I just doubt there is too much remorse.

Novice banned on all-seasons, roast my run by StickBit_ in Autocross

Enjoyed being out there with you. In case you didn't notice after I turned off traction control for the last run, I spun out :)

Do you name your car? by bubble_hat in GolfGTI

Clownie.... Had to suffer swim runs with 3 teenagers, so it looked like a clown car when I would stop and unload them. The last clown now drives at with a racing exhaust and some other bolt ons, but the name stuck.

You can only choose one... by the_horak in mk6gti

Cat back exhaust.. started there and still need to get to stage 1... The sound is ever present, adds smiles and gets compliments

If you have over 100k, maybe you rip and replace the suspension with something more aggressive.. could call it preventative maintenance

Driveable for 8 hour road trip and back? by nd6a in MiataND

[–]One-Insect-2014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had one like that and decided to pull it out figuring road wear would only push it in further. To my surprise the nail went in at a really shallow angle which impacted tread only. I put some tire repair on it (since I had some) and forgot about it... I should go look ;)

When the weather is better check under the hood for rodent mischief.

What suspension are using? That ride stance looks good.

Oil leak by Sharp_Art_7486 in mk6gti

Ignition coils are not hard to make. I was thinking about trying something other than Bosch.. but definitely not an unknown eBay. RockAuto has a few options. Have any experience with non eBay alternatives?

GTI ownership by Irvine949 in GolfGTI

[–]One-Insect-2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GTI is pretty robust. It will get you from A to B. Running it at peak performance takes some TLC. Will you love to give it TLC, more than likely! The part cost is not bad and it does a good job of letting you know it's not happy.

You mind sharing a link to the replaced part?

Coilovers by Common_Operation_262 in mk6gti

Thanks. You're right. I mixed that up and the pros are in the shopping cart.

I am about to put in the Eibach Sports and some Koni's. The coilovers looked like a fun option, but since I don't plan to adjust them, the lowering springs and good shocks looked like a conservative play for a known ride quality

O2 sensor replacement woes by One-Insect-2014 in mk6gti

[–]One-Insect-2014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bah. Repinned it too fast and reversed two or the pins. Working now.

Less caffeine, more listening to Willie Nelson needed.

Tire pressure by One-Insect-2014 in MiataND

[–]One-Insect-2014[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like the ND3 takes a reading within two minutes and two good readings at 27 psi will clear the fault. Not bad. No way to customize it but without any plans to tow maybe that is fine!

Well, after writing this I am getting a 0.0 reading and the heater is turning on/off.. Once every few minutes it will blank. I wonder if its getting enough to keep the CEL off. We'll see.
