I'm not taking about a short shift kit. I want to actually lower the height of the shift lever/knob. Has anybody done this? I just don't like how tall the shifter stands in the car. My old MS3 short shifter mechanically reduced the throw, but also reduced the height of the knob due changing...

So I have noticed this issue where whenever I put a window down and then roll it back up, there will be smears of moisture all over the outside of the window. It does it on both front windows, don't often put the back ones down so I don't know if it affects those. What this suggests is that...

Hey guys, looked around on the web a bit and couldn't find an install for these that was specific to the Golf R so I kinda winged it. Ended up being a pretty straight forward install but I figured I'd do a write up on it anyway. I've gotten a lot of benefit from other people's DIY's so thought...

Hey Im a VW n00b I just got my 2013 Golf R last night. I'm coming from an '08 Mazdaspeed 3, and I got pretty familiar with that platform, installed a bunch of bolt on's and whatnot, but these turbo'ed VW engines are a little bit different. Whats the best place to brush up on general info about...

Hey guys, first post on the forum. Just did a deal on a '13 Golf R, my first VW. Coming from an '08 Mazdaspeed 3, loved the old girl, but it was time for her to go. But anyway I wanted to ask if any of y'all are using hatch liners or similar on your cars. I ran a couple searches but didn't...
