WTS: Parting out my GTI - Endless MX-72 brake pads, UNIbrace XB, P3 Cars VIDI & MORE I'm moving and want this stuff gone! That doesn't mean I'll cave to lowball offers, but I'm motivated to get the bigger items out of my garage! I traded in my 2013 GTI 4 door DSG CBFA. I have the following...

Driving home from work the other night doing about 65mph, some ricer in a Cobalt tried passing me. It wasn't happening. Stomped on the gas, activated the kick down switch, got a hard downshift, then suddenly the check engine light came on. Car drove completely fine the remaining 20 miles home...

I had these springs on my car for only 9 months before upgrading to a full coil over kit. They're in excellent shape. $175 shipped to the lower 48.

I purchased a brand new Unibrace RB in red from the manufacturer and have never bothered installing it. Includes all the hardware and ships in the original box. $225 shipped to the lower 48. http://unibrace.com/product/series-rb/rb/

They're no better or worse than all the other consumer electronics junk (and by junk I mean almost everything made today) out there. I've had a few LG products and this is the first one I've had malfunction. Thursday evening we pulled the TV off the wall and opened it up to check for anything...

Thanks for the replies guys! Turns out her parents have a 46" in their spare bedroom that they aren't using so they're giving it to her. I'll probably still open up the LG 47" in question and poke around to see what I can find.

I agree that it's probably not the screen. It's mounted over the mantle so there's no way anything even touched it. And every example of a bad screen that I've seen was typically single rows of pixels gone bad. Not huge blocks like this. I plan to tear it apart this coming Saturday and check for...

Anyone here have any experience repairing LCD/LED TV's? My girlfriend has a 2 1/2 year old LG 47" 47LV440-UA that is now displaying either a solid blue/purple rectangle or a distorted image in the same location. This TV only really has a power supply PCB, and a main board PCB in addition to the...

I just got a Costco membership last week. Their 93 Octane is significantly cheaper than the Sunoco that I usually run. As of 2014, Costco is bragging that their gas is Top Tier (mostly a marketing gimmick). Before I go waste money on a full tank and log timing correction factor with VAG Com...

I'm a car guy. I love cars. One hardly gets past me on the road that I can't recognize. If someone suddenly blindfolded me while I was driving, I could probably tell you the make, model, and approximate year of every car around me. Driving home from work today I saw what I thought was a...

Back in June I installed the TyrolSport Dead Set kit and all new OEM bolts in my front subframe. All was good for a few weeks until I took it to a track day at Mid-Ohio on July 7. I got a really minor clunk when taking fast, hard corners. Ever since then, it's been down hill from there. Now it...

I bought my GTI last August and have racked up over 16k on the clicker. I had heard mention of the kickdown switch in a couple of threads, but never really bothered to think about it. Even having done two track days with the car, I never activated it. Last night I was reading about it in a...

After purchasing my GTI last August, I got it on the track once last fall at Nelson Ledges and had a blast. Surprisingly, I was only 1 of 2 VW's at an event with ~150 cars! How many of you could be interested in hitting the track a few times this summer? Here are a few that I'm tentively...

My buddy who is a VW tech installed my SuperPro anti lift kit LCA mounts, Driver Gear Springs, and sway bars for me. This meant, of course, dropping the front subframe. After he got it all back together, he couldn't get the camber equal on the left and right. Left: -1.16deg (-1deg 10min)...

I've Googled and Googled until I couldn't Google anymore and can't find an answer to this... I'm considering the Porsche Boxster NQSBBK brake upgrade. Does anyone know if these calipers will fit under the Laguna wheels without spacers? And I'm guessing that I'm SOL with my 16" alloy winter...

I've got it stuck in my head that my GTI needs a LSD. HS Tuning is pretty close to me and sells the Peloquin units. I've found plenty of threads here and elsewhere on the interwebs of people talking about how they've had one installed for them. Has anyone here actually done the job them self...

**** CAR HAS BEEN SOLD AS OF OCTOBER 2016 **** I purchased my 2013 GTI Driver's Edition DSG in Carbon Steel Grey in August 2013 to replace a 2011 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X that was killing me on gas. In April '13 I took a new job that increased my daily commute from zero (I worked from home) to...

We get the joy of Prestige up here in Cleveland too. The entire business is laughable. I've had them open the car door and drop the package in the middle of the driveway. Another time they delivered my package to the lady four houses down the street.... and it was NINE days late. (Amazon had...

I didn't. I ordered Thursday. UPS, being a strategic business partner of Amazon, made a business commitment to them to deliver packages on time. They failed. No ill will against any of the individual workers. This failure was at the corporate level. If they saw their system getting that backed...

Yeah, it could have been a lot worse than it was for me. My brother is an adult and will get his gift that I ordered last Thursday tomorrow. No big deal. The other package was a replacement K&N filter for my Carbonio intake. Whenever it gets here, it gets here. No biggie. I feel far worse for...
