2.8 GLI is 1460kg so I'm pretty darn happy with the result. My friend's mk4 r32 with 17inch oz superlegerras and 2.5inch catback weighed in at 1500kg dry(3306lbs) with 62.1% weight in front. My friend's 430hp Mk7 manual only weighed in at 1470kg dry, surprised at how light the new R's are! A DSG mk7R weighed 30kg more.

Waiting for the shop to call me to pick up the car, does anyone know if these will work on a Monsoon car? https://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen...ker/ES2857586/

I don't see why they wouldn't
