What did you do to your mk7 today?

The amount of movement, for short bumps, is inversely proportional to the weight - a lighter wheel which readily moves in response to road bumps will have more grip and more constant grip when tracking over an imperfect road. For this reason, lighter wheels are sought especially for high-performance vehicle's and would improve over all ride quality.. Filling the tyres with nitrogen again can have benefits [emoji2]

Awesome. I'll have to look into maybe making that my first purchase. Never really thought it would make the much of a difference and quietly lul'd at people touting their lighter wheels (mostly because I like the look of the OEM wheels so much and not so much with aftermarket ) but the more I looked into the more I saw I was a big doofus for not trying to get lighter wheels myself!

Oh uh...On topic: Tried to diagnose a rattle that has cropped up...not even 800 miles

Sounds like it's coming from inside the dash somewhere behind the touchscreen unit. I'm thinking the soundaktor cable I unplugged may have wriggled lose from the tape I had it on.

Plug it back in and vagcom the sound away.

Installed ECS 15/20mm spacers. Loving the stance now. Still have to get rid of that obnoxious wheel gap

Before spacers

With Spacers

Agreed. I wish someone would do something like the Openflash Tablet for the FT-86 platform. You got a touchscreen that plugged into the OBD-II, you could flash/update/log any time you wanted, and the entire thing was open source so you could see what the tune did, or make changes. None of this 'proprietary' crap. You're tuning a car, every tuner does the same thing (with a few unique spices), you aren't hiding anything.

Tossed some of the winter toys on top.

Any of you guys with roof bars can answer this please do they leave any marks on the roof when they have been removed?

No

Swapped out my H7 cornering lights, and installed Deautokey license plate LEDs. Now the wait for nighttime.

I've been having more fun than a grown man should washing a car. Just got it and am having a blast. Here are the first photos pre some upcoming mods. Scheduled to have Prestige Spectra Photosync 35% layered with 3M Color Stable 50% window tint and Suntek paint protection film on full front clip + headlights.
