Man. What happened is just plain sad. I don't have a fix, I honestly don't know where to start, but I have questions... how the fuck did this guy get all this stuff in his room without someone asking questions?
noooooo do black springs - you have saffron! blue doesn't go with saffron! quick tell the powder coater to stop! coat the front springs if anything!
dude you are doing so much work to this thing - congrats and im looking forward to it all back together!
so basically "stage 2"... nice! And that's not 330 whp, correct? The reason I ask... I did some testing in mexico against a friend with a stage 1 tune on his eco boost mustang versus my mk7 gti with just a piggy back tune and it wasn't even fair...
arches national park hikes, canyonlands national park hikes, dead horse state park hikes, ran 5-9 miles everyday too in addition to hiking or biking everyday :)
Moab trip was great! Only MTB one day unfortunately (14miles though!)... rented from 'Bike Feind' in downtown Moab, they were great! Rode a $4,000 27.5" GT dual suspension and loved it!
lol^
the tank in the GTI is so damn small. 12 gallons and im typically filling up 10 gallons. it makes for very simple MPG mental math calculations haha
infrared thermometer for basic use - buy a cheapo amazon one or at least get the base model fluke?

:( sorry Mike
I had a wipe out down a small cliff recently on my MTB - literally caught the bike over my head behind me while falling down the cliff lol. Havent been out since.
wait. I missed that. did you drive across 1/2 of the country with those tires?
cosmetically all it seems to need is a re-spray/fill in plate holes on the front bumper. LOVE the color.
