🔧 BUILD Mook's 2016 Golf R | E85 and Typhoon powered

[Mook]

Its running fine. I MIGHT be down on boost simply b/c we stopped tuning because of a wastegate issue but the car feels healthy. I need to do an 1/8 hit to see where things are at.

I'm triggering traction control often, which never used to happen. So not sure if thats good or bad.

Got bored the other night and wanted to continue ricing out my car. Picked up some carbon fiber side mirror covers. They fit well enough. Took alittle extra oomph to get them to snap in vs the OEM ones. I thought I was gonna hate them TBH, but I actually think they look great.

I think I'm definitely changing the wheel color over winter.

Car looks great

Mirrors turned out sweet

Walked into the garage and the lighting was hitting them just right. I really love these. No pics.

I don't bother with them most of the time. They just get destroyed an hour later.

I don't know if you have EDC, but it's not a good thing if you break traction. On my car, it uses EDC for both axles. So it'll grab the brake on the opposite side of spinning, and hook-up. If it has to do that enough...it thinks the brakes are overheating and cuts power. I have 2 choices..(.I'm using this as an example if your set-up is same). 1. Get stickier/bigger tires 2. Remove ALL hints of traction control. Problem with #2 is 1 wheel peels on front and back...on opposite sides making car unstable. I can keep EDC, but I can not remove the nanny to prevent brake overheating...which is only a calculation as there is no temperature sensor. I know the best solution is #1 as fact...since my 275's hooked just fine and no nanny problems. When I went back to 225's it brought a lot of inconsistency to launches due to #2.

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Would definitely need to go darker and more cherry red.
