    Happy 200K miles!

    My 2008.5 MKV just passed 200K miles. It's been quite a journey and I'm pretty confident that no-one will ever own this car other than me. I've been tuned since 10k miles, stage 2 since 20k miles and K04 since 71k miles. I would say that mechanically my car has been pristine, but due to...

    MKV GTI Clutch Noise Diagnosis Needed (video)

    Hey guys, take a look at the video I made of the clutch noise. I think it's the throwout/clutch release bearing, but I'm no mechanic, so I need some input. My2TnCHBt8I The noise started when driving a bit spiritedly this morning. It initially was pretty quiet and only really noisy in 4th...

    To buy or not to buy BT WRX?

    I have the opportunity to buy my cousin's EFR twin-scroll 2009 WRX off of him. It has a fully built engine and transmission capable of handling much, much, much more power. Currently, on pump gas and it's daily driver tune, it's sitting at 430whp, 430wtq. On race gas and an aggressive tune...

    K04 GTI vs. EFR WRX (video)

    While driving to the beach, my cousin and I got several good runs in. Each time I hit it when I started to hear his turbo spool since we couldn't really hear the honks over his exhaust. He was babying it, shifting slowly and at 6K rpms. He has a fully built engine and transmission, I'm...

    Misfires and check engine lights.

    Hey guys, just some background. I have 122,XXX miles on my GTI and about 48K miles of being K04'ed, all without a problem.

    Motortrend First Test: MK7 GTI

    I'm not sure if it's been posted yet, but here it is, Motortrends first test of the MK7 GTI. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/hatchbacks/1406_2015_volkswagen_golf_gti_first_test/ I don't think it's even going to be close in a comparison test with other cars in its class. I have always...

    Car got hit, guess how much it will cost to fix.

    My car got backed into while it was sitting in a parking lot by a 16 year old that has had his license for only 2 weeks. His parents want to try and pay out of pocket, but I think it's going to be a lot more expensive than they think. What do you guys think, how much is the estimate going to...

    Focus ST vs MS3 and WRX?

    http://wot.motortrend.com/video-find-2013-ford-focus-st-vs-mazdaspeed3-impreza-wrx-and-m3-240981.html tL_vwSMcnl0 This little gem of a video just came out and decided this must be talked about. In my opinion, even the Mazdaspeed 3 is better looking than this car.
