    Switched to S4

    Had an ongoing issue with my left foot, likely aggravated by stop and go traffic lead me to start considering a trade to an automatic transmission. I've always wanted to try out the B8/8.5 S4, so I started looking around. I test drove a few and really enjoyed the ride quality and instantaneous...

    Honda Civic R

    Hmm. It looks like a crossover. The Accord crossover. So not very sporty.

    What's the most EFFED UP movie that you've seen?

    An honorable (dishonorable?) mention would go to the original Oldboy (Korean version). Such a jacked up twist.

    US spec 2018 Tiguan Revealed

    I wonder why the low power output? Maybe it's for fuel economy or that they're going to offer an uprated variant?

    Basic Build - dave1078's GTI

    Figured it would be worth making a thread to track changes and events with my car. It's a a '16 GTI SE MT with PP and LP. I'll add more detail about mods/review things as I get more time. Feel free to ask questions about any mods. Engine & Transmission Mods BMS Clutch Stop OEM TT Short Shifter...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Installed a Eurocode rear chassis brace. Jury is still out on effects. Haven't been able to push the car yet.

    Fiesta ST vs. MK7 GTI. My test drive review and opinion request!

    It's probably more about the drive than the features, right? Less numb feeling, I'd bet.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Lots of NVH? Are you going to do a review thread?

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Front Sway bar. I'm running the h&r 26mm front and 24 rear. I like the car a lot better with both versus only the rear. It cut roll tremendously and sharpened up the steering feel. There's no real problem with understeer-- just better balance now. The VAQ can still work its magic when needed.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    I added the ecode tunnel brace shortly after adding a front sway bar, so take it with a grain of salt. The chassis was already pretty stiff, but it feels more connected from front to rear. It also feels a little more solid over inconsistent pavement. I'm adding the rear brace as soon as I get...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Added the Eurocode tunnel brace. I was surprised how big the brace was but it's a nice improvement. The heat shield needed to be cut near the downpipe mount to make room for the front of the brace.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Installed 26mm H&R front sway bar and DIY RSR (TT-RS/TDI) clutch kit. Haven't stalled yet! But I probably will once I stop making a conscious effort. lol.

    If you could have any other Mk, what would it be?

    Did you ever have that awful top vent "diffuser" rattle? Drove me crazy. But yes... great car.

    If you could have any other Mk, what would it be?

    I'd go for a MKIV R32. I like the way those look and sound.
