Carl's 2021 Driveway Labs 🍌🚀

[Carl - Driveway Labs]

Hi everyone! I am Carl, I joined a while ago but life has been chaos the last few years so I am just getting around to being active here. Settling in the Charlotte area

I am just finishing 20 years army time, long time car dork and I'm excited to turn a weekend hobby into full time.

I had a Brz before my Mk5 and I was one of the supreme Mk5 haters before I saw it in person and drove it. Now I'm a total fanboy.

this is actually my second Mk5, my first one was white and some girl hit me and totaled it before it's first oil change. Now I have a wonderful banana rocket.

I build lots of parts but I won't go into that so the ban hammer swinging forum gods don't nuke me before I get set up properly.

Why I'm broke:

-AMS intake (might sell soon)
-FTP charge pipe
-CSF manifold
-CSF heat xgr
-CSF radiators
-CSF oil cooler
-Redstar catless dp
-Akrapovic link-pipe
-Driveway Labs "turn downs for what"
-Radium dual catch cans
-Eventuri headlight duct ( modded )
-AMS engine cover ( modded )
-Driveway Labs bling panels
-HKS adjustable springs
-Rexspeed red carbon flappy paddles
-Rexspeed carbon door handle covers
-Speed Industry blingy start button
-CSG Spec brake pads
-Endless brake fluid (CSG supplied)
-Motul 300v (CSG supplied) is oil a mod?
-APR GT300 wing
-Driveway Labs wind buffet fix
-Iconix project kics lugs
-ARP stud conversion
-Driveway Labs rear diffuser prototype
-Driveway Labs front splitter prototype

coming for 2022:

-2021 ecu unlock and tuning (still hush hush, not anyone currently doing it, done here in Charlotte, but very soon)
-E85 build
-Big turbo build
-Driveway Labs full aero package
-other Driveway Labs parts


RIP

I'm looking forward to a stateside unlock. I hope folks get it figured out. Let me know, so I can update the website. But people are absolutely tuning the 2021/2022s. Saying, "no one else is doing this" is a little disingenuous.

other people are doing a state side obd unlock? full control?

Noice! Curious about that rear diffuser!

Love that you're making your own parts.
Only thing I've ever done was a fiberglass CAI scoop long time ago. Love designing stuff but never pulled the trigger on metal working or 3d printing like many other things I didn't commit

Mk5 converted you into a believer huh lol

I've been doing it and selling it to lots of people for a few years now. Just took a hiatus to finish out my army life. More details available but I'm not a paid vendor yet so I'm trying to not break rules and piss off Guff's ban hammer.

No no. Not stateside. Not full control, without a clone. Credit where credit is due of course. The link I sent you above and in my signature is the current state of things. You can absolutely fully tune a MY 2021/2022 is all I’m saying full control, over OBD. You need a clone, and you can’t do it stateside.

I was just saying your post made it sound like it wasn’t current possible to fully tune a 2021/2022. It is, but Russian Hoops.

This is cool. I was thinking just last week that I wished there was something like that. Sub’d to see how everything turns out.

Also congrats on your Army retirement. I hope to join that club next year.
