Listened to the consensus here, and Im picking up the R Friday with a full Unitronic Stage 2 setup and a South Bend Stage 3 Daily clutch.
Now, like any other nutcase, Im looking for more parts before I even pick up the car. I want a 1" drop and some sway bars to tighten it up for some track time. Maybe help combat some of the understeer.
What are you guys running?
Shout out to this guy in the highly modified R. My summer car is an R, but I borrowed this Cobra today because its beautiful out and this car goes topless and hauls ass like a cat on fire.
2024 Golf R in the second Pic. Dropping it off tomorrow for a Stage 2 Unitronic Package and a clutch.
2003 Terminator Cobra. Intake, full 3" magnaflow, aftermarket supercharger pulley, suspension and brakes and cooling mods, 450whp.
$450. I fell asleep before the main event, I was at work at 6am. Super pissed i had wasted 50 bucks and the pay per view. Turns out, not so much.
Just pulled the trigger on the Unitronic Stage 2, with all the supporting mods and the flex fuel kit. Now I need to choose a clutch.
I do plan on tracking the car a few times a year. It wont ever see daily duty, but I do drive it frequently, so i also dont want to drive around with an overkill clutch. I also hear that have too stiff of a pressure plate can cause crank walk. Thoughts?
