    Machining rims 2-3mm to change offset: yes or no

    Now before you jump down my throat, I am not talking about machining a large amount off the rim, only 2-3mm. I have both VMR v710s (18x8.5 et45) and a set of VMR 705s (19x8.5 et45) and would like to have them be about an et47. I know a couple people who have done this, but they are by no means...

    HPA 3" downpipe + APR stage 2 tune = WOW!

    Yesterday I picked up my R from HPA up in Canada with their brand new 3" stainless downpipe with 100cell cat. I was stage 1 APR with no intake and a gen4 Haldex controller. Per the dyno runs HPA did on their in-house dyno, just adding the downpipe added 20tq and 13hp and moved the torque curve...

    So I'm giving up the R on Thursday...

    ...and going back to a MKV GTI. I just can't stand the AWD drive and the inability to turn off traction control. Actually, I am letting the team at HPA Motorsports in Canada borrow my R for a week so they can get the final design for their downpipe (3" stainless steel with 100 or 200 cell...
