What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Baun Performance]

Since it's lifting the inner tire, it will be lifting the inner side first, where you can see daylight clearly:

Industry term “inner” always refers to inboard (inner most) in reference to the vehicle (no relation to the road course turn).

we are talking about a road course turn though...

Took care of some ignition related items. Car was running APR plugs, APR coils, no issues, but I wanted a more long term solution. I installed:

Ruthenium plugs, Gapped down.
RS3 coil Packs (Revision P)
Coil grounding kit.

So far, feels great. No check engine lights which is always a plus. Idle is smooth. Installing the ground kit is both a pain in the butt and easy at the same time.

To my eye, it just looks more like the static negative camber setting on the inside tire when leaning over into a turn. I can’t see daylight between the inside of the tire and the track…

This ^^^. I’m running -3deg front camber and mid-turn to the left.

Gave my car a much needed detail. Between two family members passing away, the time change, and some new neighbors who don't understand the parking rules/etiquette, it's probably been a month since I've been able to snag a spot next to my condo.

Hence the confusion, industry terms are in place to avoid that.

There’s zero day light under the inboard edge of the tire (zero confusion as to orientation regardless of direction or location).

The OE battery gave up the ghost after a few ~35* overnights, and, you know, about 5 years....

Dropped in a new DLG H6, and didn't even have to code it as the main settings were the same
Doubly happy about that when I realized my OBD11 needed to have the subscription renewed for around $85....
Seriously thinking about VagCom now! I don't code all that often anymore, but when I need it, I need it...

Battery cover fits, I just haven't put it back on yet

Please code it to have a new serial number, else the battery won't charge ok

I didnt even realize you could do this tweak until this week but I just adjusted the fuel consumption readout in vcds. Bumped it up to 107% and it seems to be a lot more accurate now.

I used chemical guys V36 polish/compound with their orange pad with my orbital polisher to remove some fine scratches and spiderwebs. Pretty impressed with the outcome.

How inaccurate was it before?

Depends on driving conditions but MPG would consistently read 8-12% optimistic. Changing it to 110% in VCDS seemed to make the reading too conservative though.

Just changed the battery with a new one, upgrade from a "VW by Varta" 60ah EFB to an Exide 72ah AGM.

 

[Sub-to-Dub]

I took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to get the car ready for winter - interior detail, wash, clay, compound, beer, polish, sealant, wax, beer, trim restorer, window wax, and finally new wipers.

All that work and the sun couldn't be bothered to come out and let me enjoy the shine so here's a boring overcast driveway shot.
