My repair shop who is usually good messed up and the engine went not long after. The mk6 was fault proof and I'm sure the 7.5 is yet again streets ahead.

[@PapaTroll86]

I think the badass JRZ 3-ways had a little something to do with the love too, haha. For track cars, my philosophy is to spend the money on a good, high quality suspension/chassis setup first, then build the car around it. I am more excited to unbox coilovers on delivery than a turbo. And on a car that will see track time, they should cost more too. For a car that will have a lot of track duty, a good set of 3 or 4-way adjustables is the BEST possible major mod, and they will give you the ability to make drastic changes to the balance and feel of the car with relative ease. Even for a car that is on a budget and will spend a lot of it's time on the road and just do some weekend-warrior track time here and there, I would still start with a quality set of 2-ways. It's easy to make the big changes you need for the specific track you are going on, and then set them back up for the 9-5 after. No sacrifice, faster laps, more fun, feel and connection with the car and then back to the perfect feel on the street. It's sad to see all these awesome, $15,000-$30,000 track and street builds on YT, just to find out they have crappy $1,000 coilovers and can't properly utilize the build on the track or street.

[@OnkyoGrady]

Coming back way later to follow up for no real reason. I have so much time on so many MQB GTI's. The biggest differentiating feature they can have is the front "LSD", which is actually a haldex clutch on one of the axles. What it does, is have full control of that axle's ability to turn, and by manipulating one side it can provoke the open diff in the middle as it wishes, up to 100% committed to either side. This feature feels like black magic on corner exits and is indisputably the key to getting the fastest lap times and best snow traction in these cars. If you don't have that you are stuck with XDS, which does the same thing but only has access to the cars ABS to tweak the center diff's torque bias. These systems feel like dog$hit while they are working as we're all well aware. All that being said the best GTI for almost all street driving is one without the "LSD" clutchpack. The reason is steering feel, as while that haldex on the front axle is active it utterly mutes any possible feedback sent your way. It literally instantly quells all torque steer that the car was beginning to demonstrate, to give you some idea of how dramatic that transformation is.
