Correct, I'm outside of Philly. How far away? Your profile says you're in Michigan. I would be willing to drive at least part of the way there.
Half way might be somewhere around Pittsburgh PA depending on where you're at. That's a long drive for both of us, but I'd consider it.

19x8.5 Motegi MR294s in graphite silver on otherwise stock car. Tires are 245/45-19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Don't like the tires on track (not nearly as much grip as I'd like when hot) but overall the setup is excellent for the street.
What's the offset relative to the OEM wheels?
I'm outside Philly, but planning a trip to central PA in a few weeks (to Mill Hall) after I get through some family stuff. You'd practically be on the way there.
I'm going to need new tires soon, and was thinking of going 18" or 19". But I don't...
I installed the Hasport 62A, which is the most mild option out there that I know of. Absolutely hated it. It did reduce wheel hop a tiny bit, and tighten up the feel of the car. I loved the significant reduction in movement during shifting, but I can't recommend it.
It added so much vibration...
FWD sucks for 0-60. We all know 1st is difficult to put power down, and generally 2nd can be. That A7 has decent power and AWD, so of course it's faster.
Having owned a tuned S6 (just under 600hp) I can confidently say that the Civic is a million times more fun to drive. That Audi is heavy and...
Awesome news, AWE! Been a while since I had an AWE exhaust on my 2nd gen TT (was your R&D car for that). Wasn't considering an exhaust on the CTR until now.
The OEM tires are significantly better than you give them credit for. There should be minimal slip in 2nd, and none in 3rd, when they are up to temp and have an appropriate pressure in them. They are a very progressive tire on the limit, don't screech when they break traction, and do fairly well...
This is similar to my answers, minus the big German cars. After having a tuned S6 I really have zero interest in another heavy ass "special" trim of a more regular car. The M5 and E63 are more fun, but as someone who loves the feel of the Type R, I really dislike how those heavier luxury cars...
I have the Hasport 62a rear mount. Horrendous vibration and exhaust drone throughout the cabin upon install. After 300 miles it's approaching bearable, but still extremely annoying on cold starts.
It has helped with shifter feel, but I installed upgrades there shortly after the mount. It has...
$650 OTD for Huper Optik Ceramic 15% for side and rear windows. Owner had a type R and bought a spare rear glass to use as a template. Cheaper tint would put it in the $350 range.
Copy pasta from my intro thread plus more info.
I traded in my 2016 Audi S6 for the Type R. It was extremely fast, especially with the APR Stage 1 tune, but just devoid of driving excitement. I'll certainly miss the quality and comfort, but not as much as I missed a lighter car with a manual...
