What did you do to your mk7 today?

[mk7_bk]

Added maxton design side skirts, just drilled them in, no glue. Removed oem mud guards. Also added a pic of the rear brace shop put on. Idn how i feel about the side skirts yet, them seem to stick out kinda far imo.

Upgraded from the S3 short shifter to the Diesel Geek Sigma.

Not sure how I feel about it yet. Very notchy, and now that everything is tightened up it almost sounds like my knob is loose. 3rd to 2nd you have to be kind of aggressive with it, almost feels like rev hang. Might need a readjustment.

Swapped out the old plugs. ~12,000 miles still gapped at 0.024" with most of the mileage from the JB4 before going over to Cobb.

On top of my battery leaking acid, which VW does not want to warranty, I also found my ground strap cut up somehow.

Sigma shifter is pretty dope, it does break in and when adjusted properly, its great

AFE drop in filter. Part throttle is a lot more sensitive. Easy driving fuel mileage might be up, will know in a week.

Retrofitted 8"display.

Where did you pick this up? How was the install? It looks so much better than the OEM

 

[Strange Mud]

fished out small pointy rock out of tire and replaced with a plug...we'll see if it lasts or I post up purchasing new set of tires. 28K on OEM Haancooks I would have gotten at least 1 more year out of them. It's near the corer where a pro won't put in a real patch.

upped boost after removing snow grate and adding drop in filter. Mixing 3 gallons of E and running +5.0psi on the JB1. AFR looks great (slightly rich) during WOT via OBD11 so far. Hot AF down here.

*ordered wrong footwell LED's from DeAuto ... even though they were labeled as "2pc 6 LED Wafer Footwell set in Crisp White/Red/Blue fits: VW, Audi, all cars"
shame on me I guess

under Capt Obvious....looks like that screw did it....battery loose/shifting around? I assume loose connector would cause engine cutout.

That's the rear most stud for the battery tray, it's actually lower than it looks in the picture. Once the tray and nut is applied there's just no thread left to cause that to happen. However, it's possible that the shop that did my clutch last either assembled things wrong or caught the stud when they were moving things out of the way.

Did you remove the snow grate when you did the filter?

Yes. I'll reinstall it when I swap my snow tires over. I'm leery of not having it over the winter.

Do you think snow will get past your filter?

 

[shovelhd]

Do you think snow will get past your filter?

I don't know. I live in the snow belt and drive in raging blizzards often. What do you think? Logic tells me it's not needed at all but VW must have put it there for a reason.
