What did you do to your MK6 today?

Incoming earth porn and car porn, pls don’t ban. Also this 3600mi road trip is sort of turning into 5k mi oops

Also, left foot/trail braking is magical once you finally figure it out.

In other news.. if anyone knows where to purchase a couple hundred g611 sensors and wants to become the new go-to plug for the entire US with me let me know ha. You could make a fucking killing selling these on ebay

Definitely a nice price on that radiator/sensor kit! Never heard of that site but glad you had a good experience.

LOL @ stocking up on the sensors. If you start doing that be sure to write a nice guide or do a Youtube video that properly illustrates how to remove the radiator. Most say to follow the intercooler swap guides out there (much more common job) that takes 2-3 hours but I've also found people saying you can get by wiggling the radiator out without removing the front bumper etc which cuts the time down to an hour or so. Labor is the killer with this whole situation.

Ricer'd my car after getting scolded at the last track day for only having a front tow hook and no rear. The oem hook was rusty so I shot it with some yellow spray paint

I'm tempted to put this in the Ricer Spotted thread...

 

[jay745]

Why do they bust your balls about that? Takes longer to drag somebody out of the dirt or?

Yeah basically. All the years I've been going to the track I've only had a front tow hook and that's been fine.

i was tempted to make the same comment

I wouldn't worry about it at all. Just someone who wants to feel important telling you that. In all my racing & rally days I've never run a rear tow hook or was required to do so. Things may be different now. Last time on track was 5 years ago & I had no tow hook front or rear.

Eh I threw it on, can't hurt having one in the rear as well. Some clubs are more lax than others, the guy who said something to me was exactly that, just wanted to feel important.

I agree throwing one on was the thing to do. If I'd been told I'd put one on too.

Looks nice, but if I got an S2000 I want Suzuka Blue.

Finally on my way back to Texas, I’ll miss California for sure.

Hopefully this weekend the new K04, TBE, TOP, throttle pipe, 18z F/r, IC, sway end links, etc. can be installed. Very excited, assuming the hardware kits have all shipped..

edit: has anyone tried the UroTuning 02 spacer? Worth it or does any universal one work?

My favorite part is that I got everything for less than a new APR/Uni/CTS K04 kit since it’s all used
