  • It's been a while since I've update you all on the Mk6 GTI! I've installed a lot of little mods to it since then, as well as some larger mods, such as a Stage II ECS Clutch Kit, Wavetrac Limited Slip Differential, H&R Lowering Sport Springs, and some EuroSport bracing.
    I found that the GTI's stock clutch was slipping, due to the Unitronic tune's increased torque output. There was also a lot of chassis flex, as well as creaking coming from the subframe. I address all of these issues in the video!

      Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. And no, I never posted it, mostly because it didn’t get enough interest. But if it would help you out at all, I would consider editing it up

    Man… you got a lsd but went with H&R springs 😭 just a good mod with a terrible one that’s just as important.
    I got koni 1150 and I highly recommend.
    About to get the lsd

      Ran outta money my dude!! But suspension mods are coming. The lsd makes a bigger difference than suspension imo. I’ll check out the koni

      I might be able to do that! Tbh, it helps more when powering out of corners, rather than launching.

    Just ordered the stage 3 ecs clutch for my gti. How has this been for you? Video coming soon.

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy

      So I actually have mixed feeling about the stage II clutch. I’m in the middle of rebuilding the GTI engine right now, and when I took off the clutch, there was some concerning wear patterns after 10k miles. I asked the technicians at my work about it and they said it looked like the pressure plate was manufactured incorrectly, when it was lathed. So I tried getting a replacement for it from ECS, and they wouldn’t help me out. I ended up buying a stage 3 South Bend instead, and am about to put that on. Hopefully you have better luck with your kit! Make sure all of the little “fingers” on your pressure plate are even. And make sure you do the bleeder valve mod, so the clutch isn’t dampened, which will lead to more wear.

    any clutch chatter from the single mass flywheel?

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy
      @NotSoHandyCarGuy  2 роки тому

      No clutch chatter! But there is gear lash chatter. I think a lot of people might confuse the two. The gears are pretty loud, but after some research, there isn’t a whole lot you can do about it.
