Glad to see you're messing around with this thing. What are the plans? Fresh stock build, or you gonna go heavy with it?

I lowered the front of my car .25". Still need to lower the rear a bit (wheels have to come off).

josein06gli · 08-01-2017, 01:07 AM

Rotated the tires and wheels and added methanol to the tank

Very angrily looked at the daily and shook my fist at it.

GIACUser · 08-01-2017, 10:34 AM

Today I bought .....
All 4 wheel bearing kits
new alternator, new air cond compressor and starter
Forge coolant lines
all new vacuum lines and fittings
new expansion tank
fancy Porsche caps for oil, expansion tank and windshield washer tank
new OEM radiator
new OEM fans
new battery cover
and of course the forged motor / big turbo build continues

I am getting ridiculous I think on parts replacement making almost everything new. I am sure I will be buying more. Maybe should not have declared this a "no budget" project.

Stranded in Daytona · 08-05-2017, 01:26 AM

Sold It :(

Probably will be my last MKV for a long time

I ordered Konig Oversteer 18x8 45 mms offset wheels. I just got the car 10 days ago. Recently upgraded to Powerbass. 12" subs and Amp Sunday. Gonna lower it next. I'm going with a tried and true suspension setup. Konica and Nuespeed springs.

The plastic cover on those turns to shit quite quickly. I'd suggest removing the plastic cover and clear coating the carbon fiber and then you will not have that issue (it's what I ended up doing)

Bought tires, Front and Rear Strut Mounts, New Bearings for the Front, got the tires mounted/balanced, Put in my new Baby on Board sticker from my Dealership. :) Wife wanted one, so I figured I'd get a nice(r) one than the generic yellow ones.

Ordered my H&R Super Sports. Booked my appointment for Alignment, Outer CV Boot changed (Drivers is torn), and having a CTS Turbo Catback installed on May 30th to be mated with my Raceland DP before I Get a Unitronic Stage 2 tune.

Where did you get this Baby on Board sign? I tried my local dealer and they do not have one.

Went with my cousin to pick up his new MK7 GTI. I want one so badly, but my company just bought me a brand new 2018 Ford Escape, every bit of which including gas and insurance is covered by them, so I couldn't justify getting the MK7.
