And I thought I was already low on 20" wheels
Yes, I will be tucking them
Still need to dip 2 wheels in a heavy gloss black.
You should buy my varianzas they're 18 with lip totally VIP and will make it even lower!

Installed injectors in the Dodge. Smokes a lot without a turbo yet but it was worth it.
Huge fuel leak though, that will have to get dealt with after the long weekend

Alignment was way off, and bcrdukes gave me some goodies with the car.
Installed Techno Toy RCA's. This is what happened to the front.
Rears had no issues. In fact, it tweaked the rear toe issues back to 0.
Good thing I'm in Steel Fab. I'm used to squaring things off in little to no time at all. Toe is waaaaay off. Same with Camber.
The fix? Jack it back up and throw in the Outer Tie Rods, also by Techno Toy.
Oh yeah, that's good stuff.
Went to Dales for alignment this morning.
Toe was barely off. All they really did was even out the Camber and eliminate front toe.
Solution to all car problems?
Install cool shit.

Had my car VAG-COM'd today for opening or closing all windows with the remote, plus being able to lock my Kessy equipped GTI with the remote with the ignition running.

Sorted out my ride height issue with melloman today. Turns out I screwed up doing preload on both sides, and despite looking somewhat even, the rear coils were unequal. Car is sitting how I want it now

Taken from my build thread
Spoiler!
Was outside the entire day in this blistering heat
Finished rolling the rest of the fenders, and put on the new shoes!
Coilovers were also adjusted! Total drop today was ~3" compared to the previous setup! (overall I dropped by car almost by like 7" from stock)
Today also marks the first year I've "owned" my car hehe
