    First! (In A Bad Way)

    Probably not the first, but I'm up there. I just got a call from Platinum VW that my turbo has failed, yay! I'd like to start by saying their service people are awesome, they gave me a loaner car before my car even got on the lift and the issue was diagnosed. The service techs and reps have been...

    Resumé Help

    There are a lot of people on here who have been very helpful in giving me some guidance with things other than cars. So I thought it's about time I give back a little. I work for a mid-sized, 5,000-10,000 employee, Finance/IT company. More importantly, I work in the Talent Acquisition/Talent...

    APR Stage 1 to Stage 2 and Back to Stage 1

    When I first bought my 2008.5 CBFA TSI GTI in September of 2008, I decided I wasn't going to flash it, that lasted about 9000 miles, and when APR had their sale last March, I jumped on the opportunity and went Stage 1. The difference in power was almost night and day. The DSG shifted more...

    Plastic Hub Ring FUSED to Hub!

    So I just picked up a flat on my way to work. Jack the car up (widowmaker, not happy about that) and remove the wheel. Find a nice 1" screw in the middle of my tread. Get the spare out, throw it on the studs and notice my hub ring is baked or fused to the hub, fucking plastic:thumbdown...

    None More Black, Bouncing Souls & Lifetime Shows

    None More Black is playing a four show tour in the North East towards the end of August. This is just a heads up. If you don't know who NMB is, I pity you. I saw None More Black, the Loved Ones and Armalite in a church basement in Philly a few years ago and it was the best show I've ever seen...

    Camber?

    I was just over on the Tex reading someone's DIY for front camber adjustment , :rolleyes: and came across this link... H2Sport - Sport Camber Mounts, Mk5 Golf/Jetta/Rabbit Discuss. Looks pretty interesting and a pretty decent price compared to the Kmacs.

    Inline Air Restrictor Placement

    Quick question. My AWE Boost gauge has always buzzed, I just got 2 of the inline restrictors from 42dd. Should I splice one close to the intake manifold or close to the actual gauge? I have 2 of the AWE supplied fuel filters already near the gauge itself, they're useless. I'm going to start with...

    Black Fish Bowl

    I've had the wheels since the beginning of February, the tires since December, and the studs and nuts for a week. I finally got around to getting everything put together this weekend. Thanks to Dan GSR for the help and letting me leave my car at his place for the studs to cure over night...

    Meet Matt Black (Not 56k Friendly)

    Got my TD's last night. Pictures don't really do them justice... I weighed all four wheels, they all weighed exactly 21lbs on that scale, I was holding the wheel upright so the .2lbs was me.

    Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut... Sometimes You Don't (Loooong)

    I installed my BSH Stage 2 pipe a little over 5 weeks ago. The install, besides getting the OEM spring off the turbo inlet, was very easy. Fitment was great. A few weeks ago a couple of people started to notice that the OEM bolt that holds the Stage 2 pipe onto the engine was either backing out...

    Need Some Help (Wheel Color Choice)

    I'm a few days away from ordering my Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s for my Black Magic Pearl. I really like the blacked out, "murdered out" look, but I'm wondering if it's not too much black. Please vote and give me any opinions about the color choices. I've already decided I'm getting the Pro...

    Team Dynamics Racing Pro Race 1.2 (The quest for good wheels)

    Team Dynamics Racing Pro Race 1.2 First off, I am in no way, associated with Out Motoring or Team Dynamics Racing. I get nothing out of putting this information out there, just trying to help out some fellow Dubbers looking for a set of wheels. I found the American distributor for Team...
