    10" Dubaudio Fiberglass Subwoofer Enclosure

    I had a 10" Dubaudio subwoofer enclosure that was in my MK6 GTI for sale. It was just under 1 cubic gross giving me about .75 cubic foot net with my 10" Type R that was installed. It went in the trash on 06/27/2019 due to lack of interest and is no longer available.

    FS: Enkei PF01 17x8 w/hub centric rings

    I have a set of silver Enkei Racing PF01 17x8 ET50 wheels that could use some TLC with Pilot Super Sports on them in need of replacing. Two of the wheels were curbed pretty bad when I was run off the road by someone driving like an idiot. My intention was to get them refinished, but...

    FS: Ross-Tech Micro-CAN

    I have a genuine Ross-Tech Micro-CAN that has been used a dozen times max between the three Volkswagens that my wife and I owned at once upon a time. I'm asking $150, shipped, OBO, CONUS, anywhere a flat rate USPS box will go. If you want a different shipping method, you pay the difference!

    It is almost time to say goodbye to VW ownership

    Well, the time is approaching to say goodbye to VW. The car that I loved to hate will be traded as soon as possible because I'm back in full-on hate mode with it. I'll probably end up listing my VW specific items on the forum and if they sell, they sell. If not, I'll find someone else to pass...

    Would you buy this?

    Lol, something similar has been told to me about my MK6. I had one friend, who is no longer with us, who would clown me till no ends by saying: "Man your car looks great from the front, to the side, until you get to the back. Did they just give up and square off the back or something? It's...

    Toyota Supra 2018/19

    I could have purchased one in 2007 for $7,500 from a friend of mine. The only problem was that he had just put over $9k into it the year prior to offering it to me for $7,500 and I was scared it would become a money pit. It ended up being totaled by a utility truck literally running over it...

    This forum is almost dead

    With my water pump going out last month and my radiator starting to leak this month, all I can say is if this trend continues, I'm ditching the GTI soon! I generally expect to get to 100k before I need to start spending $200 to $300 replacing parts that fail every month, not 60,000 miles where...

    Pilot Sport A/S 3+ vs Pilot Super Sport

    I have a new job and am considering going with Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires over Pilot Super Sports due to the slightly longer wear life and the fact that our winters have been harsher than usual. I'm also driving a lot more than usual. Realistically, what kind of diminished performance will I...

    What're you gonna do with your tax refund?

    What is this refund of which you speak? Despite the fact that my estimated payments should put me at a break even point, I always owe. As a result, I file the day before the due date! Granted, I don't owe much because the net between my State refund and Federal Tax due is $500. Part of me is...

    How should our cars do compared to the Speed3

    I was just wondering how our vehicles should compare to the Speed3 once rolling? I ask because I came upon an obviously modified Speed3 on Saturday and he punched it at 30 MPH and seemed rather peeved that I stuck with him up until we hit traffic and had to slow down. Truthfully, I thought...

    It's Happening... Subaru STI to get new engine.

    The new WRX/STI chassis is WAY stiffer than the old ones. As a result, it rides way rougher than the previous model but handles like it is on rails compared to the prior generation. I still want one, lol.

    So my Buyback Offer just arrived, time to get serious about what to buy...

    Dang, I have a UV allergy and can't stand vehicles with sunroofs, yet all of the fully loaded ones come with a freaking sunroof. I can only enjoy them at night so I find them rather useless. :(

    My new car search has begun...

    The good news is I just want another car whereas I don't actually need another vehicle for any particular reason. Also, it looks like I am about to get suckered into another six months at my current contract position, so it makes no sense to purchase a new vehicle that will just get beat up on...

    My new car search has begun...

    Big turbo is a little over the top for a FWD vehicle. Technically you need better motor internals and fueling support in addition to everything needed for a K04. I'm guessing both DSG clutch packs and a LSD would be recommended in my case, so that 8k budget just grew a few more thousand. Not...

    Test drove a 2015 Civic Si

    Out of all the manual transmission vehicles that I ever owned, the 6 speed in my 2007 6MT accord was the best shifting factory installed manual that I ever owned. I liked it better than the manual transmissions in my 1997 Civic, 2006 Mustang GT, and 2012 WRX.

    My new car search has begun...

    The weird thing is that I heard conflicting reports when it comes to going with a K04. Some have told me that it moves the power band further down the RPM range, which I think I would like. Others who have K04s have complained that there is too much low end power. I'm guessing like...

    My new car search has begun...

    The car just hit 40,000 miles after three years of ownership, so I figure a K04 would get me at least another 3 years of enjoyment out of it. :D I'm actually over the healing phase for the extraction and placement of dental implants. The only thing I am waiting on now is for the crowns to be...

    My new car search has begun...

    You're going to laugh, but I am seriously considering going to a K04 and just running the GTI until it starts giving me more issues than I want to deal with. In the long run, that would be cheaper than starting over with a new car and modifying it. I guess it all boils down to me living with...

    My new car search has begun...

    Nothing yet. I am too much of a cheapskate! I will say that I don't like the Challenger or a Camaro with a sunroof. Why does every freaking Camaro on the lot have a damn sunroof? Despite my hate/hate relationship with the dealership, a MK7 R is still on the table. The other contenders are...
