TUBULAR Control Arms For The TT! | Gorgeous Upgrade

[@jdub_vdub]

Sitting here eating a bowl of cereal and my roommate just blurted out “this guy is like your Saturday morning cartoon, you watch him every Saturday morning with your bowl of cereal”. 😅

[@HunterDirection]

Haha that makes me so happy to hear! I seriously appreciate that kind of support:) thank you so much!

[@ivangaldamez630]

That's a compliment. Saturdays are for our CARtoons!

Es increible cuanto futuro tiene el TT a pesar de tener tantos años es de los pocos autos traccion en las 4 ruedas de la actualidad.

Just found this channel, this is the third video I have watched in a row. I always work on the shade side first. Work out the bugs and find the tricks to the job. Then once I have tested the process go to the sunny side and do a speed run.

[@HunterDirection]

I appreciate the support! That's a really smart approach to working in the sun/shade. I think I will try that out tomorrow and see how I like it! I am glad to hear you are enjoying the videos!

@@HunterDirection I'm on a similar journey with my cars. I have a 05 legacy gt wagon I'm converting to a 6spd manual and 300+ whp and a 08 mkv gti. I like that I can relate to how you work on and approach modding your cars. If you keep posting I'll keep watching.

[@stevesloan6775]

Having a proper four wheel alignment is unexplainable really. maybe night and day is the analogy. :)

[@jamesstewart8229]

You need to drop the subframe on the vr6 3.2 to acess the front right control arm bolt because the engine is in the way

Keep them coming! Great vids

Hi from Italy, great vid. Doing some serious upgrades to my 2001 cabriolet, had her 12 years, second owner. She deserves a decent restomod... Already got the engine pretty sorted. Set of front AP calipers and rotors on it's way with matching grooved rears... Then my new OZ racing wheels will go on. Suspension is next on the list

[@HunterDirection]

Glad to hear you liked the video! Thank you for the support. Sounds like you've got a great project!

[@Al-qv5vs]

Another really good video. I love your easy-going way of explaining what you are doing. The TT scene is now well supplied with KZbinrs, AndyCharger and Chris Fix to name a couple of good ones. Keep up the good work

[@HunterDirection]

Thank you for the support! It means alot to me It's a really fun platform to work on for sure. It's cool to see how many people love it as well.

[@stevesloan6775]

Those arms look the business. My only advice would be to put some rubber boots on the rose joints. They have a tendency to crap out pretty quickly with day to day road driving. I’m currently installing double offset SuperPro bushes on my TT. They add a whole bunch of caster….and you just can’t have enough caster. Thanks heaps for all of your efforts. Great content. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀🍀🍀

[@HunterDirection]

The rubber boot idea is great! I'll start looking for some. Those bushings sound awesome! Being able to fine tune the caster is so nice. I really appreciate your support👌 thank you!

[@albertsiciliano4209]

We’ll now I guess I need to install my tubular control arms. Been waiting to finish some other mods first. I currently use the stock arms (replaced new 600 race miles ago). I have poly poly bushes in the front se toon and upgraded to power flex Heim joints in the rear. Keep up the mods!!

[@AlexSmith-ig9up]

Godspeed makes some that are half the price but for a Jetta and it looks like it would fit except for the fact the sway bar link on a Jetta bolts to the control arm but I think it would fit

[@stonewp]

Just an FYI since you’ve mentioned it in a few videos, but you only need to worry about torquing to spec when the car is on its wheels with bonded rubber bushings (oem style). Heim joints, poly bushings, tie rod ends, etc. don’t matter.

[@kevinsilveira6189]

Never heard of that company but those control arms do look good. The TT is definitely coming along great. Thanks for the video, keep us updated :)

[@HunterDirection]

I hadn't heard of them before stumbling on them either. They seem like great guys though! I'm glad you like the progress. Thank you for the support!

[@luisro7782]

whats the name of the company thats makes those control arms, they look very well made

[@jdowning1221]

I’m getting ready to order my EuroLogic control arms. Do you remember the measurements to get them close to stock?

[@andycharger]

Excellent as always Hunter. We still need to get together for our 2nd colab! 👍

[@HunterDirection]

Yes we absolutely do! Hit me up and we can start planning it. I've had a crazy past few weeks. Thanks for the support!

[@tyrelfnx4528]

Amazing content as always hope I can do these things to my TT soon!

[@HunterDirection]

It's great to hear you are enjoying the content! It's such a fun platform to modify. It's got so much potential. Thank you for the support!

[@noone_quattro]

omg . this is amazing.I have audi tt 1.8 t with 225 hp. and I hate understeer. and u show me something new! can u help me find this tubular control arm kit? where are u buy this magic?) p.s. thank u for your video. u teach me and many other...

[@iits_OG]

I’ve been eyeing a tubular subframe and control arms for the TT i hate how theres not much adjustability in the front 😭 I have poly bushings on mine it handles great but i hate going to an alignment shop and they tell me they cant adjust the front caster 🤷🏽‍♂️ great video man!

[@HunterDirection]

The tubular suspension definitely helps over the stock adjustability from my initial impressions! I'll be able to give a better analysis of the improvements once I get the coilovers on and tune the suspension. Thank you for the support!

[@iits_OG]

@@HunterDirection will be waiting on that one 👍🏼 once you add your suspension it will handle turns quite nicely with alot of confidence and control.

[@jonathanellis6097]

I'm was gonna poly bush mine, with the stock suspension components. I can't really lower it at all as my garage entrance is a pain and I need the height clearance. Now seeing the suspension components you are putting on is making me think twice.

[@HunterDirection]

That's a really good point. The roads where I live arent the greatest, so I definitely won't be "slamming" the car either haha. I just want the benefits of the stiffer springs/damping and marginal lowering that comes with it. The height adjustability is important since it snows where I live too. I totally get your dilemma though. Thank you for the support!

[@rockefeller63]

Yo first one! Great vid as always. I want you to be more creative with your scinematic intros from next episdoe :P do some drive shots etc :)

[@HunterDirection]

Yeah I can totally do that. I haven't been able to drive the TT that much since it's not fully aligned yet but I definitely should be able to for the next episode;) thanks for the support!

[@rockefeller63]

@@HunterDirection I also have mk1 tt 225 quattro but in cabrio - lso silver metalic. Lots of issues with this car, i bought it on auction with plans of restore it. Right now im working on the soft top ans the window was detached. Engine has lots of issues with boost, i think vacuum leaks and im 100% sure the k04 is shot. But anyway its fun to work on those little cars. My daily is B6 S4 and i love it

[@HunterDirection]

@@rockefeller63 that's awesome! Those are both great cars. I will definitely get a b6 s4 when one comes up at a good price near me. They are such cool cars!

[@rockefeller63]

@@HunterDirection Just make sure that the one you want o to buy had the timing chain and guides replaced, this is pretty expensive to do as the whole engine needs to come out and the parts are also crazy expencive - kit from jhm is like 5k USD
