    Repeatability of rear alignment setting

    Curious if someone has tried this. How repeatable can you get with the alignment setting for the rear? We have an eccentric bolt for the rear alignment adjustment and if I mark the clocking of the bolt can I get repeatable adjustment at different clock position? I have access to an alignment...

    Nissan Sentra NISMO...

    Hmm a thread about Nissan Sentra...sure why not... http://jalopnik.com/nissan-sentra-nismo-concept-is-a-sentra-you-actually-wa-1468508547 I was kinda hoping the Juke powertrain would go to a Sentra, so this is pretty cool. Though I think I still want a Juke in a proper Econobox Hatchback-ish...

    TSB Question...

    I have a friend who is looking at a 2012 GTI, the seller claimed that his car has had a TSB work done in relation to the clutch of the 6MT. And that his car, despite being a stage 1 Revo car had it's clutch replaced under a TSB after complaining to the dealer for some noise. He claimed the...

    Questionable things I see under the car today...

    Went to a friend's house to use to the lift to bleed the brake and doing a general look around. I noticed some oil seepage between the transmission and the crank case: Some oily spots around the passenger CV area on the transmission casing(does that look crack to you?): And some oiliness...

    Road Trip! or another CSB...

    Over the 4th of July period a group of us embarked on another road trip down from Detroit area to the TN/NC area near Deals Gap, also known as Tail of the Dragon. Yet again I am the odd ball car out of a group of motorcycle riders. The motivation for the trip as usual is to just get away from...

    Drop-In Filter And Noise

    So recently I put in a drop-in K&N Panel filter, not particularly because of performance but more because I can wash and reuse. I did this a few weeks back and it was a bit cold still around here, so mostly I drove with my windows up. Now I drive with them open, I seem to notice a lot more turbo...

    RacingManiac's GoPro Dump

    So I decided I might as well make a consolidated spot for some AutoX video for this season....and now I learned how to embed....:P. My video won't be as entertaining as bimmer635csl's video, event though many of these events overlap(we are in the same area...lol). I also don't have his VBOX so...

    So I've been wanting to put some thoughts down after the switch. So here is a recap of what led me here...this is going to be a wall of text with some pics and generally a CSB....:D Since switching out of snow tire in April 2012, I went to a set of 17" wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sports in...

    Mud Flap

    Contemplating on installing the front one with now wider tires/track. Trying to make sure I am understanding the install correctly. This is the part: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_VI--2.0T/Exterior/Body/Splash_Guard/ES1833776/ Do I need any additional hardware/fasteners? Or just...

    Bug problem?

    So after the last autoX, I got a ton of these little red clover mites(tiny red/orange bug) all over my car, inside and out. The lot we use is full of them, and the stuff I emptied out my car had them crawling all over, and once you had to move the stuff back on the car, they are inside too. As...

    P0491 on Stock Hardware

    After some searching I am not too sure how the older topics relate. I just got a CEL on the way home and pulling the code its a P0491 Secondary Air Injection System, Insufficient Flow. Most of the topic I've seen relates to either K04 car or people doing intake install. Aside from stage 1 flash...

    Tire Size question...

    Anyone have fit 255/40/17 on the car before? This will be for stock suspension, on 17x8 ET50 wheels. I am running 245/40/17 right now but just looking ahead to maybe next year...I think 255 on 8" wheels is pushing it a bit, but if it fits otherwise I might try to do it... Also as is now this...

    New OPT No Rinse: Wash and Wax?

    Anyone tried it? I think this is relatively new. I've pretty much been using the regular OPT No Rinse for the last 2 years, and I am pretty happy with it. This is supposed to give you more protection between washes.... http://www.optimumcarcare.com/onrwnw.php?li=2

    Some warranty question

    Ok, so my car is now at about 32k miles, the way I've been driving it'll probably hit 36k in a couple of months, which as you know is the end of bumper to bumper. Is it typical for owners to bring the car in before you hit that mark to inspect for issues even if nothing really specific? Do...
