What did you do today to your CC ?

[R-line]

Lowered with eibach springs
Installed Led Drls
Installed hoen titanium low beam bulbs and fogs

Which led drl's are those?

[Stero1D]

Peter, car looked amazing when I was driving next to you! can't wait to get lowered....

[Stero1D]

Which led drl's are those?

Those are Chineese

[mtomaska]

Very nice !

Btw are those wheels 18's or 19's ? I am considering buying exact same wheel just cant decide about the size. I dont want my ride to be too hard

if you get these in oem, they will be 18's. you can get aftermarket in
19's, but 18's will give you the best ride and handling if that is your priority.

[peterek]

Thanks all!!!

To be honest.when i switched from stock 17 to those 19 with 235/35/19 conti dws the ride was even more comfy than on stock ones.

And now when i lowered would love go have 20"

And drl are from ebay the ones that go for around $200, wiring is tricky and they dont come with clear corner pieces

[That 713 Drank]

Wheels are 20 x 8.5 et35. Lowered all the way on Vmaxx extreme coilovers.

Ran my CC out of curiosity at San Antonio Raceway. It's slow lol. Reaction time was 1.1 and 1/4 mile was 15.1 at 95mph. Turbo lag is a killer with the Dsg. That was with all my detailing supplies, three chairs, camera equipment, full tank of fuel and the old ladies purse. It did alright for stock I guess. Had some fun snapping some photos while I was there.




One of the fastest reaction times I've seen.

Met a fellow vortex member and CC owner at the hand car wash. He had the silver R line 4 motion.

He was complaining about the poor gas mileage, lol. I pissed him off even more by telling him I put down more power than him on my 2.0t and get roughly 38 mph on the highway

Carbonio Intake, I'm surprise how well the car accelerates with it. No more 1st gear hesitation.

Just a carboni by itself or do u have a tune?

Unfortunatly hit a falken

By itself, tuning APR this Friday.

I only ask because from what I've heard and read the CAI does nothing at all without tune. I've been wanting to get one but everyone keeps saying no to just a CAI by itself.

I believe that the CAI without tune may only get you a better engine sound (if you even like it), gain few HP, and let some extra air in... The same thing will happen with a tune... But it's a must for a Stage 1+ setup to make it work.

Stuck in Valet mode?

Exactly what I've been telling him...over & over again

Intake helps flow more in the higher revs for sure, but the stock tune doesn't make any power in the higher revs. And you give up the "torquey" feeling in slow/city driving.

With a tune though....the intake compliments it VERY nicely because you're gaining +50lb./ft. of torque so you're not really losing that "torquey feeling"
And then you'll bump the hp with that extra air going in, with a tune, because the turbo needs it now (since you're boosting 16-17psi instead of 9-10psi with stock)

[KOWCC]

You've been telling me and I've been understanding from the first time you told me. BUT, as I've been asking, I want a cure for the first gear hesitation upon takeoff, without having to go to stage one....as one of the members noted it has helped him with that. I'm not looking to race people on back roads with 45mph limits, so I'm not too concerned about losing some torque. 95%, if not more of my driving is highway, so I am more more than ok exchanging some torque at city driving for a little more hp on the highway since I will be in high revs there. When the car hits about 25k miles I'm more than likely jumping straight to S2. For now, let the engine break in properly, I'm still under 8k.

[snobrdrdan]

It's the combination of the drive by wire system & DSG.
So it's always gonna be there, regardless.

With more power, it's just less noticable


FYI....if you have this hose on the front of your airbox, you're CBFA.
If not....then you're CCTA

[KOWCC]

Thanks buddy for the illustration, I will
Check my airbox, i think I have that hose.

[praneetloke]

Yeah the CCTA vs CBFA depends on which state you bought the car from. It has something to do with the emission standards in your state. NJ CCs are CCTA, at least mine is and CA CCs are CBFA, and it looks like CCs in MI are as well.

I thought all 11 and 12s are CBFA. The state emission standard thing doesn't make sense since cars are sold across state lines all the time not to mention people who relocate. Would their cars fail emissions testing due to them purchasing a vehicle in a state that has no/fewer emissions requirements? Also, if that's the case, it's not very cost effective for VW from a manufacturing perspective to build different engines based on state. It would be better to build one engine to meet the strictest requirements and use that engine for all states.

Looks to me like you hit a falcon. Haha, sorry, I just had to.

That sucks, though.

I've heard the same, but I can certainly feel more of something and just not sound (which I barely hear, while driving) plus this first gear hesitation is gone, takes off in D mode like it should. Even though I still drive in S or M.

I have a 12 and its a CCTA

not exactly true. cars being moved and transported from place to place.
i bought mine in jersey and its cbfa unfortunately.

CC 1:0 Falcon
any damage?

[KOWCC]

Looks like a black piece is missing from the part that attaches to the car, and a small crack....very tiny piece. I wonder If that's where the beak made contact

You've got to handle that St. Tropez interior paneling! It's a costly project, but DEFINITELY worth it.
