What did you do to your mk7 today?

[mk7_bk]

How's the chatter? Been considering clutches for the inevitable clutch doom. As a daily I am just worried about a SMF chatter. Also what exhaust do you run so I get a sense of your noise tolerance

Cts catted dp, res delete, stock suitcase + tips. I would say chatter is def there. Exhaust hides it a good bit. If i did nothing I would be fine with it. Maybe in the future i change out trans fluid to a different one which helps the chatter a lot

Edit: chatter noise was a 0, noise is now 25% more maybe if that helps

I redlined the bitch.

Installed my Baum Performance FMIC. Took it on the highway and I think I need to tighten a clamp or two. Pretty sure I heard a small leak and only hit ~24 PSI instead of 26. I'll do that tomorrow and recheck. Temps were much lower than the stock intercooler, by quite a lot. Very happy with the product. Thanks Jake!

Had my carbon fiber fender cracked, wheel curbed, and pilot sport destroyed by an idiot,

Damn that sucks. His insurance going to cover the repairs?

Why didn't you guys take pictures and pullover instead of leaving cars blocking the street? The cops don't roll up at accidents like it's a crime scene drawing tracings on the ground. They just write a report of he said/she said, and bounce.

Some babies get accidentally dropped on their heads, that champion was obviously thrown at a wall. What a fuckwit.

Sorry to see.

Weird! I would have put money on removing the intake manifold being necessary to gain access.

You can just remove the charge pipe, radiator fan and throttle body to do the job. Much easier with smaller hands / arms, but takes less time usually.

Cop on the phone actually instructed us to stay, I had the whole video on dash cam so everything should be good with insurance. He was ticked for careless driving and improper lane change.

All good thankfully it’s not all that bad, just an excuse for carbon fiber mirror caps, hopefully I’ll be able to find a single cf fender

Got the car back from warranty work to find out it still has the same issue. Hope to see if the dealer up in Michigan can get it fixed

Thats not legal here... yet....

They shouldn't be legal anywhere because it's difficult to see the brake lights.

Took my JB4 out for tomorrow's dealer visit. Wow. I forgot what this car feels like with stock-ish power.

They dismissed my claim of a leaky thermostat and said (like to many others) that it passed the pressure test. I'll live with it for now but need to take care of a leaking oil pan. Couldn't find much info on here about pan leaks so methinks it isn't so common - we'll see what they say.

Did some soldering on my APR exhaust flap controller project. Switch gang is in, and I have some microswitches I can use to highjack the button function.

But not without issue, I think I may have gotten a drop of solder somewhere on the backside of the button on the remote, so it wigs out if you hold it wrong. Hoping just slathering it with liquid tape helps...

My oil pan gasket went bad and was fixed under my extended warranty. Had a leak from the pan gasket as well as the oil level sensor. Cost was something like $500 if I remember correctly.

Interesting.... what I'm hearing though, is regardless of the method used they should not have to mess with the core support assembly which is great considering I've got the MAGIC I/C fitting perfect right now.
