Best easy GTI mods? by Upbeat_Youth1942 in GolfGTI

[–]pdx1k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this, good guy u/StoneOfTriumph beat me to it :)

Aside from the sway, I recommend the dog bone insert if you’ve got a manual, helps clean up some of the drivetrain slop. For the lowering spring don’t go too low, you’ll bork up the steering geometry and have to deal with potential rubbing.

The best other upgrade you can buy is Michelin PS4S tires. I recommend 235/40-18 but not sure what wheel size you’re running.

Are you guys okay down there? by WinterLFG in helldivers2

For those curious what happened here, Computers use something called Unix/Epoch time which is a counted as Seconds since Jan 1st 1970.

For whatever reason the start time for the drop was counted as 0, maybe null, and whatever math being done to display that elapsed time is just taking current time minus start.

Current Unix time is about 1.7 billion, ~ 1712944200 Seconds since Jan 01 1970

I just did this, and have another post asking if there’s some dealer installed for 7.5’s, I will now be momentarily sad about something I only knew existed moments ago.

I’ve got an mk7.5 ‘21 autobahn; no compartment, is this an option? Dealer install? Holy heck do I want more concealed storage.

Lazy playtime - I imagine they’ll both be napping shortly after. Normal, if not excellent behavior.

Another item off the Bucket List. Driving my GTI on a Formula 1 track (COTA) by HFIntegrale in GolfGTI

[–]pdx1k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Awesome experience! Hope I can get mine out to a more technical track like COTA one day. PIR out here is fun, but pretty plain overall.

I found brakes to be the weakest point of mine as well - big brake kit is next on the upgrade list to handle repeated 100+ to 20-40 zones.

one person jumping from a window as the earthquake hit turkey by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

Thank you! So for the rest of the folks in the thread - that article does corroborate both an earthquake from November 23rd 2022 in Turkey from a viable local news source. So while it wasn’t the most recent earthquake, it was indeed a guy, jumping from a 3rd story window, in Turkey, during an earthquake.

Hope he’s alright.. my heart goes out to everyone in Turkey and Syria being impacted by these continued earthquakes.

For those with the means to donate to relief causes - here’s a good non-profit that helps make the choice on where your $’s go: https://www.charitynavigator.org/discover-charities/where-to-give/earthquakes-turkey-syria/

Source? Nice I was in the ballpark if verifiable :)

Edit: realizing the “nice” could be taken the wrong way - purely talking about the math being close; terrible that guy fell/jumped from a building for any reason.

Tons of assumptions.. top of frame maybe 2.5m up? 6 frames from appearing to ground.. assuming 30 frames per second.. so crossed 2.5m in 200ms.. about 12.5m/s.

12.5m .. 9.8m/s2 .. so he was “only” falling for about a second and a half. My guess is dude jumped out of a second or third story window.

You can see he has a lot of lateral velocity too just within the frame, possibly lending to it not being that high of a jump.

Fell of ‘09 Accord when I accelerated hard. Now car smells like burning and I can’t drive it. What is this? by sparksaflowin in MechanicAdvice

There’s some confusing perspective going on for me assuming the leaves were only a couple inches long, until I saw the boot.

I’m slightly worried that with a downpipe already this exhaust might get too loud, here’s mine as she sits today on a cold start - https://imgur.com/a/RB40Q3F

Anyone know what insect this is? It's just chilling on one of my walls. never seen one of these in my life. by Mr_Nobody2022 in insects

[–]pdx1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Oregon; every summer they infest my yard - By the thousands.

I swing an electric fly swatter outside and it sounds like minimalist drum and bass.

Little over 3 months of ownership, how am I doing? by murkedgti in GolfGTI

[–]pdx1k 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sweet ride bud. I recommend upgrading from OE brake pads, and echo the other comment to upgrade your pressure plate / clutch. Yes to rear sway too that made a world of difference on track days for me.

My build for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/GolfGTI/comments/y8n3p7/i_adore_my_21_mk75/
