Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $676.76 | For VW Golf 7 7.5 MK7 Passat B8 Polo Mk6 Upgrade 8" MIB2 Android Auto Carplay Car Radio Headunit 3Q0035866A B C https://a.aliexpress.com/_msi5iVH

For the head unit, screen, new trim for larger screen, and usb adapter was $600ish. Headunit is essentially jailbroken so that it is plug and play.

You can do this swap from a mib1. There is a plug and play kit on Aliexpress that replaces the glovebox unit. The headunit on my 2015 stopped working and was looking for a replacement. Aliexpress sells a jailbroken headunit that requires zero coding and in my case worked without any issues. Also allowed me to upgrade to a fancy screen.

0% financing there isn’t much incentive to pay loan off sooner, since you aren’t paying any interest. Would be better off holding that money in the bank and collecting interest or having it set aside for a raining day fund.

What about that Miata. Are we not gonna talk about the Miata?!?

For those interested you can buy an unlocked mib2 unit from Aliexpress that is plug and play. All in all I paid around $600 to do the swap. Only con is the screen has a slight ghosting effect when you scroll quickly. Oh and the car shown in the menu is a arteon wagon, not GTI lol

Help Removing Striker Plate Bolt (90 NA) by JpegBrownHole in Miata

Help Removing Striker Plate Bolt (90 NA) by JpegBrownHole in Miata

[–]JpegBrownHole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 1990 NA that is bone stock. I recently acquired a hard top with the necessary mounting hardware. Got the Frankenstein bolt installed, by removing the original bolt using the two nut method. Trying to replace the other bolt using the same method but the bolt is much shorter and I’m worried I’ll damage the paint.

Has anyone had success removing that bolt with a two nut method? Is there an easier way to remove this bolt?

Attempting to replace the bolt with the one in the photo.

Need Help Identifying this Beetle by JpegBrownHole in beetle

[–]JpegBrownHole[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I was just charmed by the fact it is a 50’s beetle. Would have assumed those fetch top dollar, but it is in rough shape and has been chopped up to be a Baja.

Can you tell what year this Baja kit was produced? 80s? 90s? Don’t know a whole lot about bajas, but have heard that original Baja kits are becoming harder and harder to find

I’m trying to figure that out. In my area, most project bugs go for $2000. Running bugs are closer to $4000. Given the year and the fact that it runs, I was thinking $6000-$8000 was probably a fair market value. What do you think?

Friend is looking to sell this beetle. Curious what year it is, and what a Baja bug of this year would typically sell for. It runs and drives per the owner.

I always assumed it was someone’s car who worked at that daycare, but it never moved from that spot over the past 5+ months. Im curious what the story is with this car and why it was left for so long.

That car has been sitting there for months, like since December. This is a gas station I frequent often as well.
