Dutch's Awesome GTI Nonsense And Belated Build Info Thread

[-Dutch-]

I picked up a plate bracket and a pack of wire grommets to keep the bracket from rubbing the bumper, finally got rid of the dealer advertisement on the back of my car.

curious as to what they do regarding the inspection sticker on the windshield when tinting

They have a special patch that can be removed without damaging the film. The sticker goes on the patch and then it's applied to the windshield.

Got this in the mail today. I've been wanting one for a while but couldn't decide what to get, finally just ordered it. The car is in the shop having the MAP DP installed so I'll put this in when I get it back home.

For anyone else who buys a cam, check the storage limits first. Had to format the card down to 32 gigs. Oops.

Yet another quick tip: don't forget to buy any adapters you may need if you plan on hardwiring.

Out with the old, in with the new:

FutureMrsDutch and I went for a quick drive to check out the camera quality and the downpipe. I also grabbed a quick log and am pleased to see that the DP does in fact make a nice difference not only in sound, but power. It's all relative, of course. I use Virtual Dyno to see if there's a difference, not to get actual power numbers.

I'll toss the video up so you can see the camera quality but I'm not editing it down for entertainment purposes.

Edit: How the hell do you embed a video on here?

 

[-Dutch-]

Welp, I can only get it to upload in 360p vs the 1080p source so what the hell use is that?

Tried YouTube? Can't see any images/videos from what you posted today. Might be a Tapatalk issue though. How do you like the downpipe?

Cant see any of the pics

I tried two different 1080p uploads but apparently there's a delay for the high res versions to become available. I'll post the link when it's working.

The DP is awesome. Quiet when cruising, a nice growl under steady acceleration, and aggressive in all the right ways when your foot accidentally gets stuck in the carpet.

Are you on mobile? I'm using Google photo now but it doesn't always play nice with phones.

I can see the photos on my laptop but not tapatalk.
