I bought new coils packs from ECS and installed them with new plugs at 60,000. Fact is, none were exhibiting any problems and now I'm trading car- so 4- clean, functional OEM coils packs for a steal at $40 shipped. These are $100/4 new. If you need one or just want to have spares, great deal...

Cable for accessing 2005 and newer VW data and making certain coding adjustments. There is no "manual" from Ross Tech, just downloadable users manual and lots of tips on here about coding changes. You download the software from Ross-Tech site. I have used for codes, setting some lighting and...

Well, I learned a great deal from this forum and have had 4 great years with my '11 GTI. Did some mods early on (APR Stage 2, BSH Intake, UR Downpipe, and some minor interior stuff). The car has been outstanding. I'll say now (I've been afraid to jinx myself) that I have 60,000 on Stage 2 with...

Trading my 11 GTI MKVI. I have had a Blendmount radar detector mount for Escort. This is by far the best mount I have ever had. Custom to the mirror, machined from a block of aluminum, mounted high and secure. This is on their site as the fit for mirror VW#001. Blendmount.com Fits all Escort...

Pre-listing (no photos taken yet). Had on my GTI for 3+ years with APR Stage 2. Great intake, easy to install. Relocates MAF and removes restrictive OEM MAF housing. You can see complete pictures on BSH website. It is clean (few scuffs from being underhood), has all original hardware...

Flexible on style Karthoum or Denvers preferred. Open to others. October time frame. Steve

So my plan was to get my VMR wheels for 3 season use and use my Detroits for Winter. Got the VMR's - very happy. Detroits are detailed and in the VMR boxes in storage. This will be my first full winter with the GTI. As I am now thinking about ordering my winter tires from TR, I'm thinking about...

Well I'm at a light today when a nice clean Z4 pulls up next to me. I'm not an expert on these, but I'd say 2-3 years old max. From the side I noticed a "Supercharged" Badge on the fender (is this standard?). I don't think either one of us was looking for a race but when the light changed we...

I don't usually speed. But without really trying I got her up to 130 without a sweat. S

FYI - I bought this a few months ago and have been using it. I am very happy with the quality and performance. Harbor Freight has in today's circular the 1-1/2 ton Aluminum Racing Jack on sale for $59. You can also usually stack the 20% coupon for a single item on top to get this for $48. It...

I couldn't find anything on this exact install, so I took pictures. The OSIR comes with no instructions or hardware. You will need 9 Torx screws and 5 speed clips from VW. Current part#'s are: 5 - 90959101 Speed Nut 9- 90974701 Torx Screw Total cost $5. You'd think they could throw it in to...

Got my new OSIR CF Lip for my MK6. I've been worried about a lack of clear instructions and what I will need. and sure enough - it came with nothing. I had ordered hardware based on a post for the VW lip spoiler so I had exactly what I needed. I took pics so there's a full DIY write as well. Car...

I had picked these jack pads up several months ago and finally got around to putting them in today. They fit very nicely in the MK6 - front ones go into a hole in the subframe (covered by a plastic cover from the factory and the reads go also into subframe hole. There is a very heavy rubber...

I haven't seen this well posted and they were very hot at WF17 so... and I waited a day to make sure I got my order in. Now - please don't start a "I don't want to pay to advertise" rant...but, for those who are interested APR has launched their new Stage X badging. You apparently use the # of...

Just picked up my '11 GTI which had a UR downpipe (with Cat & Res) installed today and APR Stg 2 flash. Observations- 1. Shop said that the fitment on the UR was perfect - very easy install. 2. Easy flash to Stg 2 - no issues 3. The Ultimate Racing DP (with stock catback) seems to have...

You know sometimes new parts just aren't "broken in" whether it's friction of binding and once they got it to latch - may be good forever now. I mean if you can't get it to repeat, how's it any different from every other car on the road? Steve

I have an Escort 8500 that I determined I bought new 9 years ago. It's seen a lot of use, paid for itself many times over, and spent a lot of time wedged in between the seat, under the seat, etc. It's pretty cosmetically beat up. I started getting false laser alarms some time ago and they were...

I got the LCD back and it's worth it. In addition to being able to line up with "live feed" it also allows you to playback to review AND shows the menu in english when going through settings. The abbreviated settings on the little LCD on the front are very cryptic. It makes the whole unit a...

Forget the booth - without a mask! (actually, that explains a lot about this mod)

Well, I just ordered my GP Motorsport HD camera Kit. Looking forward to trying some outside the car angles of driving (and hopefully exhaust sounds). I also recently got my headrest camera mount so I can have my Sony Digital Inside with the GoPro outside. Looking forward to it! Vids to...
