So I've had ECS tuning coil overs for a couple years now and decided to bump up the dampening 5 clicks from the stiffest today. Reason being was mostly that it was riding too soft from factory settings (or what the shop preset them to) and I was slamming a lot (already have fender mod). I'm...

Yeah, so my misfiring is no longer happening as I've monitored it with OBD11 in real time. Either my changing of plugs/coils finally got it to recalibrate and run proper, or I've also been driving the car harder than usual to try and burn some of it off with acceleration. I'm not sure, but the...

So yesterday, I turned on the AC because that is something I did not use since I did my coils/spark plugs as I just didn't need it during those days. I drove around a tad yesterday with it on. I checked today and it appears to show it's ready now. I'm praying all is good and stays good 🙏🏻. I...

I feel you man. I used to do the same in the past. I'm somewhat over those days, lol. Granted I'm still nervous of giving the car to any shop.

I do and will be monitoring it before I go to confirm it shows readiness active. I wish I knew to check that before I went the first time, lol.

Oooh lawd. Well, thanks for that. So a lot of these would come naturally over the state of just driving your car. I'm trying to get this done quick to get through inspection. Looks like I'm going to have to try knocking some of these out through brute force. What a PITA, lol.

Hey guys, so I did a spark plug/coil pack install 2 Fridays ago since I was throwing a misfire cylinder 3 CEL. That didn't quite fix the CEL as it appears I continue to misfire on cold starts. I used OBD11 to clear the CEL and figure I'll deal with that soon enough, whether new fuel injectors or...

Thanks for that. It's a tad further than I had hoped. I don't quite live in Morris County anymore but was willing to go there for the job. I live in Sussex County, so Morris is my neighbor. That being the furthest I'd like to go. Clifton is a bit further down. Thanks for the recommendation, but...

Hey guys, anyone have recommendations on shops in the Morris/Sussex County area in NJ? I got a misfire cylinder 3. I already replaced sparks and plugs. While my drive is smoother, it still misfires during a cold startup. Once the RPM's drop, the misfiring appears to stop... It sounds like a...

Hey man, you wouldn't happen to have a link to somewhere where this was taken apart? Just to make sure I don't break anything, lol. I took a quick gander yesterday in there. Is the trim just a snap off? No hidden screws anywhere that I need to be worried about before yanking on it?

I can agree though that I love seeing all types of Golfs out in the wild. In fact, if we all owned GTIs it would be a bore. I can't say it enough how much I love seeing the civilian golfs out in the wild. It makes me feel extra special with the GTI trim, lol. Though yeah, let's not even get...

I was referring to base price I guess in my post. An average GTI base is around 24,999. A base average starting price of an "R" should be around 39,999. Of course I know AWD will be better in snow. No doubt about it. There is a reason hospitals have a fleet of subarus for their staff that deal...

That's a good speech but I don't buy it, lol. I live in Jersey. A stone throw away from you and get equally sh!!!ty weather. I've owned a GTI for 8 years and had zero issues in the snow. Granted, you will want to have a spare set of Winter tires to deal with it, but otherwise you should be fine...

I gotcha. Kind of bummed out to hear that but it is what it is, lol. Thank you.

When are you guys offering a sale? lol.

I don't think the 2.5 inch in rear is an issue. The primary performance comes from the size of the DP. With that said thuogh, does anyone know when AWE throws up their sales?

Whose got 7 speed? Unless you're tuned with a pops and bang, I don't think manual will get you any pops if you're stock.

Well some might not have enough left in the charge to get home :LOL: That last hoorah to floor it just might leave them on empty, lol. Don't think they want to plug their car into the local gas station at night and have to wait around for that slow charge to take place...

I thought would they would have to do is rebuild our entire road infrastructure from the ground up. Have like specific lanes that are designed to be read by the car and that is what keeps everyone in check. Like a grid or something. The hard part to take into consideration are all those...

The manual in this car is really designed for the non modder who is probably going to lease the car or leave it completely stock. More than likely they wouldn't complain about it. It's light, smooth and simple. No thrills shifting for a car lacking power stock. Makes sense VW went cheap on the...
