Well heres the thing on the hardwire, when i bought my car the previous owner had it hardwired for a radar detector so i have a cord right above the mirror. However im not very tech savy with that stuff and do not believe its the same type of cord i need. Looks like a phone cord

Which dashcam are you getting? I want one. But I think I can just use my GoPro in continuous mode if I need to.
G1W dash cam, its like $55 bucks without a memory card, with a 32 gig probably like under $80. It has good reviews, its that or these 2 comparable versions im researching.

If you wanna see the video quality check it on youtube here (check it out in 720-1080)

Nice price. Video quality looks decent too. I wonder how it holds up in the long term, and how reliability is in terms of corrupt files, etc.

Sounds like the hardwire kit I got for my Escort, which I haven't done to my GTI.

Nice, let us know how well it does. I was thinking of buying that one.

So I'm getting my coil packs today. I've read they're really easy to install. Unclip harness and carefully wiggle it out right? No need to unplug battery or whatever?

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
dash cams are cool and all but you guys would get sick of my videos. It would just be me passing other cars driving the speed limit and me going 10 over with sick commentary from me (Examples below)

"Oh man that minivan didn't even see me coming"
"Take that 95' Toyota corolla"
"You just got served stock mazda who's talking shit now?"
"CRAP IS THAT A COP?"

Where are you driving that you always have other people on the road to play with? I sooo rarely engage with anyone

this^

An Acura TL... lolz! ;)

$584.99

The Stage 3 Golf R tune is fuel limited, I heard rumblings about a new LPFP when I had the kit first installed last year. I got one of the Golf R kits with an upgraded TTRS fuel pump and TTRS controller which were installed. Then APR could that they overheat under high load and cut out which is a big problem. So they paid Kurt to have them removed, and refunded me the difference between how much I paid for the kit when it still had those 2 parts in it, and when they changed the kit to no longer need them. Was really cool of them to do that.

They even let me keep both the TTRS pump and controller, I need to find out what to do with them...

INTERESTING. so that was related to this kit here...

Nope, again it's something my dumbass was able to complete successfully. I used the zip tie method to pull them out. Basically just take 2 large zip ties and make large loops out of them so that you can slide a loop on the front and back of the coil and just pull straight up.

Out by 90 and randall road, typically at the 3-2 lane merges. That and sometimes when going 90 west typically on fridays when traffic is lighter after barrington road exit usually frees up. I just wish i was commuting westbound in the morning instead of eastbound..practically no traffic

i feel like everytime i have my car out in the algonquin/crystal lake/lake in the hills area there is always someone who wants to race on randall road... lots of kids out there with 240s and mommy daddy funded cars.

side note: anyone get the new ko4 file yet? i got my sensor and after i pass emissions today im gonna have it uploaded onto my car. pretty stoked.... one of the guys i work with said he wasn't a big fan cuz it was all top end instead of low end. but i think that's nice seeing that you can actually put the power to the ground now.

Marc people try to fuck with you because your car is really really low, really really loud, really really obviously modded. That doesn't count :D
