5 Things I Regret About My Mk8 GTI

[@chrispeveler1578]

So far ive put on a mbrp exhaust billetworkz shift knob the cts short shifter and a neuspeed intake i think im happy with all that and leaving the rest stock. On the short shifter im on the 20 percent reduction and it feels good debating on going with the 35 percent reduction

[@octane_media]

I will definitely say the higher reduction does take some getting used to it doesn’t always like to go straight into neutral sometimes it wants to just keep on going into gear

Is lowering springs is worth it? Not too rough in the road and no vibrations?

[@octane_media]

I like my lowering springs a lot , I have DCC so I didn’t want to get rid of that with coilovers.

@@octane_media great 👍 🙂

There wouldn't be a need for 2 jobs if the hunger for senseless modifications didn't exist. Hopefully one of those jobs becomes a career - otherwise there will always be 2 jobs. But, if you're referring to making "media" posts as a job, it's not - it's extracurricular unless it makes money.

They make a short shifter for the mk8 from diesel geek? Or is it just the mk7 model?

[@octane_media]

They do have one for the mk8 the pictures I used in the video are from their website !

[@benjamindippo]

I had his set up for my MK7 and currently my MK8 and they’re exactly the same. Feels amazing.

[@octane_media]

They are the same unit , cross compatible

[@octane_media]

My wheels are the culprit on mine it has been slowly pushing the fender out 🙃
