Fair, it's not for everyone. I enjoy the hell out of the wagon though.

#HatersGonnaHate #SleepersGonnaGap


my 6yo said that, on the way to school, “daddy, how can we make mommy’s wagon an R wagon?”

Told him to start dropping the hints to mom. 🤣

I’d go for the stock ones. Only because I’ve no idea if the apr’s even operate to spec tbh
I started a coil pack thread on the golf (1.8T) engine forum, most claim APR have a higher spark and APR = MSD, but cheaper... oddly.. MSD's going for 50 some bucks each at Walmart of all places. 🤷‍♂️

Currently debating between these 3 and the Blue APR packs from FCP Euro:
Red stock replacements:
https://www.uspmotorsports.com/Lage...Ignition-Red-Coil-Pack-For-VW-Audi-Gen-3.html - x4 = $86.36 with free shipping.
https://www.urotuning.com/products/...tion-coilpack-set-of-4?variant=30309033050167 -x4 = $115 with free shipping.
RS3 Eldor replacement:
https://www.urotuning.com/products/...en3-1-8t-2-0t-set-of-4?variant=32102168100919 - x4 = $95 with free shipping.

Off-topic update #3-
FedEx dropped the ball, no new shiny bits today to take pictures of. Oh well, the stock location IC caps shipped today, so at least it's all coming together.

Debating a pre-emptive coil pack swap out of habit, and which coils to use. Probably end up with blue APRs from FCP euro though, most expensive option but lifetime warranty and i'm a sucker for blue. 🤷‍♂️

Currently it's 9:38 in RI, and last time I checked, Orlando, FL is a pretty far way away from RI.

I don't think it's arriving today.

I’d be happy with an is20 and a mild tune and DSG tune in the Alltrack.... but that fucking warranty has me by the balls.

Bought used, saved some cash for the mods on the purchase price, so no real warranty to worry about.

Looking IS20 on 91 - Maybe a Flex tune and HPFP upgrade through Reflect. I've got the AQ250 Tranny, and others with the same setup on the forum recommend them for getting around the torque limiter.

I love wagons. We bought a new A4 Avant 1.8T 6spd manual when we got back from Italy back in the day. We loved the car, but sold it within a year due to constant issues and an issue with the clutch that they kept blaming us for, which was nonsense, my wife and I both had only owned manuals up to that point.

Seems like a familiar song with most of the cooler Audi wagons. Spend most of their time in the air being worked on.

Before I pulled the trigger on the GSW I was looking at Older Subaru Outbacks, Not the Impreza but the full long roof. Head gasket issues were kinda meh, but figured I could tackle them myself if needed.

When I closed up the US base in Munich, I found a bunch of crap as that was a German Quartermaster base before we took it over and nobody had been in the basement for 40 years.

What I didn't take was the cans of Zyklon-B

And herein lies the problem as many don't understand the difference between ideology and historical artifacts. If I buy this crap because I'm a whackadoodle white supremacist then it is warped ideology. If I pick up a piece of history then it is just that - history.
