Hi guys..not sure if its me...or my car. :) I have an APR stage 1, '11 6-speed manual. For some reason, when driving slow (taking off from a stop), under a light load, the car drives fine. As soon as it hits 2500 rpm, it almost feels like there's a sudden kick and acceleration (doesn't feel...

This has happened twice now...I hope it doesn't lead to anything major. While driving around at night (PS, A/C was off, so its not condenser load or anything), both footwell lights would flicker into highest brightness mode a couple of times before going back to dim version. :confused::confused:

I just found it kind of weird, considering that the GTI is aimed more towards the car enthusiast. I know they're almost the same car, but even then. Do the Euro GTIs come with a boost gauge?

Just wondering whether anyone has ever regreted getting a tune or modding their cars. I generally keep my cars close to stock, with minor modding (slightly lowered..wheels, tint) and even then I sometimes regret I touched a thing. This is more just a curiosity thread. :) *Crap..Mods...can this...

Hi folks, With temperatures reaching triple digits here in sunny socal, I'm in need of a sun shade. I have one but it was from a previous car and doesn't fit too well...too long, cutout for rearview mirror doesn't really fit and etc. Anyone have any suggestions or recomendations as to which...

Hey folks, I'm planning on having a set of eibach pro-kits installed. I figure I might as well go for some shocks/struts to prolong longevity. I don't want a stiffer ride. I'm looking for something as close to the stock ride feel, as possible. Any recommendations? I'm eyeing the Koni yellows due...

I'm looking at a set of wheels that are: 17x8 et+42 73mm hub...will these poke out like a mofo? Will they clear my '11 GTI brakes? I currently run the stock detroit 18s and will be dropped via eibach pro-kits soon. I prefer the OEM look, hence I'm looking at these 17s. Thanks folks!

Hey guys...I'm trying to decide between the Miro M02 or VMR V710. I'm thinking 18", and non-staggered. The VMRs seem to be a perfect match to our GTIs in terms of fitment. ET45, hubcentric, stock lugs and etc. 8.5" Anyone know how the Miro fits? Are they hubcentric? Do I require aftermarket...

I know its a silly question..especially since I'm not quite sure where our redline is..I have a '11 and strange (although cool looking) graphics for our tachometer. Is it 6000 rpm? 7000? Reason I'm asking is because I downshifted and the tacho jumped to 6000 rpm, but no cut-off sputter, and...

Hi folks, I'm planning on picking up some 18" VB710s....Will the stock tires (I have a '11 GTI) fit? I know its 7.5 vs 8.5...but was hoping I could change them up once the stockers are worn down.
