    Feeler: 35 Edition front bumper, unpainted

    tl;dr - I have an unpainted, still wrapped 35 Edition front bumper that I ordered from ECS a few years back and never mounted, and since then the car has moved on in life! Doing some spring cleaning and the wife has asked why a bumper for a car we don't own is still in the garage, so off to the...

    RLS Coding Notes

    So after getting the Auto switch and rain light sensor installed via the retrofit guide, the last piece was that the Auto function was not working for headlights. Basically with the switch in the Auto position, the headlights were on 24/7. I verified that the OFF/ON signals were being passed...

    Boost Sender Q

    So this is what I see when my car is switched on without engine running; I should be at 0, correct? Don't know if there's a way to recalibrate this thing or not. It would explain why I see vac at -26 and max boost at 15 :)

    Argh, why do people steal valve stem caps?

    I'm missing those too. Both went missing on the same drive and I chalked it up to them just falling out, but another part of me wouldn't be shocked if they got nicked. People fucking suck.

    Argh, why do people steal valve stem caps?

    On my wife's T-reg, I notice yesterday someone nicked two (just the front) of the valve stem covers that say "N2" on them. Why? Argh. /rant

    RLS retrofit - need thoughts

    So I'm hard at work on this stupid dot. This is what I've got so far for work, I cannot figure out if there are remnants of the dot still there, if I need to re-sand this (320-400-600-1000-1500-2000) or just polish more? Thoughts and advice welcome. Fwiw, aircraft remover doesn't do anything to...

    removing rear view mirror mounting dot

    Has anyone done the rain sensor retrofit and attempted to use something like aircraft remover for removing the dot? I'm wondering if it'll ease the removal as opposed to sanding, scraping and using an angle grinder. Just curious, thanks!

    Plasti dip on 18" OZ Superturismo

    So i picked up a set of OZ SuperT's on the cheap and wanted to test out how they would look dipped. The clear coat was peeling off on two of the wheels so I started there. Given how they look "finished", I'll probably take them down to base, strip the test of the clear coat from the two affected...

    OZ 45th Anniversary Wheels

    OZ 45th Anniversary on TireRack I've got to be honest.. I don't hate them. Wondering if I should mix it up from what I've got now.

    Upper Timing Cover removal

    Does this guy need to come out? Or just wedge and pry until the cover pops off?

    Compression Spec #'s - anyone have handy?

    VCDS - "Error Group Not Available" + low RPM misfire

    Looking for some guidance here. I've been getting some low RPM misfires, and while trying to do some data logging with VCDS, after 10-20 seconds of a logging block being open, it will go red with "Error: Group XXX not available". If I close the Measuring Blocks and re-open, I can bring up the...

    Well, this graph doesn't look fun.

    Replaced the o-ring at the turbo outlet pipe, the old one was shredded, and upgraded a couple of worm clamps to t-bolts. Time to check the lines at the turbo now I guess. Any Stage 3/3+ owners with 115 and 002 logs I can compare to? How often are people seeing their DV or PCV sh*t the bed? The...

    Water really killing the rear O2?

    Is the prevailing wisdom that the condensation/water in the exhaust that is resting in people's J-spacers are killing oxygen sensors? This likely appears to be the second sensor in five months that I'll need to replace - I've angled my J-spacers and reset codes, only for the following to...

    Horn Replacement Q

    For anyone who has replaced their stock horns with an aftermarket option - did you just cut the existing wiring and add spade connectors? To "fit" I think I am going to have to cut and lengthen the wiring anyway. If anyone needs a photo of what I'm talking about, let me know. They're Hella...

    Hatch Cargo Cover Lift Strap/Attach Points

    So other than my straps being broken, the attachment point on the trunk itself is snapped off on both sides. Have people repaired these? Thanks.

    Corroded radiator end tanks?

    Just curious if that would be the consensus here, or if this is dried coolant dripping from a source higher in the engine. Have noticed a drop of coolant on the garage floor every few days, but nothing with regularity. Coolant expansion tank is slightly above minimum after topping off six months...
