Sport or Off Road

The auto seems fine to me, I also drive a manual GTI. I only have put about 250 miles on it, and I see people saying that it will smooth out as it "learns" how you drive.

 

Nice, I'm driving a '15 APR stage 1 myself!

 

Cool mine is a '15 I went JB1 to JB4.

 

I think I have seen you at vwvortex and/or golfmk7

 

I actually started with the JB1... they didn't have the JB4 out yet... but then got the craving to try APR. Problem is the high stage 1 caused slipping clutch so I'm now at the low output tune. I am on vwvortex, yes.

 

Can't go wrong... either way...

 

I was so close to going to APR Stage 1, but the potential clutch issues held me back, so far no issues with JB4 on stock clutch. For now.

 

As they say... gotta pay to play. spending 3k on a SB clutch was out of the cards, and since I'm moving on to a truck I'm off it now.

 

Wonder what the percentage of MT to AT there are for OR owners on TW

 

I bet more auto trans in th OR, but more manuals in the sports.

 

I think someone on here mentioned for modding, the different gear ratios for auto can affect something. What, I can't remember.

 

Automatics have 3.91 Rear and Manual 4.30

 

any negatives to that when modding/lifting/etc?

 

ehh. little column A little column B

 

I use to have a mk6 gti APR k04 6mt. It was so fun, but I sold it a few years back. I miss that car so much.

 

You might want to regear if you go tires larger than 33 with the auto otherwise you wont see the higher overdrive gears.

I thought you said yout were OCD and liked to research a lot before you buy. All I see you do is asking basic questions here that have already been beat to death. Read a few of the topics in TW then you're asking more in depth questions like "why should I regear an auto when going up in tire size" or how soon shold i look for Taco lean?

I don't mind answering questions but you're just shotgunning us anything that comes to mind. We have plenty of dedicated forums and threads that go into detailing what you've been asking.

 

I know. Just in kind of a hurry. Appreciate all the help, I do.

 

Definitely the sport. They are much faster and meant for racing sports. That hood scoop I think increases HP by 75

 

I’m cool with whatever.

 

With a 2 year old and playing more grownz-upz the GTI is just a little too small. Plus I may need a new clutch very soon lol.
