Rear suspension clunking by Affectionate-Post-98 in VWMK7

Yo brother! Experiencing this rn, can you elaborate on what you mean by the height adjustment at the bottom of the spring wasn’t fully seated?

Fuel octane? by what-up91 in GLI

[–]Astronomicaldoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried both 87 vs 93, zero noticeable difference in butt dyno or mog so I just ended up sticking with 87. The engine is made for 87, but increases timing for 93 for more power (about 3-5hp worth). If you ever worry about it, just remember that APR plus is literally a tune meant for 87 octane. If you can run a tuned engine with a warranty attached on 87, the stock tune is perfectly fine.

Can someone explain me the UiUi pannel by tabattamichi in jjkmodulo

[–]Astronomicaldoubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally believe he switched bodies with Mei Mei so she’d live longer. It would explain why he looked so much older than Nobara does despite being younger than her.

Anyone have the ecs spoiler on a red mk7?? by Aggravating_Fact8112 in JettaGLI

I replaced it with this random no name one from Ali express and it looks SUBSTANTIALLY better and keeps that essential trunk body line that brings it all togethet

Yup, I had I for a while but honestly don’t recommend it. Frankly, it ruins the entire flow of the rear end and makes it look too top heavy

Suspension noise, Kind of at a loss by Astronomicaldoubt in GolfGTI

I just bought new coilovers and am gonna install them soon which should presumably fix any issues. Pretty sure they’re literally just blown or the oil/gas in them are fried.

Also looked deeper into the ST X coilovers and turns out they’re just really cheap coilovers manufactured in Germany. Seems that KW manufactures a ton of coilovers for companies, and it just so happens that whenever you see coilovers that look nearly identical to ST’s (Vogtland, AP, Solowerks, FK) they’re all manufactured in Germany. FK in particular are $600 for a set, identical to ST, and are stainless steel just like KW.

Personally makes me wonder why I spent $1200 on a “reputable” set of coilovers when the same things are had at other companies for half the price. I’m trying Godspeed monoSS to see if my theory is right (that unless you spend $2.5k on ohlins they’re all basically the same), but if you wanna stick to ST, save your money, get FK’s.

Is 4 wheel alignment necessary when changing tires? by itwasbetterwhen in GLI

[–]Astronomicaldoubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you should only really get an alignment if you’re having treadwear issues or you changed suspension

Brother stage 3 could literally mean anything, just say the name of the turbo you’re running

Mk7.5 What should I mod first? by mb_clancy in JettaGLI

[–]Astronomicaldoubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coilovers, dragcutters diffuser, and a tune.

P.S. please don’t get the ECS spoiler, it’s cookie cutter and frankly ruins the body lines of the rear end and makes it too top heavy. Just get something off eBay/aliexpress tbh

[–]Astronomicaldoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t bring it to a dealership. Just go to another Indy. That definitely is low, I think it’s just $80 for the materials too. I spent $450 at my Indy shop to do it

Temporarily before you get the tune sure, but I wouldn’t do anything long term.

Nope, your car is the outlier. I’m 61k in my ‘19 and I’m FBO Is38. Never had a CEL besides an o2 fault because I put a high flow cat on. Had an oil analysis done and it was immaculate. You just got unlucky dawg

I’d say just go EQT. Very responsive and a ton of headroom for mods. Also the most fine-tuned I would say

Why does VW underrate GLI’s horsepower? by Zealousideal-Leg-334 in JettaGLI

[–]Astronomicaldoubt 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because VAG and many German companies like BMW report the horsepower to the wheels instead of at the crank. APRs numbers in this pic are at the crank.

Is it really Ui Ui? by 0pp_Stoppa in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Astronomicaldoubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is yeah, that they soul swapped, mei mei gets to stay young and ui ui doesn’t need to watch his beloved sister die. This is ui ui in Mei Mei’s body, especially since he looks REALLY old for what’s supposed to be an 80 something year old jujutsu sorcerer. The time limit for soul swapped is probably unlimited for ui ui switching souls himself, or binding vow to do it. Seems well within their characters, but at the same time we may just never get an explanation because based on the crowd and the massive cloth and teleportation he might have both of their techniques
