    2016 Ford Focus RS

    I began this in the R forum because this particular vehicle is Ford's answer to the Golf R. Impressive specs...but I saw one in a local Ford showroom for $48K. $48K??? Really???? For that kind of money, I could buy a used R, drop a turbo-charged 3.6 in it and run rings around the Focus. Or...

    Mark VI R vs. WRX STI

    My GTI got hammered by a blonde bimbo in an Explorer last year, and the Accord V6 daily driver just isn't doing it for me. Mk6 R's are a scarce commodity...STI's are about as bad, but they are out there. I am torn...I've owned 4 GTI's, and want to buy the R. But there's a '15 STI base with...

    Sad day for my car

    My airbags did not deploy, either...and the damage to my front end is considerably worse than yours: Bear in mind that I was hit from the rear before I impacted a guard rail, and that is what caused this damage. Perhaps the fact that the rear of the vehicle was struck before the front-end...

    Gotta love chicks who text while driving...

    Where she hit me...not all that badly damaged. Where I was knocked into the guard rail...most likely totaled the car. My GF and I were in the car...the driver of the other car(2007 Explorer)and her little girl were all OK. Now I have to deal with her insurance...GEICO.:mad:

    MKVI Stage 2 Uni Vs. E36 M3

    From the dig...twice-same result both times. BMW got the jump, and I reeled him in and pulled a car length before I had to back off for traffic. Love it when the weather cools down and heat soak isn't so much of a consideration. I did really like how that M3 sounded...still a sweet little ride.

    2014 Lexus IS F Sport 3.5

    I was at a light turning right on red...traffic cleared and I turned. An IS F 3.5 ran through the red behind me and was on my bumper...he pulled into the left lane and it was on. From about 20 MPH to 90, were were door-to-door...at a bit over 90 he began to pull on me. At 100 I backed off, and...

    What's up with SPM? Options on a engine,tranny mount?

    Looking to buy a SPM mount kit (SPM #CH10-600Z-KN10-0), but no one has it in stock, nor can tell me how long it'll take to get one. Anyone know what's up? Any recommendations on a different mount kit for about the same price?

    Best suspension mods for Stage 2, 2+?

    I tried a couple of searches, but there are so many hits coming back, I don't know which thread will address my specific question. With that in mind, I thought I'd begin a new thread asking...I appreciate input. I am currently running a Uni Stage 2, and can see the day where I may go K04 and...

    Why all the hype about R8 coil packs?

    I run a Unitronic Stage 2 tune, and thought about putting them in. I asked both Unitronic and the service adviser at the dealership that did the tune(he runs a 2012 GTI with K04 and Stage 2+). According to both sources, the R8 won't add any HP or added performance. So... Why the hype? Or is...

    How old is the average GTI owner here, and how many have you owned?

    I'd wager that most are over 30. I am 55...on my fourth GTI-first one was a 1985 Mark I.

    Touch-up paint for 2014 GTI wheels...

    The stock wheels on mine are a painted aluminum...gray finish. Asked the dealership about it, and they were no help. Anyone know the OEM supplier so I could get some from them? I have a scrub mark I'd like to cover.

    How do I keep the factory warranty intact?

    Just bought a '14 GTI(my fourth GTI:cool:), and I'd like to hear from those informed what kind of mods won't void the factory warranty. I know that a VW dealership in NC will install Unitronic tunes(I am considering a Stage 1+), so I know they'll honor the warranty there. Problem is they are 2...
