So just something Ive wondered for, gosh almost 2 decades now (getting old lol). How are people heel toe downshifting with stock pedals, specifically in the mk3? Is my size wrong? Is my setup wrong? Ive seen guys on YouTube and other media doing it and I just dont see how I can. For reference I understand the technique and have done it in other more “sporty” cars with ease. Im not asking how to do it, but more how i can accomplish it in this car dealing with my sizes and original equipment...

Ive done track days in my MK4, my MK7Jetta (slow can be fun too) but actually really looking forward to seeing what this GTI can do.
Who else has tracked the MK8s? How'd they do ..read more

So I blew my 2.0 TSI and I’m planning on swapping in the 3.6L VR6 from the Touareg and putting in a 6 speed R32 manual trans; my question is what all do I need to swap the new manual trans into the (formerly automatic) GLI in order to make use of the manual transmission. (Keeping it FWD for now until I can afford to add a AWD drivetrain ..read more
