What did you do to your MK6 today?

[Knotical]

Anyone else have the subframe mount bracket on their downpipe fail? Ultimate racing downpipe, the little hanger that runs between the subframe bracket and the downpipe itself just snapped. Not sure when.

I don't really see a reason it needs to be there honestly

Do you have upgraded mounts?

So that was the original plan when I had the YCW coils since the adjustment was done with 2 allen keys in there. With the ground control though I just loosen those three bolts and then can adjust the camber that way. you can see here the slots cut into the plate.

Got it

You can't just call them J's.

Spacer lives matter?

Yeah, 034 mounts and a dogbone insert. Thinking more I bet it failed when the original engine/trans mount went all sloppy.

I ignored my GTI and drove my wife's Cruze. Helga isn't happy, she's making a nasty tapping noise.

You want it on there. The motor mounts flexing will damage your flex pipe on the downpipe over time if it's not secured.

Finally found a shop near me that had the exhaust gaskets so I went out and got the cat and downpipe installed. No issues, but it's always a pain doing it, I wish I went with a full V-band exhaust.

Also started the install on the stratified aux fuel kit. I won't be able to finish it until the motor is in the car but the rest is really just plugging in sensors. I think the only irreversible modification is snipping the fuel line from the LPFP a few inches, besides that it's all plug and play. The fit and finish on it is really nice.

Thanks, I'll get it welded up ASAP. Probably won't cost much at a muffler shop

Flywheel resurfaced, new RMS, clutch, pressure plate and TOB are in. Transmission is roughly in place, I'm going to mount it up tomorrow when I've got a second set of hands to help.

Blew one of my injectors

Did it buy you dinner first at least?

added a zero performance, strictly noise making DV spacer. even though i know everyone immediately will say, "don't do that. no performance value. just get dv+. just get intake. etc. etc." While that may be true. I wanted more whoosh noises because even though I'm in my 30s, I'm still a child at heart and I want my car to go vroom and whoosh, lol.

That being said, man, the DV is hard to access! I got 2 of the 3 screws off pretty easily, but man.. that third screw had me struggling! I have big arms/hands and i just couldn't get leverage on the allen key i was using. Too bad we don't have it as easily accessible as the mk7s do.

Get some socket Allen’s. Much better then L-keys.
