that's what im hoping for out of this thing. nothing too heavy on mods, just practical upgrades to sounds and lighting.

My rear window shades arrived. Installed them. Looks pretty good, fit is not perfect, but good enough. now my dog won't be in direct sunlight. Might just leave them in. VW Part number is 5K3064363, which i had to go on UK eBay to procure.
Working on getting a hatch window shade as well.

Ive been looking at some of those companies like MAPerformance that also will do a free custom tune if you buy a AP from them, but I was wondering if i could get the custom tune at a later date. I am getting a downpipe, possibly a TBE, later on and don't want to get a custom tune for just the intake that I have then be stuck running their OTS Stage 2 map until I get a protein/e-tune for the new parts.

got the sport tech rear rotor & pads put on. Friggen M14 bolt was a bitch. took it to a shop to put some heat on it as i don't trust myself with a torch. hated having to pay for that. :thumbdown:
while i was there had the rear right bearing put in since all the hardware was already off. car is nice a quiet now. :thumbup:
Only problem left is the GTS G707 wheels and rubber. put them on, steering wheel shakes from 110kmh and up while accelerating and decelerating. took it back to the same place i got it from and they claimed the re-balanced all 4. Yes they said they have a Hunter road force balancing machine...never saw it. :iono:
Put them back on the car and that high speed shake is still there. Thought that there was something wrong with front end. took the wheels off....put back on the winter wheels and went for a drive. i was getting fuel trim the way i accelerated but NO shake. :happyanim:
so while I was at the shop I had them take a look at the wheels....they said all four were out of balance. so they removed the wheel weights and put on new ones...less weight the guy said then they put the GTS wheels back on and i took it on the highway. well.... no shake, until i hit 135kmh... so now what to do. :mad0259:
the one thing i did was take pictures of what the machine read of the balance done by the first shop. then i took pics after the re-balancing.
addle:
my first thought is that maybe the wheels are not true. Maybe break the bead and shift the tire and re-balance to see if that helps. Not really sure what to do. Love the wheels but the headache of trying to get these things balanced

The link where I bought it from?
Do it. I hesitated buying it for a long time. Just didn't want to drop the $200 on something I would hardly use. However, I think it's already paid for itself after one use. The coding, clearing of codes, and scanning different modules is so simple. Not only that, if you're mechanically inclined, you can diag and possibly fix issues without ever having to go a repair facility or dealership.

Note the new ones lock down the number of VINs you can use it on. If you pick up an older one it wont have this limitation.

Has anyone ever dealt with FCPEuro.com?
They have this 'lifetime replacement' guarantee of every part they sell, including items like brakes and even oil.
I emailed them about the oil and they said I would just have to return my used oil to get a full refund on the new oil I would have just purchased.
This seems blasphemous but apparently its legit. It's sounding like I will never have to pay for oil again.

Q: How can FCP Euro afford to offer this?
A: We only offer high quality parts and reputable brands. This makes warrantying everything for life a little easier, but we also consider free replacements the cost of business for keeping our customers happy and coming back for life.
That answer seems pretty irrelevant for oil (or any wear and tear item). But if it's real, I'm all over it.
