Pretty much, town is building like 75 new apartment homes at all times, we are under perpetual growth. Here's to hoping the TireRack warranty claim goes well.

I have removed rear seats and some other stuff. I have measured them 32.6 kg. I have not measured the spare wheel. I believe it’s a total 50kg less.
Our car has 50 liter tank. Which is 37.5kg. If you drive with less than half a tank it is 20 less kilos. Not bad …

Replaced the inner CV boot since it was flinging grease everywhere. No noise or other issues but given the cost of new CV joint and axle I didn't want to wait on this one.
It's not a complicated job but did take longer than expected. The tool of the day award goes to the brass punch that helped push the axle spindle out of the hub.
I used this this boot kit and replacement hardware kit and everything fit perfectly, no drama.
This was a few miles after cleaning up the initial mess. There wasn't an obvious hole or tear but there was kind of a seam where it felt like the boot was beginning to come apart. Regardless, the line of grease is a pretty clear indicator of where the issue was.

inquiring minds want to know......Just drove it !!
I only drove it 11 miles back to work, but I had a number of stop n go in between, and a swing through McDonalds. I am of course being easy on it for the first couple hundred miles. Right now the clutch action is light and reaction is quick. For those that dont know, my old ACT VW9-HDSS clutch kit went out and I upgraded to ACT's VW9-XTSS kit. Obviously rated for more power and has more aggressive engagement. The old clutch felt like this when first installed, but got heavier after about 300 miles, and the clutch chatter got louder. I imagine this will do the same. Can't tell yall how sweet it was to go through the gears and hear that exhaust, even at low boost. Going for a drive after work.
