sure, it will try it sometimes...honestly, i never drop the clutch more than 3k rpm..
since i afraid i will break it..
anyways, thxs for the recommendation...

hmm...how often do you park this car in a plaza on Sawtelle Blvd? I used to take the street during the summer, on my way to my summer job in Westwood, and would see this 8 parked there every week. The first time i saw...almost got in an accident because i kept staring, lol.

Just don't do any drops at ridiculous rpms like 7500 or something and you'll be fine.

Of course, that's how magazines got their 5.8 0-60 times but hey.... they did that because they don't own the car!

anyway, i love Dubs, too, so i like your GTI (even though i'm more of a Mk1 man, myself).
i bought the wheel lugs in Hong Kong for like 120usd
they are rays, too...
