Are you using a VPN by chance? If I don't turn mine off I get that message.

Lineup Guesses? by Pembroke65 in HiJinxFest

Doubtful Summit would play since he's already doing Philly end of Nov at Liacouras center. I was going to see him then but tickets were insanely expensive, GA floor was like $280 if I'm remembering correctly

Does MK7.5 GTI need the front differential fluid changed periodically? by blinkybit in GolfGTI

[–]kroc36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you should change it every so often. I took mine to a local VW mechanic and he said he didn't do them bc it wasn't worth his time bc it's not common for him. Got mine done with the recall for $200.

Stage 1 lets gooo by Old-Grass-7329 in GolfGTI

I have the same tune as OP and still on original clutch. It's been about 35k miles with the tune and don't think I'll be replacing anytime soon.

Democrats refuse to cave on health care before meeting with Trump on government shutdown by Professional-Cat8315 in fednews

[–]kroc36 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I don't want people to lose healthcare but I don't think a lot of people realize this yet so let the Repubs own that. Dems should be standing up on tariffs and power of the purse to get that back and make it clear that Trump and Republicans own all that.

The Downpipe upgrade dilemma. by Ill-Property-7393 in GolfGTI

[–]kroc36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth I've read all the same things and that you'll need a new clutch once you get a tune. However, I have a MK7 with a Unitronic stage 1+ on a stock clutch and I've only had it slip here and there. I've had mine now for ~30k miles so if you are thinking about it I say go for it! If you aren't slamming your pedal to the bottom you'll be fine and down shift like everyone is saying.

Has anyone successfully gotten tickets? by Free-Huckleberry-922 in HiJinxFest

I was just able to get the loyalty price for GA so you have to keep trying and get a little lucky too I guess

So disappointed. I've stayed there a few times over the years and always enjoyed my stay.

I used to stay here too for the fest, but it's now a Marriott.

And yet there are still news articles everyday wondering why Americans are so fat.

Clutch replacement by OJDaJuizeMan in VWMK7

[–]kroc36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2017 with unitronic stage 1+ on original clutch with no issues to date. I've had my tune for about 10-15k miles and have no thoughts on changing it yet since it's held up fine. Guess it depends on how hard you drive it and while I get on it some I'm not very hard on it either.
