What did you do to your mk7 today?

[jimlloyd40]

I made an appointment with the dealer today

Why?

 

[jimlloyd40]

Just put in a Powerflex dogbone street insert. Crazy vibrations at idle (900 rpm), especially with the AC on, but smooth from 1k RPM on. Shifting and power delivery have improved substantially, clutch take-up feels better. People say the vibrations calm down, I hope so.

Gonna do the cp-e 55 durometer mounts next, but I don't know when is appropriate. Stock mounts still seem fine. 29k miles.

Also did the Aerofabb splitter and hatch spoiler extension, which are great quality.

I would keep the stock mounts until they start getting bad. Mine lasted a little over 100,000 miles when tuned to 416 HP.

Why?

Couple of things! My oh-shit handle is busted, I always smell coolant when I leave, and either my timing cover is leaking or my axle is throwing grease ): I saw while doing my DP the other week.

Car is a ‘19 with about 12k miles on it!

If it helps, my BFI dogbone DID get better after 1k - 1.5k miles.

BEFORE AND AFTER ADDING THE CUTOUT EXHAUST. I already have 3 inch pipe full borla exhaust, happy with it, but when cruising around with my lady is too loud just to have some chill time. So this is the final end with stock muffle and cutout when I’m ready to let that rabbit loose IG mad_bunnymk7View attachment 220373

That cutout is aimed directly at your gas tank. Fine if youre driving and the wind is moving that hot air... idle at a stand still for too long with that thing open and youre gonna burn a hole in your gas tank. Ive seen it happen.

after 400-500 miles that hybrid insert calms down.

I love European parking lots. I wish we had more lots with pavers vs just concrete everywhere.

"Ehh, won't happen to me..." - marchoz1, probably.

I've been contemplating doing the area off the side of my driveway like that. Mostly because it's cheap and I can DIY. Right now it's just dirt and pine needles.
