What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

[ChristopherNeil]

Tell me of the deal?

After taxes and shipping, a car payment less than the listed price (the Japanese yen is weak compared to the US dollar). Prices went up about a week after I purchased, too. Business was good this year and I'm allowed one dumb purchase annually.

Why is this such a secret? Just tell us what you bought already!

Edit: Nevermind, saw the other picture. First time I looked I only saw the box and the dog.

Integrated Engineering SAI filter so now I can install the GruppeM intake.

Got a bottle of new cherry juice.

@Maiden69 will let you know how it is once I use it. Just did what'll probably be the last "outdoor" wash of my car of the season, unless these 75° November days hold up. I only have one of the cheap Zhong Zhong pump sprayers for my indoor washes, but it works decently well.

Got a second "poorish" decal from Blipshift. Originally my first order was lost, or so I thought. I sent them an email stating it had been two weeks or so, so they sent me another, which I got several days later. The original one from the first order somehow magically showed up yesterday.

Got in the corrected front shocks. Bilstein b8perfplus 35-229902

That one should definitely work fine, they are all copies of the IK Foam sprayers. I used to spray ONR with a large pump sprayer as a prewash indoors, but if this one works as well as regular ONR I will use my IK 9, since the foam should dwell on the paint longer than the liquid.

034 motorsport inlet tube. What a pile of shit. When comparing measurements, it's almost an inch too long toward the filter, and when trimmed down, the turbo side is about an inch too short to mate up at a reasonable angle.

I don't have a side by side with the APR, but they're entirely different shapes. Highly doubt BMP or 034 will be of any help.

Know you know better, but
Just curious, now that you're done

I've seen more than a few places send silicone hoses a bit long on both sides.... So they need to be trimmed half on each end...

Probably not the thing here, at all , but my brain is being annoying...

If I could make the turbo end longer, it may have worked out. I'll probably paint or gold wrap the APR pipe.

Hey I have a set of JNC wheels just like it, why'd you pay so much? just kidding, they look fantastic and I'm sure it's great peace of mind to have wheels not made of pot metal.
