New rotors (Zimmermann) to replace the StopTech ones I had on there and new iSweep 1500 pads. I also had to replace the headlight leveling sensor on the front left side that was broken causing an AFS error.

How do you like the isweeps? I'm running EBC Yellowstuff up front for the moment, but am always looking to find better pads for street/AX hybrid use

I have zero issues with them but my car is only street driven. This is my second set - I got 5 solid years out of the first set. With the TT-S brakes, the pad selection is limited and I had decided at the time to go with the iSweeps due to low dust and other owner reviews.

They have several levels of pads available. The IS2000 or IS2500 might be more suited toward your application.

LOL. I only have the TT-S brakes as I didn't want to have to run 19" wheels in the winter that the TTRS ones would have required.

Went to take my passenger door panel off because I noticed a rattle when my wife closed it, and when I popped the first clip, this fell out. Snapped the one clip back in place, slammed the door, and boom, rattle gone. Question is, so I don't have to take the whole thing apart, what the hell did this break off of?

I’ve only replaced one on the hatch, but that looks like a drain hose.

Clocking in over at 60,958 miles, decided to replace my pcv valve this past weekend. I wasn't getting codes or experiencing any issues so it was more of a maintence job.

Completely ignored @DerHase flow chart ?

They’re comparable to something like a CTR I think and get mentioned alongside gtis maybe a little faster (~40 hp more?). I usually think of their performance as in between stock gti and R
OK I gotcha. It was over when I hit 3rd. To be fair I am pushing an IS38 lol, but still I am shocked at how hard I pulled away from him.
