I have always owned a VW of some sort, whether it was in the garage, a project, or my daily. Before moving here to the island I owned a Mk4 Jetta Wagon that I had highly modified. But.. I had to sell it before the move. TOO many wheels no the road. After Buying the house I bought a Mk6 GLI.. REAL nice car with all the goodies. But It was lacking... I needed more functional space, I needed a wagon again. So.. down to VW Victoria I go... now.. they know me very well down there.. They seem to think I will buy a car every time I visit.. So.. after a few road tests, and some tweaking of what I needed I ended up with a 2017 SportWagen... and I hope to chronicle the evolution of this car, and how much I will enjoy it.

Dyno sheets:

First Dyno Day:

Highlighted lines are the first run of the day. IAT was ultra High, like 150f, so it killed these runs.

Oohh! Another GSW!!!

Looking forward to seeing this car sometime. You're photo gallery isn't working btw. Picked ours up in July last year. Been awesome even in stock form.

[Hotwire]

It is an awesome ride, a THOUSAND times better then my MK4 Wagon for sure.

So far its only been minor things that I have had to deal with, as I am a perfectionist...

I have to find the RIGHT rims, RIGHT front lip.. and Im importing a Golf R Estate rear bumper... as there is nothing for the GSW rear end.

Do you have a link for how to retrofit the drive mode select?

What I had to do what Buy the switch pack and wiring harness from EBay (VW Canada does NOT sell the Retrofit kit, its an EU only kit), I am now waiting on "A Friend" to get me the FEC Enabling code to do the SWAP setup using ODIS.

I will give you Part #'s and a better description once I get it perfect.

Thats a slick looking wagen. Makes me want to mod my wife's Sportwagen which I promised her I wouldn't touch lol.

I work at workpoint, I live in Sooke

love what youve done.hows the ride with the suspension?stock shocks?

[Hotwire]

Stock shocks, the ride is REALLY good. From what I understand, the ED Springs are shorter, slightly stiffer, but.. in doing that and a progressive rate, they are comparable to the R Springs. So, its a great ride, but also fun on the twists of Sooke road.. .Luckily.. I live in Sooke and work in Esquimalt. so I get to do it EVERY DAY.

There is more to come later this weekend, and next week.

I have the Votex lip, and skirts in paint, and the Maxton skirts to go on them.

Last night I installed the R Estate Spoiler Extension.. Its pretty sexy, and NOT too much. Its JUST enough.

Should I put up my build list with part #'s and Where I sourced them?
