Nothing. I'm just taking a vacation and wanted to rent something. Plus I don't like having to switch back to a gasoline tune

 

well you did rent "something" you never stated something good

 

I don't mind it. It has decent enough power. The transmission tables could use tweaking, especially at wot, but I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate that.

 

What they don't know won't hurt them haha

 

Today drI Bing with recaros made me wonder... How the hell I could deal with the lsj seats so long! The recaros give you so much more support, and they are comfy

 

Put my Ottp springs on, ZZP coils which I now have to take back off, and put some pilot super sports on. Excited for the nice weather coming up!

 

^ I actually did my ottp springs,koni rear shocks, and oem front struts today. Car is totally different now, just waiting on my control arms....

Damn I've been busy this weekend

 

I've been SUPER miserable the past few days, to the point I didn't have the energy to even get out of bed to use the bathroom. But today I felt much better and decided to at least do something in carbon fiber until I can get my damn polishing supplies. Snail gave me the idea. I got the driver side done and the passenger side will be done maybe tomorrow.

 

that looks badass

 

Your welcome and it sure looks good

 

Agreed!!

 

I picked up mine in August. So comfortable and they look really cool too.

 

My car had never had struts put on, still on the factory ones. I replaced all 4 and put some SSC springs on em with a Powell hardcore bar and its incredible the difference it made.

 

It's crazy isn't it? Suspension really wakes these cars up I'm wishing I started there instead of buying go fast shiny parts

 

Pulled the timing cover, found half a broken guide laying in the oil pan, found the guide bolt sheared off the face of the motor, replaced all the timing ****, other than the tensioner. putting the VC back on today, but have to pull the oil pan and get the damn guide and reseal it now.

it's been a blast.

 

But... but... but race car

 

removed (hacked out) stock intake, put this freshly painted beauty in..

 

No more bone stock. That intake is a real treat, isnt it?

 

That looks nice man!

 

Race cars don't have body roll!

 

Fyi, the stocker flows just as well as that noise maker

 

After I washed the car I decided to polish the headlights. They're not nearly as bad as my Integra lights got, but they were starting to get a haze and no me gusta. I had tried just the PlastiX polish stuff, but it didn't last long. I got the full restoration kit and tried it out. It looks pretty good. Time will tell though.

Before:



After:



The kit includes a 1000-grit sanding circle, 3000-grit, a little polishing/applicator thing for a drill, some plastiX polisher, and protectant. The edges weren't possible to clean with the headlights still on the car, but I wasn't worried enough to pull them out.

FWIW, my wife's VW Tiguan has identical miles and is also a 2009. Her headlights look better than mine AFTER polish. Some plastics are better than others.

 

But you have to spend money on go fast to make it a racecar, then its a racecar so you eliminate body roll

I like my noise maker though! That way everyone knows how cool i am! Have you heard these intakes through a tunnel?

 

sounds barely any louder than stock to me. the catback/dp won't sound stock though..

thanks! its fun so far

 

The key to headlight polishing is getting a clear coast made for the lense plastic and spraying them.
