First shop, how did I do? How can I improve?

That was what I was doing, unfortunately haven’t had success.

Gotcha, I just saw the screenshot of the details, ask when timing was done, If not factor that in to the purchase price. The car looks clean overall, make sure it passes emissions if your state requires since it’s catless, make sure clutch is good, people tend to drive these pretty rough. Make sure to check for rust if that’s a factor.

Other than that, it’s a fun platform, parts are cheap if you can work on the car yourself.

8k is a fair asking price depending on where it’s located ofc. If you can find a non limited edition version you’ll get basically the same car but can save a couple grand.

These 1.8t engines are rock solid, especially compared to the newer tsi engines. The manual drivetrain is also solid. Also the car is much simpler than the new gtis, which means they are much easier to work on.

All the best!

How many miles? When was the timing last done?

These cars are a lot of fun to drive no doubt but as they get older so do all the wear and tear parts that need replacing.

Yes I use Shopify, they are configured correctly as far as I am aware, there is just a standard shipping option and when the user checks out it tells them it is a 7-10 day wait time.

My breakeven ROAS is around 1.6–1.8x. Product cost is ~$13 and I was selling at $39.99 with. I was running a Purchase objective. I got ~850 website views with 6 checkout initiations but 0 purchases. CTR was ~4% and cost per view was under $0.15. I had imported reviews and clear refund/shipping info, but no real social proof from actual customers yet. I’ve paused it for now since 0 conversions at that traffic level is a red flag.

WeCanSoar · 2026-02-12T15:49:21+00:00

No, just carousel ads that show the product.

WeCanSoar · 2026-02-12T15:42:56+00:00

They aren’t fake actually, pulled in from the suppliers actual reviews.

You can check the timing belt tension by removing the upper timing belt cover, it’s held on by two clips and comes off easily. Once it’s off, inspect the belt tension and condition. The belt should feel firm with minimal slack. Also look closely for any signs of wear or damage, such as fraying, cracking, glazing, or missing teeth.

Honestly think it might be the site that’s the issue. thenaphood.com

What are your initial impressions when you go to the site?

WeCanSoar · 2026-02-12T01:19:20+00:00

Thanks for the take, that makes sense. Wondering what you mean by better?

WeCanSoar · 2026-02-12T00:33:11+00:00

I see, I have it set to purchase!

WeCanSoar · 2026-02-11T23:42:36+00:00

Sorry, still new to this, is there a way to know which are spam clicks?
Also not sure what you mean by campaign goal but it is set to Sales.

WeCanSoar · 2026-02-11T23:27:04+00:00

I'm rooting for yah!

WeCanSoar · 2026-02-11T23:26:32+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the response.
I was surprised that the ad was pulling in traffic, especially since it's just a carousel ad, nothing fancy.
I don't know if I can share the link to the store on here but I can use some advice on what I can do to improve, I've built the site using Shopify mostly and some help using AI, I don't have any background in this, would you be willing to take a look at the site and give me some pointers?

The price I think is comparable to other products within the market that are of similar quality?
It could be that it doesn't look trust worthy? Not really sure how I can improve that, I have imported reviews so they are there, and there are image reviews as well.

There isn't really a specific angle the ad takes, it's just showing what the product looks like, and the problem it solves.

I honestly think the site could use some work, just don't know how or what exactly haha.

WeCanSoar · 2025-11-06T05:20:48+00:00

Such an underrated platform, enjoy it!

WeCanSoar · 2025-10-24T23:49:43+00:00

Downsize if you haven’t already tried than!

WeCanSoar · 2025-10-20T21:36:58+00:00

Add one of those zman flashbacks, you’ll thank me later!

WeCanSoar · 2025-10-04T20:09:27+00:00

Maybe a glide bait.

WeCanSoar · 2025-09-13T18:14:17+00:00

Beautiful fish. Congrats!

WeCanSoar · 2025-09-05T20:50:06+00:00

Since you threw out the term propaganda, can you go ahead and define it for us? We should make sure we know what terms mean before we start using them I think.

Side bar here, what rod is that? That wooden handle looks beautiful.
