    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    New front tires installed and 4 wheel alignment. Rear thrust was off to the right so they corrected it and I had them toe in the front halfway between factory and zero.

    What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

    I almost bought one at Marshalls but the back design was way too loud for my style.

    MK7 Confessions

    I'm trying to save you money. Buy the bigger containers, it's significantly better value. Only downside is less foil.

    MK7 Confessions

    That's like $400 of yogurt to get a $16 sunshade, but I appreciate the Macgruberism.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    I owned a 2000 (my mistake) for less than a year, maybe even six months. Absolute nightmare for maintenance. Blew a turbo 3 weeks after purchase, broken window regulator when it was raining, and started to develop a 3rd gear grind on heavy pulls. Fixed everything but the transmission and...

    Coilover dilemma

    I set the damping to 5f/3r and it seems to have improved the harshness a tad, but not 100%. I inspected for bump stop clearance in the front and if I'm not mistaken, it's inverted with internal bump stops. Hopefully raising the front 10mm this coming week keeps the trend going.

    I was under the impression that the LCAs were rubber, maybe I got ahead of myself with that. Surprisingly, I didn't notice much, if any, change in ride quality with both the top mounts or the strut bar? I rode new oem mounts when I first installed the coilovers, and only changed them for the...

    Coilover dilemma

    I'll have to try those settings when the front is raised. As far as mileage, I'm going on a limb and saying ~40k. Had them checked either 5 or 10k ago and ge said they were not leaking or showing any unusual wear. I have noticed though, recently my splitter is just grazing a speed bump that not...

    Coilover dilemma

    Yeah, it's a bit odd. My cars going in for the 80k service next week, I'm going to have him check the lower control arms and ball joints when we raise the front. The thing is, driving through twisties it feels incredibly tight and responsive to my input. I just can't seem to get the daily...
