    FS: Eds Retrofits

    I just got rid of my gti and have a set of Eds retrofits for sale. These are in nice shape and in the time I owned them never had any issue with condensation. One of the ballasts is flaky so they will need a set of ballasts. I was going to pop for set of Morimoto ballasts but then decided to...

    Audi S3 is awesome

    I got a fairly long solo test drive in a cpo 2016 S3 this afternoon. I have owned two v6 bi- turbo S4's in the past and was interested in how the cars power stacked up and also how it would feel compared to my stock gti pp. Man I have to say it was quite impressive. I have not had the chance to...

    My son put his $5k down on a type R a few months back. It will be interesting to see what it's like to drive. Oh yeah , not the PRE edition just the regular level of crazy wing, air dam, and extreme body kit.

    What's the most EFFED UP movie that you've seen?

    One movie that sticks in my head is Event Horizon. Its an unsettling mix of sci-fi and horror. It is one of those movies you watch and then think "wow, I wish I hadn't watched that! " . Another couple of movies worth mentioning are Videodrome from 1983, and another movie called Existenz...

    Ice covered roads tonight in St Louis

    Wow, I have lived in the area for over 50 years and tonight's icy road situation is one of the worst I have seen as far as widespread highway gridlock. I drove the gti today thinking I would be home before the weather set in. No such luck unfortunately. I took a number of back roads to avoid...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    What kind of fixing mechanism does the stock mk7 VW knob use? Does the BFI slip on and use a set screw to fix it in place? Looks nice.

    New 2016 gti nav data won't load

    Just bought a new 2016 gti, when I took delivery the car didn't have the nav data sd pack in the glove box. The dealership was able to find a 2015/2016 gti sd card, but the data does not seem to load. I have tried two different cards from two different 2016 autobahns, but no luck with either...

    Mk7 gti Cup kits?

    Anyone running the B8 bilsteins sport dampers with performance springs on their mk7 gti? Not interested in coilovers, just a nicely matched cup kit. I have seen the Fsd koni kits but looking for a firmer sport set up. I have been a vw guy since the mid 70's when my parents bought a new 75...

    Interesting run yesterday

    I had one of those opportunities to validate my stock 2015 gti's performance yesterday. I was on the interstate and ran across a mid 2000's sti. As a past wrx and fxt owner I am pretty good at identifying the year of the car but this one had the front clip off the car. I didn't get a good look...

    Nissan Skyline

    Just got a glimpse of a new Nissan Skyline on a car carrier headed to some lucky individual. Its the first one I have personally seen and it looked pretty mean with its twin nasa type hood ducts staring straight off the back of the truck carrier. I love German cars, but having owned a few...
