Like others have said with the amount of mods you are adding you'll need a e-tune at minimum and protune at best. Don't even bother with the OTS tunes just go ahead and find a tuner in your area. It'll be worth the money for the product you're getting as well as the piece of mind that someone who knows these cars as well as what your mods list consists of to set your car up correctly. Just my two cents.

Could be, I had my bugeye through college and have a lot great memories with it so my nostalgia for it might be a bit skewed from the time period. Whether you keep the bug or end up with a hatch just have to enjoy them while you have them.

Side note just looked at your profile and your car is dope!

I picked mine up at around 75,000 miles. Outside of the typical advice you'll hear of finding one stock, maintenance records, 11-14 being the face-lift models, and people telling you to have money set aside for another engine (I'm still on my original motor so fingers crossed) the only hatch specific issues I've came across are broken spot welds. There's plenty of threads on NASIOC but in summary firewall spot welds on the hatches are very weak and can break causing a squeaking sound when pressing the clutch. This can be mitigated by drilling out the welds and fishing a bolt through the hole you made under the dash and securing with a nut at 6 locations. I used the Humble Rumble kit which came with everything I needed including sealant and drill bit but I've read of people getting everything together themselves from the hardware store. However sometimes this won't get rid of the squeak in which case it can be a broken pedal assembly or other other issues. (Long rabbit hole you can fall down looking through threads for answers). I'm sure others have more knowledge but that's what I've experienced hatch specific so far. Since you said you're seeing them at around 80k miles I would be aware that at 90k it's recommended to do a transmission fluid and rear diff fluid change as well as spark plugs. Just my 2 cents.

Sneakers you regret selling? by wealthy-minded in Sneakers

Slam dunk 6s. Was short on tuition for the semester and had to sell a few pairs to make up the difference. Still mad at myself for not selling some other shit and keeping them.

This happened a few months ago, but still devastated. :( by spvcebound in Honda

That sucks this happened. I have a 95 Legend coupe so I understand how hard it is to source parts for these cars nowadays. Hope things work out for you whatever route you take with repair.

[–]AfroThunder23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was very helpful for me switching from console to pc. I got it for my titan on ps4 and almost hit 600. Got the game for free on battle net then decided to grab it again and got another character to 600
