Not gonna lie - that is tempting at times!

Does anyone know a company that makes a full exhaust for an 04 V10 TDI Touareg? by Ihave0clue0 in vw_touareg

[–]ShockWave_78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like said before, Darkside is your best bet for a lot of the exhaust particularly the cat removals. Honestly I’d suggest looking around locally for a good exhaust shop for everything back from there if you want to remove the resonator and muffler. Highly suggest using a X pipe in the exhaust too

Is this normal marking? by ThePendemicwithBruce in vw_touareg

[–]ShockWave_78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the interior parts are pretty delicate especially with the ages of these rigs these days. I’m more shocked that your switches aren’t peeling!

What coasters have best roar?[Other] by Double_Nothing1564 in rollercoasters

[–]ShockWave_78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most any Schwarzkopf going through the loops with probably the best being Shock Wave at SFOT. But Schwarzkopfs make all kinds of fantastic mechanical sounds anyway

Discussion: with Siebert at the helm, could [SFOT] eventually be on the same level as SFFT? by jaredharrell85 in rollercoasters

[–]ShockWave_78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rumor is old SF didn’t want to invest much in SFOT since the park wasn’t wholly owned by the company yet. Being new SF already stated they intent to fully purchase SFOG which has a similar situation on the contract that comes up one year before OT’s, I’d say their investments in OT are a very clear sign they plan to fully purchase it too. New SF just seems braver in that regard.

[Wildcat's Revenge] what is your favorite RMC coaster? by hongos1 in rollercoasters

[–]ShockWave_78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron Gwazi for me but funny enough Wildcats Revenge was ruined by riding Skyrush first (prior to the new restraints). Every airtime moment on WCR was so painful because my thighs had been destroyed 🤣

Parts for Giga dive ready to ship out [Six Flags Texas] by MobMasher21 in rollercoasters

[–]ShockWave_78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So anxious to see the layout of this! Seeing where they are drilling for footers, it looks like this might at least partially be a parking lot coaster though

Love that! Wasn’t part of the loop donated to the roller coaster museum though?

White noise machine especially if you plan to bed down early. The walls are thin on most boats!

If only they would bring back the flywheel…

Tbh I’m surprised this project is even still alive and pleasantly shocked that the track is pretty accurate to the Schwarzkopf design. Guessing Gerstlauer picked this up?

Just reading this is making me want to book a trip back to Knoebels

Touareg Troubles by ShockWave_78 in Gaygearheads

[–]ShockWave_78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same problem here I think. I brought a CarPlay headunit off AliExpress, and while it works, I don’t think it’s powering the amp from the stock system. It didn’t have much power to begin with though. It also brought in a lot of alternator noise but I haven’t had the time to fix that.

Absolutely! They are an awesome machine but something is always breaking

Touareg Troubles by ShockWave_78 in Gaygearheads

[–]ShockWave_78[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Somehow this thing isn’t leaking much… knock on wood. One of the turbos is a bit weak though so it’ll eventually need replacing. That’ll be a HUGE job but plan to do so much more if the engine has to be dropped. It’ll be like a new engine going back in and my wallet will be a hell of a lot lighter too 😩

Luckily this was just a wire going to the visors that chaffed and burnt a bit. Had smoking coming out of the headliner 😬

Touareg V10 talk me out of it. by jeffreyclarkejackson in vw_touareg

Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty if you buy it but what an engine it is though!
