That front emblem is still one of your best mods. Still looking great

[@LastHumansGarage]

i was just thinking that a couple days ago.. can't believe it doesnt have any chips or flaws yet. sure i could make 10 of them to sell.. but i wouldnt even make money.. the new emblem itself is $55-$60.. then 2 kinds of paint is another $25+... then my labor.. then shipping.. so ya, not worth it to make 5-10 on each one in the end. oh i didnt even remember the vinyl, which is another 20-30... lol

[@GTI_CHHA]

The pop and crackle tune sounds sweet bro. It's too much fun not too... Imagine how awesome it would sound with the TCR rear muffler... I think you can add to your mod wish list. It's not only the sound quality, it's especially the material quality. That stock muffler is just plain nasty as VW installed it for cost reasons only (in Mk6 days, VW still installed got the good quality).

[@LastHumansGarage]

naw.. im not interested in a TCR muffler.. lol. my car is just perfectly loud enough right now. wouldnt want it any louder.

[@GTI_CHHA]

@@LastHumansGarage To improve the sound quality you could consider to run the TCR muffler together with your Vibrant res, or in case still too loud, run it with both resonators (I forgot the name). You would be the only person in the world with such set-up! Could be pretty sweet ;-)

[@bangotango1008]

I trimmed the screws and put some surgical hose on the bolt ends to prevent damage. glad to see I wasn't the only one who though the foam was a bit too close.

[@donaldgeorge6656]

Sounds good and looks good. That was a nice run

[@LastHumansGarage]

thanks Donny, i agree.. its gonna be almost impossible to trade this car in... i dont know how i'll do it..

[@GTI_CHHA]

Bro... I am just running a K&N filter in the stock housing. I never bother to clean and re-oil it, I just replace it every year. Never had any issues with it.

[@LastHumansGarage]

ohh stock intake even? damn bro... come on now. i ran the afe dry for years, works great. but a *closed* intake is the key.. no stupid noises, and a bit better up top near redline.

[@LastHumansGarage]

although.... i wish it has more turbo spool noise for sure. my WRX had a way better turbo spool noise.

[@GTI_CHHA]

@@LastHumansGarage Yeah, a good intake can free up a few horses near the top of the rev range. I like stock look underneath the hood, my MOT inspector should get an OEM feeling when he decides to check a little further. A big open intake won't be helping.. ;-)

[@anthonyjohn.1601]

Hey LHG what tune are you running right now ive watched so many videos and you have tested every tune possible lol. EQT was my favorite! Great content. Been watching for two years

[@LastHumansGarage]

EQT is what I've run forever, aside from Unitronic at first. Thanks for watching.

[@anthonyjohn.1601]

@@LastHumansGarage GTI is afun car that can produce alot of gains with not much done to it. Car is looking spectacular keep it up!

[@nikgeorgiefski2535]

@@LastHumansGarage why did you switch from unitronic?

[@georgieporgie7523]

It will cost me £450 bucks for racing line air intake 👀👀. I’m presently running Ramair.

[@LastHumansGarage]

yes its one of the most expensive intakes.

[@georgieporgie7523]

@@LastHumansGarage I'm thinking about it, what I mostly about it is that you can change the filters without changing the housing..

[@georgieporgie7523]

I may jus change my air filter after this video, did I heard some popping?👏🏾🙌.

[@LastHumansGarage]

yes, pops and bangs are back

[@BrotherRobb]

Was the air filter that was on there the original stock filter? Ive got the same as your original one on my Mk 7 2014 golf R but cant seem to see this installed on other MK7 Rs. What brand are these filters ?

[@LastHumansGarage]

it is the VWR600 filter...

[@wafuasy7147]

Whats that switch you turned on? After starting the car?

[@LastHumansGarage]

disable start stop

[@one2yipyip]

Would you consider comparing the MST replacement too? 😁

[@LastHumansGarage]

naw..

[@thevuntzer]

What was the thing you clicked in the little compartment that covers the fuse box before the ride?

[@thevuntzer]

Ah I just read what that is below. Nvm. Great vid though!

[@AustinPetDetective]

The foam filters don’t last, cotton ones are better.

[@LastHumansGarage]

agree, i went to cotton afterwards

[@williambarker4772]

Silly question: What was that red light you switched on in the hidden compartment on the left of the steering wheel? Thank you. wmb

[@LastHumansGarage]

Mr. Barker, that secret switch is my custom rally style fog lights behind the lower grill. If you look through the 382 video playlist, I have a few videos dedicated to that project.

[@williambarker4772]

Thank you. Looks neat. I will search for the videos. I appreciate all your work. wmb@@LastHumansGarage

[@LastHumansGarage]

@William Barker episode 180 is part 1, then ep. 181 and others after it. this will get you started mate. its my favorite mod on the car.. and it wont pass inspection each year.. so i have to remove my bumper every year for 1 day.. to remove them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJO2qqFrm9R9apI

[@GiuseppeBusso7]

Great video mate. So, i'm interested to buy the R600. With foam or cotton filter?

[@LastHumansGarage]

cotton only. i got both my mine w foam and ended up replacing both with cotton. Foam doesnt last long at all.

[@GiuseppeBusso7]

@@LastHumansGarage they say about better performance with foam. Did you notice any difference?

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@GiuseppeBusso7 foam flows a tiny bit more but not noticable in real world.

[@GiuseppeBusso7]

@@LastHumansGarage thanks for the info

[@timbrown9731]

God, that's right wepon R lol

[@rogerea337]

What is the red boton left sde? min 9:08

[@LastHumansGarage]

my secret stealthy yellow fog lights hidden behind the grill. my magnum opus. my most magnificent accomplishment on this car.

[@timbrown9731]

No bro, I don't wanna go for a ride your driving scares me... jk
