What did you do to your mk7 today?

A clubsport?!

That would be nice

Changed batteries in both key fobs. One has been dead for about a year, the other one gave out over the weekend while I was trying to lower the windows. Got in the car, hit the button for acc and pressed the window button and... nothing. Looked over the instrument cluster and rolled my eyes. Oh well, they were due and now they both work again.

I don't have Kessy. Still on original battery from 2016 I think. At least can't remember ever changing.

No idea where my 2nd key is. Wife wanted it for emegencies & it's in a black hole somewhere

Black hole, great name for a purse.

Several of you know me outside the forum and have heard I'm moving to the greater Cleveland area. It costs $3500 to ship a car from here to Ohio so I sadly sold my minty fresh Mk4 TDI to an A&P mechanic on Oahu. Today I ran all the spare Mk4 parts I had to his container in Kona.

Since it takes 3-4 weeks to get a car to the mainland from here I started looking for another daily/project. I had basically given up hope when last night my dad sent me a one of my dream cars, a 2007 GTI Fahrenheit. The ad included some vague pictures and not much info so I expected a slew of issues. Since it was only 20 minutes from my parents I asked my dad to check it out for me. It turned out to be a meticulously kept accident free original owner car with 206,000 miles! (He had a long commute). Needless to say I bought it. I'll be flying into Tampa on 8/16 and will be roadtripping up the east coast in it. I'd love to get a small group together for the dragon while I pass through.

Nice score on the MK5!
I always wanted a GLI Fahrenheit (since you only got the DSG in the GTI version).

Was the Hawaii move always supposed to be temporary, btw?
Has it been 1 year or 2 years?

Funny, was driving next to a platinum grey MK5 Golf with the 5 cylinder. She rolled down her window to compliment mine & say how much she loved hers and how reliable it's been.

Told her I love the 5 cylinder. She had no idea it was.

@El_bigote_AJ Not serious but also very serious question... how much would you charge to do a second set?

I've got spare pillars and set of of M25s, and some money in my pocket. I'll have to look but I'm pretty sure you sent me a link to the ebay pillar pod additions.

I see the TM65s are back in stock ?, as are the M3s ? but I'm sticking with 2 way and will use the JL ZR650s I picked up here on the forum.

Haha, you know I do still have the tweeter only pods sitting in the bin with the other car audio parts… I bet those can be fitting with out even needing to fiberglass anything… but they would still need to get wrapped and I’ve not even found the right material yet let alone attempted to wrap ?

I thought you were running pods in that little triangle window. I ordered the little tweeter ones for the pillar yesterday.

Can you send a picture of what you have? If they are different (or better) looking than what I ordered I'll buy them off you.

I would agree though... doesn't look like fiberglass should be needed. I'm definitely not doing any fiberglass. Those days are done. If it requires fiberglass it will be outsourced at which point I will also let them figure out a fabric match.

No, my pods are fully connected to the apillar only. The triangle would be a nice area to get a good fiberglass sealed enclosure for sure, but with the range I plan for these 3.5” speakers will be fine with just a non. Sealed setup (doing a 4 way upfront with a front woofer for 45-95hz range.)

Your LCD climatronic panel is on the way to him, tell him he owes you a favor!

Fr tho, thanks for sending it over. You saved me $200 to figure out I didn't like it in my car. Because eventually I would have bought my own.

Gotcha... did you buy the kick pods from (someone here) a while back? I'm excited about getting the M25s installed, and the JLs in the doors... if the TM65s go on sale again maybe I can go full SI up front.

And finally semi-serious messing around with the AudioControl D-4.800. I'm sure it's capable of waaaayyy more than I'll get out of it but it least I can see how it drives some decent speakers.

Maybe I'll set up one of those threads people set up to borrow things, like the Helix dingle.

Except this LCD can just go from person to person so they can confirm they don't like it! If anybody keeps it for more than 120 days they have to send each of us $75...

Mine for the initial purchase in yours for actually providing some feedback ?.

Speaking of which, did you get a hold of anybody over there that could help with the store logo problem?

I had just asked if there was a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit, got told no.

@Acadia18 I guess @El_bigote_AJ will need to ship it to someone in Canada!

I got the dash pods (only houses a 3.5” mid driver, and from the guy who built them he ended up taping a tweeter pod to the top in the end cause the sound was still missing the highs clearly lol) they are def, awesome pieces but still require a tweeter pod built into the apillar. Plus they were built with function first so they are rather beefy and not all that attractive on the dash due to not being symmetrically aimed (as they shouldn’t for true function)

He also gave me his killer sub box, but I’m not gonna use that either anymore since I’m going to do a IB setup with as big as a woofer I can fit for super duper lows lol.
