    Downpipe brand?

    I'm a fan of APR and will likely end up jumping to K04, but their downpipe system is quite simply too pricey. For those of you who made the jump from stage 1 to stage 2 without the APR exhaust (either the full or just the required downpipe), which brand did you go with? There are several on...

    Door Key cover

    Left my headlights on a while back killing the battery. Popped off the cover and opened my car with the actual key and likely dropped that little piece of fiberglass/plastic and lost it. I called the dealer and they said the piece was about 12 buck but it was going to cost 75 f'n dollars to...

    Shitty gas

    So about 4 months ago I bought a bad batch of gas from the pump on base ... gave me hell for a good 6 weeks before I'd finally run the tank down enough times and refilled it at only the most reputable of places. It purred like a kitten for a few months before it started misbehaving again. It...

    CEL Woes

    So about 2 weeks ago my engine started doing some funky shit ... and the CEL (would flash initially) is now on 24/7. It all started after I filled up with "premium" 93 octane gas on base. I have a feeling that it either wasn't pure 93, was of a shitty quality, had water in it ... or something...

    I lol'd

    This is by no means representative of my average gas mileage. I was post call and sleepy so set the cruise control at 2mph over the HWY speed limit within the city. Light traffic, no need to touch brake or speed up. Ambient air temp 62 degrees. No net gain/loss in altitude. Reset the mpg...

    10k service

    Welp, I finally got around to my 10k service today at 10400 miles. I took my handbook's advice and didn't change the oil prior to this and had no problems. Engine is much smoother with a fresh batch of synthetic in it ... better throttle response and more mellow revving. Tires freshly...

    Rofl

    So I was on call at the hospital last night and the cafeteria was closed ... ordered a pizza which was promptly delivered by one of these: I guess I'm just not a big enough cult car enthusiast to know what it was when I saw it ... but it had "Thing" written along the side and big funky tires...

    APR help needed

    So yesterday my flash simply stopped working after changing programs at the gas station. I thought I was changing the program but in retrospect it seemed to be blinking faster than usual. I tried locking/unlocking with no success and now it simply doesn't respond to anything. Anyone had...

    I love the gas mileage

    Just got back from a round trip drive to Colorado from Texas for a bit of RnR. On the 1000 mile trip from my home town to Estes Park colorado (elevation gain of nearly 8000 feet) I averaged ..... ...... ..... .... ... .. . 36 miles per gallon (literally and to the T). My folks following in...

    GTI vs Mercedes C300

    Yeah I know, the goal of both cars are kinda different. Here are the specs: Price? Starts at 32-35k. Why am I comparing these two? My '10 GTI went into the shop to fix a manufacturer's defect in one of the windows. The only car they had to loan me from Enterprise was a brand new Mercedes...
