    17x9 +30 ET - any issues?

    Hi all, I am specifically looking at these wheels: http://www.ebay.com/itm/17x9-ESR-SR11-5x112-30-Hyper-Black-Wheels-Rims-Set-4/232515565221?epid=2164871650&hash=item362301f6a5%3Ag%3Ar2kAAOSw3pVZ2T1Q Or at least something with similar specs. Would I be able to safely run these with 225 tires...

    Coilovers installed, alignement done...now car feels "off" suddenly?

    So about 4-5 months ago I had my BC Racing coilovers installed and an alignment done immediately after. All was well with the alignment and everything was in spec. All of the sudden this past week, my steering/suspension has started acting really weird. To give an example, when changing lanes...

    Custom Suede Headliner

    Not sure how often this has been done around here, but long story short, my headliner took a crap on me and started sagging like crazy in multiple spots! Must be something about German glue and Florida heat. VW didn't want to help me with the repair, so I went the custom route and had a...

    Accidentally used Mobil 1 5w-30 - am I okay?

    So I changed my oil today and used Mobil 1 5w-30 - not the ESP stuff, by mistake. Will I be okay for another 3k or so until I change the oil again? I realize its not 100% VW approved but should I be okay for a little while? Thanks!

    APR Tune - Car not at full power at first?

    I suppose this is kind of a noob questions, but I was hoping that Arin or anyone else could chime in that has more access to technical data than I do, as I have no boost gauge. My butt-dyno seems to feel that even after driving the car for the first 10 minutes or so, even when the engine temp...

    Will MKV Jetta Leatherette work?

    Just wondering if Jetta leatherette seats would fit into our GTI? I know the MKV and MKVI GTI seats are interchangeable, and wasn't sure how these would jive in the GTI, although I would imagine they'd be fine.

    Okay, so here's a really weird question...groin pain?

    So I'm fully embarrassed to post the question, but it's been racking my brain and I had to get out out to fellow Vdubbers to see if I'm an isolated case. I love the GTI's seats, however, it seems like there is a sweet spot in terms of seating position for me and if I'm not in it, I get this...

    A Stage 1 Impression

    So I bit the bullet today and was flashed to APR Stage 1, thanks to the summer special. The night before, a friend drove my car, as he'd never driven it before. He drove the car again today after the flash. His reaction - "What did you do with your old car? This is insane." and...

    Anyone with Carbon B Pillar Kit?

    Found here: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_VI--2.0T/Exterior/Body/ES401552/ Tried searching, but I haven't seem anyone with them on the actual car. My stock B Pillars have some swirl marks from the previous owner, so I think this would be a good way to cover that up, as well as avoid...

    Hit a curb...sideskirt fix?

    So unfortunately I hit a massive curb while a huge truck was pulling out of an entrance. I'm at work and can't post any pictures, but essentially a portion of my right side skirt has become dislodged, and it appears as one of the clips may he damaged. Just a few questions: 1.can't seem to find...

    Very stupid question inside...

    So this is my first German car, so first car with lug bolts instead of nuts. I also have these covering up my bolts. http://www.ecstuning.com/ES5993/ How do I take these things off? Once they are off, do wheel bolts come off just like lug nuts? Again, I know this question is quite dumb, but I...

    No love from MkIV or MkV guys?

    I'm new to the VW world (I was big into Toyota's before this) but I always had a soft spot for VW's. Now with my MkVI, I always like to give a thumbs up or a wave to my fellow GTI drivers. So far I've passed quite a few different MkIV and MkV's on the road, and they don't even acknowledge I'm...

    2 hours labor for Stage 1?

    So I'm planning to go APR Stage 1, and the VW shop right down the street from me told me it would be $190 for labor to perform the tune, or 2 hours worth of labor. I thought this seemed a bit excessive compared to other numbers I've seen tossed around. Anyone have any input? Thanks!
