pretty good fitment all around. With my ride height front pokes ever so slightly but a degree or two of negative camber would get it more flush. Rear is nice but rubs a bit on the drivers side. Once I get...
I agree with you 100%. Seeing the trucks been out since 2022 model year and doesn’t look like anyone has reported serious transmission issues it must be pretty solid.
Also I can’t imagine a manufacturer would use a transmission that is under specced for the torque output of a factory motor. I...
pretty much what I was thinking. Can’t imagine a domestic company complicating things that much - especially with such similar engines just one slightly smaller in displacement.
But then again I’m not too worried as I don’t plan on diving too deep into the idea of motor swaps or built motors...
first person I’ve seen mention this.. I was wondering the same thing a while ago when people started swapping in 2.3 out of the corsairs. I’d be curious if it was as simple as a manifold swap.
Also would be curious if the built motors from mountune would “bolt” in seeing as they make fully...
Alrighty, just an update
got the rear knock eliminated now! Checked preload & I’m maxed on the shock with the spring being as low as it can go. Turns out the allen head bolt & nut that hold the top of the shock onto the mount on the body needed to be tightened as there was rotational movement...
sounds like a wicked little car! Worked with a guy who had basically the same setup back when MK3 were still new. Cammed 2.0. Supercharger would make it the ultimate weekend / canyon car. G60 supercharger probably pairs nicely & OEM style
Sorry to hear about the mobility issues, but I’m glad you still got something fun if need be! What generation golf do you have? If you do ever wanna lower the truck I’ve heard lowering springs get rid of a bit of wheel gap but will still ride very close to OEM
definitely a bit more stiff overall I would say. With how stiff I currently have the front set it’s more like a static car with how bouncy it can be. The stock tire size definitely helps with the bouncy-ness and makes it less harsh. Once I dial in the front after raising it up a bit and adjust...
I’ll probably keep the steelies for winter wheels so I’m not sure if I’ll take the time to paint em. But not a bad thought maybe to freshen them up a bit.
love the color on your truck tho! Did you get the fender flares from air design?
Hey everyone, just wanted to share the "build" so far -- if you can call it that. Not much done yet but got a good starting point after reading up on everyones builds while I waited for my truck.
Got a '24 XL in Cactus Grey new from the dealer, got the spray in bedliner (cause Ontario, Canada...
