My 16 R

[dannys87]

Hey guys, just ordered an MY 16 R in limestone grey due to dock in Melbourne on the 20th of November.

VW's are new to me as previously owned MY07 STI with around 280kW on e85.

How did you find the switch? Did the mod bug bite hard?

My STi was heavily modified, hoping to somewhat avoid that if possible 😂

its very hard. i only lasted 7,000k's =[
already got APR tuned stage 1 and a intake.
according to the installers i gained about 90kw at the engine,
making it just shy of the 300kw mark.
Now the car is mental.

haha my friend, i wish you good luck.

Hahaha damn I'm looking at aesthetic mods for now then I'll look at a tune etc.

Hopefully the conversion is seamless and I don't miss the power too much

i fried my clutch on the Evo, doing a 6k launch against a HSV Charged Maloo.
After that race. it died. had to get it towed to the mechanics, cause i couldnt get into any gear,

went for a carbon ceramic push button clutch. heavy as hell! =/
