What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Acadia18]

-Spark plug change
-Oil change (Liqui Moly 5w-40 Molygen). And the wife & I had Dodges prior to my GTI & her Tiguan. Holding on to the Mopar work mat.
-Jectron Fuel injection cleaner in a full tank of 93
-Installed block off plate. Going to keep an eye on it to see how it does with temps and my APR PEX Open Intake. Easy enough to remove.

highly recommend a spark plug gap tool (cheap on amazon) vs that old skool gap puck......easier and more accurate......but first world problems

Easier solution to the problem. Just toss the ruth's in as they come right out of the box without even touching the gap. #YOLO

Going to get a B5 S4. I think that's the next upgrade after an R.

Those look like AS tires.

man I've always loved those....but dang, those two turbos are a PITA to get to/work on. Finding one unmolested is going to be hard....

 

[Acadia18]

Maybe I'll just jump past that and get an MK5 R32....

Yes, I did the dogbone a couple years ago. Also BFI stage 1.

For some reason this one has a polished top.

Not sure lol, didn’t pay attention.

I have two sets for mine, PSAS4 for daily duty and Conti Extreme Force Contact for trying to break the daily.

We get enough “winter” here you really shouldn’t run a dedicated summer tire year around, although I’m guilty of it in the past.

This was timely, "for all of you in the comments, don't ask me to do this."
Pretty much sums up my question from last week.
Also, any idea what diffuser he used?

I want AWE to know this is the only good use of 2.25” tubing lol

No clue, but I can ask him.

Also, if someone wanted me to build a quad tip CBE or TBE I’d entertain the idea. Just can’t justify building an axle back (most expensive to build and ship part).
