When I get in the car, and crank the wheel to back out of my spot, there is a muted popping sound..I can also hear it when turning at super low speeds.....I cannot hear it over 10 mph....probably because of engine/road noise. I'm at 9900 miles. This started AFTER I installed a FSB and Deadset...

I have a 4 door manual with 9.5K miles on it, with DG Springs, APR sways (soft front, rear medium) and stock dampers. Suspension gurus throughout this forum confirm that the Bilstein B6/B8 is the way to go with this setup for handling performance, and Bilstein is generally acknowledged tobe the...

Staying away from a tune because: 1. Lots of cool cars coming out in 2014 and I don't know how long I will keep this and don't want the "TD1" on it for resale purposes. Also, I can pull and resell all of the below items, unlike a tune. 2. Have a manual and don't want a new clutch. So, if...

Significant other has a $380.00 credit at Best Buy we have decided to use on a radar detector. Neither of us speed in town, basically it will be used on road trips....we live in the west where there are long stretches of vacant roadway, and the urge to go 90, not 70 is great....but not without...

I realize one of the primary purposes of this forum is to share information, but there's never anything wrong with saying thank you, and I do so below: Had my first mechanical "mods" completed on 12/22, which consisted of front/rear Hotchkis/APR sways, DG springs and the Tyrol Dead Set Rigid...

I was in my dealer showroom a few months ago waiting for an oil change..(limited time schedule, was driving by, they could do it BAM) was looking at a few cars in the showroom....the first was a hybrid Toureg....which was priced at, as I recall, 58K? It looked overpriced by 20K. On the...

Ordered Hotchkis Sway Bars and DG Springs (And the outlandishly priced Tyrol Rigid Collar Subframe Kit.....Grambles if I find out you are on the take from Tyrol you are going to owe be drinks next time I am in the Redneck Riviera). I am keeping the stock dampers, for now....7200 miles on the...

So a forum member has had his black base model 2011 four door GTI for sale now since April, 2012. It is the one with the Black Currant VMRs. Let's say he got a good price, $23,000? He then goes to his APR installer and says "I want to go (almost, a + away) as fast as I can."....Gets Stage 3...

Yes, I know, this is not a sexy piece of interior badassery like a boost gauge, but if you have a children, you gotta put them in child seats, and this one is of excellent quality, and a sporty and attractive interior piece vs. some brown piece of plastic from Wal-Mart. The description and...

First: If I don't get back to work instead of reading this forum I'm not going to have money for food, let alone mods. So here is my last discussion for the day: I live in the low desert in California. It gets super hot....a couple of months where temps around 110 for highs is a likely...

I have a new 2012 GTI. I've done quite a bit of reading on this forum and VWVortex before joining to keep the stupid questions to a minimum, but hey, no guarantees! I live here in the desert in California. California has highs (great weather) and lows, which include, but are not limited to...

Just got a 2012 GTI and the first mod I am considering is new springs/sway bars. (A tune would be awesome but not until I figure out how I'm not going to avoid voiding my powertrain warranty, which is a topic for another section). I'm not doing coilovers, because I'm not in it for the...

Just got a 2012 UG 4door GTI last month. No packages, still has everything I need and nothing I don't. (Admittedly the ability to store wine, women AND shotguns under the front seats is a feature I have not previously had in a vehicle). LOVE the availability of 20 million +/- aftermarket...
