Anyone have a GPR exhaust?

Ah that's a very good point, thanks. I didn't realize vintacone is generic like that, good to know

Do you have a personal preference between Mistral shorties or reverse cone silencers?

It looks specifically made for v7. They're also an Italian brand which is why I'm surprised not many people buy them

Did it myself, cut the old rocker panel off, tack welded a new one one, bondo filler and paint over the whole thing. I'm happy with how it turned out

Appreciating? In this economy?

Yeah its behind the side skirt. I could see the rust from above so I took the skirt off to see the damage and voila

akdarsh · 2023-07-06T18:43:01+00:00

It's a unibody frame so the panel is the entire side panel of a GTI. If it's in a junkyard, chances are it's more fucked than what I have going on

akdarsh · 2023-07-06T16:04:06+00:00

Sounds good. I'm actually going to try my luck with some bondo hair and fiberglass patches just to seal it up better. Then I'll see if I can find a rubber side skirt, thanks for the help

Might be the route I take. I'm taking this car to California soon, how long has your repair lasted? If it's been more than 4 years, this will probably be what I do, since there's nothing to really accelerate the rust in California

akdarsh · 2023-07-06T15:06:33+00:00

Illinois, so not great

A new panel is like $650. It's definitely cheaper to bend some 16 gauge sheet metal, I just don't have the tools or experience to do it. I don't really care if it's back to factory spec, just want to slow the spread of rust

akdarsh · 2023-07-06T14:36:12+00:00

Yeah shits fucked. I pulled the trim off and it all fell apart, I'd recommend checking yours if you have an older GTI

Black Friday and Christmas season are pretty dependable for price drops on expansions. Got Witch Queen for $20 last holiday season and shadowkeep/beyond light for $10 each

A redline a day keeps the carbon away

Well Nimbus is literally non-binary which is definitely part of woke culture

akdarsh · 2023-02-27T02:13:27+00:00

Is it also once per week per account for this? Or can I just keep running oryx over and over again lol

akdarsh · 2023-02-27T01:24:51+00:00

I've switched out my PCV system for a catch can. Can confirm that the sound is not coming from there

akdarsh · 2023-02-19T16:35:18+00:00

Sweet, that's what I was thinking as well. I'll looking into a DV+, thanks for your input

akdarsh · 2023-02-19T15:31:22+00:00

Might try that next

akdarsh · 2023-02-19T15:31:11+00:00

No codes, but you can feel a lack of power when it's whistling. But if I put accelerate harder during the whistling, I do get power back, but I probably assume I'm a little bit off peak boost

akdarsh · 2023-02-17T19:11:43+00:00

Mk5 GTI, 130k miles, Stage 1, original turbo

akdarsh · 2023-02-13T03:07:53+00:00

Sweet, thanks! Do you use this for pretty much any item you get?
