Damn it all... I'm back into my obsession with car audio again... (Whenever I reference wattage, I'm only speaking W(rms), just to clarify) What started, last night, as a simple "Oh, I'll just run and grab a small, 100W monoblock and throw it on the 12" sub I have laying around from my old...

When logging with VCDS, I noticed an "Engine Torque" Sensor as a value I could log. Logging it gave me a number in Newton-Meters, but when converted to ft-lbs, it peaked at about 184 ft-lbs (I'm assuming at the crank). Considering stock is supposedly 177 ft-lbs, and I've added a CAI and...

Hey everyone! Ok, I'm going to be honest off the bat and just let everyone know that I have beat the living crap out of my car and haven't kept up with maintenance, especially with this bad winter. It's an 09 Rabbit 2.5L 5-cyl. I've put probably 70k on it since I got it, and I haven't kept up...

Went to the Chicago Auto Show the other day... Here's some shots from the VW booth. And a shot of the FT-1 Concept just because: Still waiting for a lot of pictures from my other camera body that I lent to my girlfriend after the show.

Happened to me twice on my way to work before. It's never done this before, so is it just saying "Hey dumbass, time to change the brakes" or is this something more serious? The beeping was 3 or 4 times and was high pitched, not like the normal dings.

Pull up to a light on my way home last night from my girlfriend's house, when a Camaro of some sort pulls up next to me. I see a carbon fiber cowled hood and hear the burble of an aftermarket exhaust and think to myself "No way. Nope. He'll stomp me. Not gonna do it." The light turns and he...

Hey guys, I've only been shooting since Christmas, so please be gentle. For my first post, I've only got 3 of these pictures edited but the girlfriend and I took a day a few days ago to take pictures using the amazing sunlight. Here's some of my first pictures from that day: "OPTICS!"...

So last night I got the wise idea that I should make my car louder by cutting off the suitcase muffler on the back of my 09 Rabbit. I figured "hey, this one's the biggest, it should stop the most noise." I was wrong. Now, I have more of a bass note at low RPM (read: <1700 RPM), but nothing...

I'm coming home and there's a Mustang driver driving like a dipshit. I think nothing of it and keep minding my own on my way home. I get into the turn lane while he's in a straight only lane, waiting at a light. He revved the engine while staring at my car, and I think to myself "wow, ok...

Ok, so driving home today, I turn hard after getting off the highway, just generally having a blast to get work out of my system, when I start to hear a static-y noise from what sounded like the passenger side speaker. I turn the music down, but the static persists. I turn off the stereo and...

So, I hit a raccoon :mad0259:, here's the damage: So, how much am I gonna have to dish out to have to fix this? Edit: Sorry for the giganto images
