Oh damn, I posted that in this thread already? I thought I had put it in a different one. Jeez. NEVER MIND

Compared to how long it takes me to do anything, that descriptor is accurate. Also, I know what it's supposed to be, but I don't think That link works. It goes here http://post%20in%20thread%20'what%20did%20you%20do%20to%20your%20mk7%20today/?%27

It wasn't today, but not long ago. Finally replaced the fender that got dented 3 years ago with the replacement I got 2 years ago. I may have a laziness issue. Sometime soon, I like to tell myself, I'll finally install the stage 4 clutch I got 14 months ago and have needed for 3 years.

Replaced the fender which had only been dented for about 3 years, when my motorcycle fell off the jack overnight during a fork rebuild. I bought a new fender for $160 shipped and had it painted for $200. Then it sat in my garage, mocking my laziness.

Google "quickjack". There's a few models. I got the 5000-tl. They had a $350 off sale during labor day. I'm told they have sales semi-regularly for holidays.

I'm just about to change mine when I install a stage 4million or whatever clutch (is38 on an e48 tune). Going to try the red line cocktail. I'm at 85k miles. I did it once before at 40k with oem, which was completely fine. I have a ssk. If I'd read this thread Before I'd bought the cocktail...

When I pushed the button and the car went up for the first time, I think something else went up too... I lived for years with the 30+ minute hassle with ramps, two different jacks and stands that sketch me out a little. If you could call that living. Now it's a quick and easy 5 minutes that...

Really? New car? I havnt been here in a long time. Not up on what's new.

I got a letter for this too. I absolutely do not want to deal with taking it to the dealer here. I don't trust them for one, and I don't want to have the hassle of doing things around their schedule. I'd rather just diy it. How does that work for getting your car de-listed from the recall...

It's not here yet, but I did finally cave and order a quickjack. They're having a labor day sale with $350 off. For that price, I had to do it. I've been putting off a clutch replacement since the spring. I've been unable to drive with any stank on it for like a year. Clutch will slip like...

I've got 87k and still original pump. I have had to add about half the volume of the reservoir in water to the system over the years as the level has dropped. So if it is leaking it is very slow. I have not looked very closely though. However, once the weather here cools down in a few weeks...

Well if I remember right, you're the king of un-installed mods and even then that one would probably be bottom of the list. My bypass is coming up on 4 years installed. It still works perfect, just have to remember to hit the solenoid rod with a little lube once every 6 months. I'm still...

I like that. Is it the Kona? Something like that? I'm not up on current EVs. Does anyone make a hot hatch ev? Something small and reasonably light? I'm guessing there's nothing anywhere near the 3100 lbs of a gti? Ive always hated heavy cars, even when they're fast and they just keep getting...

You went EV? You traitorous bastard. Lulz. I actually thought about it too. In 2021 i bought a house with solar. But I also bought a motorcycle which I use half the year so my car milage dropped. Then I decided I didn't like the house so I bought another one. That one doesn't have solar, yet...

Well looks like I'll probably be sending the stage 3 back to swap for a stage 4. Between shipping and other costs it'll be an extra $200. Wish I'd contacted them and asked before buying instead of just reading the spec sheet. That was the mistake I made with the rsr. At least now I know what...

Right. I've got an email exchange going with them now to sort out what to do.

^^^ Are the pressure plates the same for all their options? Only the disc changes? Also, been a while. What's been going on? Same car? Same house?

Actually, I only went stage 3 which if these ratings are accurate should be more than plenty, even on the e48 tune for the IS38. Sneeky says that tune maxes at 450. I don't know where they measure but Even if that's at the wheels, it should mean 500 max at the crank? Look at these specs...

Interesting thread. I've got a Ringer Racing stage 3+ with lightened flywheel kit waiting to go in any time now. The HST RSR clutch I put in 3 years ago was fine until I went IS38 but now will slip pretty much constantly at anything more than 3/10 on the gas in gears 1 through 4. I've been...

Standard is38 turbo + hpfp + sneeky canned e48 tune = very affordable ~400hp
