Why not have another thread right? As with most on DFD, when the :plac: hits it hits hard. The dealer where I bought my last 2 GTI's from is finally receiving a blue manual Golf R in about 2 weeks. Should be good news though right? Not really. Golf R prices have gone from $36k when I was looking las...

I fucking loved that about the GP. I didn't need to do ANYTHING to it.

This is what I want. A car that requires 0 mods aside from ramz/tars for winter.

Still have mine!

N55 is generally a reliable motor right. Way more reliable than the N54. In my brief searches that seems to be the case.

I don't even own a flatbrim hat I will need to correct this.

You need some tapout shirts asap.

Are there any mod plans besides ramz and tars for winter? Was your GTI modded?

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Winter mode engaged. Switched to the Detroit's and gave the calipers a good waxing to make them red again. Drove it a bit and I already miss the pilot super sports. They make such a massive difference in the way the car drives. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161203/8fc811b22086182e3d8460977df90a7...

Just browsing autotrader for Camaro's and it's fairly difficult to find a lightly optioned 2SS but I found one. It's black on black but only has mag ride, performance exhaust, nav, black wheels and black bowties. I think the car looks great in black but having a dark color now I know how much of a n...

About damn time! Nice pickup!

That's so much for what should just be a valve cover gasket. I wonder if I could manage it myself. I'll have to look the job up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 hrs of technician labor, breh. You probably have to remove quite a bit from the engine to remove the VC and upper cam cover. PCV, coi...

I get 5k oil changes done too and when I discovered my oil pan leak I was right at the minimum line on the dipstick. So It would seem my leak was pretty fast and furious.

Cost $887 for the diller reseal the cam girdle. :disappoint: Why wouldn't they allow us to have modular valve covers? That's so much for something that should be $75 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It was pretty much all labor too. Parts were $176.95 and labor was $710.95. What's strange is the ...

How much was the repair?

Took the car in for an oil change and tire rotation. 3.5 hours later and I'm almost done. So far I need new hubcentric rings. And at least one lug hole is cross threaded. Also spotted this pretty valve cover leak. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161122/46073ce4a504b2af94ad4bc9f9409a2c.jpg Sent fr...

Yea, but you didn't and won't. You'll have the GTI forever. I'm actually impressed that you got it in the first place. Last car buying experience was similar. It came down to Mini or GTI. I put money on a red GTI and :dillerman: started to fuck me hard so I backed off. Then the car I had blew a str...

STI comes standard with summers.

I guess you could just buy winter tars and mount them on the stock ramz. Think about new nicer ramz later.

New Si is :notbad:. I kinda like it. Still a bit surprising they went with the 1.5T though. http://jalopnik.com/the-next-honda-civic-si-proves-honda-is-back-in-the-gam-1789020164 1.5T is just not overly interesting IMO. Should have been the 2.0T at minimum. Hope they make it a screamer at least. A ...

If that $329 a month lease deal is legit I don't think the R is worth it.

The 7R drives exactly as you think it would. Like a GTI with a bit more power. DCC can compensate for the ride quality on 19 inch wheels.

Some better tires would fix that. Did the GTI you drive have the lousy P7 all seasons?

Not sure if this has been posted but here's the long term wrap test verdict from C&D. They loved it.
