Watcha running for a front plate bracket on this quarter's new whip (the 8.5)

Sorry this is the first time I've commented on your build thread. Glad you're gonna be alright. Frankly I'm blown away you made it given the height/speed differential. I wish you the speediest and most thorough recovery o7

I'm in a somewhat similar position with my new-to-me 20AE and 2017 GTI. Why not DTR for $1800? Turbo is laggy on stock DP but makes good power. Has room to grow with a better tune and DP down the road. I must say it was a much better value proposition at $1350. Keep the TT as a winter beater?

Can't rule out squirrels chewing thru lines. Do you have any drips?

Guys be nice to arcadiar. If he leaves half the forum content mill will evaporate, leaving only the gummi scourge

No PPF?

Agreed, but at the cost of the front bumper looking like it's flexing biceps that belong on a stick figure

Did we just become Step Brothers? 🍆 (Fiancé sold her Tezzler and encouraged me to add a second Rabbit to the farm)

Yes sir. Haha sorry should've mentioned these were taken during an oil change

Can I get an oil sweat check ✅ please? Took these pics during an oil change. Does this look typical for 115k, and should I swap on fresh parts soon? PCV hose and intake cam magnet caught my eye but I don't know any better. PCV superficially seems to be working fine (engine speeds up when cap...

I have a similar condition GTI: original owner, I know everything that's been done to it, everything except the stupid thumb slicing shifter trim is in good shape. If I were in your shoes, I'd start getting quotes for a used engine swap instead of contemplating selling it. And take that...

So, EA888.4 swapping the GTI? I see the strategy now /s

I had the same issue when I did my brakes. 3 hours of snacking the rotor with a sledge taking turns with a couple buddies. Started the next one and after 5 minutes we said, "f this." Buddy bought a $23 propane torch. Medium flame on the bottom of the rotor hub for ~2 minutes to induce a...

worth noting that 'light truck' regulations can be traced back to lobbying by domestic automakers in the mid 60s. Ford / Chrysler / Chevy were unwilling to invest in the R&D to compete against newer fuel efficient vehicle designs from Japan and Europe back in mid 60s

Seems like a way to move stock of current GTIs by inducing demand with the ol' reliable FOMO technique. Lol

Hey, consider tuning via SimosTools to delete the requirement for "clutch in" status to start the car. That might be easier than the solenoid business

I've wrangled with this too. My takeaway was that since I was happy with my GTI, I don't care about resale. Buying new was the right call for me at the time. I was younger and stupider and knew absolutely nothing about cars, so the warranty was necessary for me. 8 years later, the...
