Something strange has happened to my passenger side door handle a few weeks ago - the "thumb" portion (where the key could go, if our passenger side doors were keyed) began to separate from the assembly:
The whole thing is holding together alright, but it all seems very fragile... I would...
I recently installed a Fluidampr pulley and thought I'd take a minute to share some thoughts on stock vs. ECS lightweight vs. Fluidampr.
The first aftermarket pulley I tried was from ECS. This pulley is much lighter than stock, but it is the same size - it isn't an under-drive pulley.
I...
FS: PWRHAUS DV Spacer *SOLD*
Like new PWRHAUS DV Spacer. I bought this just to see how it compares to the Forge spacer (they sound identical). $40 shipped.
I just ran a log of Block 020 to see what timing looks like post-water/meth install and had really bizarre readings... I didn't think the software was even reading properly because it continuously showed 0 degrees, so I did a full log on the way to the store. I've got four rows of 0's, except...
Quick question guys. My friend bought a 2012 Audi Q5 Premium Plus and immediately threw a new set of wheels on it. I picked up his stock wheels and want to put them on my '07 GTI.
The wheels are 18" (I believe OE tire size was 235/60-18) and same bolt pattern as my GTI, but the hubs on my...
Can V-Band clamps be tightened enough to prevent rotations of the constituent parts of an exhaust system? I recently picked up a Eurojet catback and I'm having an issue with a long stretch of it rotating and hanging lower than I would like. I feel like it could use an added hanger, but I...
FS: CXRacing Coilovers SOLD
SOLD
I bought these used back in April - FWIW, the previous owner said he logged "less than 100 miles" on them; I have since put another 5k on them. They are fixed dampening and go pretty low. PM or post with any questions.
We all know there are three options for upgrading you intercooler: replace the stock unit with a S3/Eurojet/APR "OEM upgrade", disconnect the stock intercooler and run something like a BSH or Neuspeed dedicated FMIC, or use a "twin cooler" system like Forge or Godspeed to utilize a FMIC core as...
My girlfriend recently picked up a 2006 DSG MKV GTI (to match my 2007). The car recently began to throw CEL, which a Vagcom scan blamed on a boost problem (it said to check the DV). The car she bought came with an aftermarket Forge DV, so we ditched that part and installed a Rev D stock unit...
I got my car flashed to Revo Stage 1 a few days ago - I thought I would take a moment to throw up my initial impressions. My car has few mods right now - only a BSH TrueSeal intake and BSH/Forge DV Relocation. I had the shop set the tune as aggressively as possible for 93 octane - about an...
I just installed a "center vent" New South Performance boost gauge, but I ran into some trouble.
First, does anyone have any tips for removing the "front trim face" from the vent assembly? I was able to peel it open wide enough to get the gauge mount piece inside, but it's not lined up 100%...
This is a VERY preliminary review - I have a grand total of 30 miles on this kit, but I have some comments about the design and questions that will no doubt be persistent.
My GTI came with a rev C DV, and I wanted to switch to a "better" setup to avoid trouble downrange. I already have the BSH...
