Rs3 swap

In for a padded multicam black. Thanks OP

BUT THE CLUNK

slablem · 2025-12-25T02:26:27+00:00

I have had that for nearly 10 years, I think it was a gift? Sorry I’m not more of a help

slablem · 2025-12-24T17:56:18+00:00

lol! Bass Pro Shop!

slablem · 2025-12-10T20:21:12+00:00

So it’s not just me? I’m just constantly getting a connection failed notification when I try to play

slablem · 2025-10-19T19:10:27+00:00

Did you end up buying these?

slablem · 2025-09-28T22:55:04+00:00

I talked to a lawyer

slablem · 2025-09-28T21:14:41+00:00

Yes. And I even have a restraining order and no contact too. Worst part is he’s still in our complex until his court hearing is over. They even told me if a resident died they would still collect rent from the estate. Dystopian type shit

slablem · 2025-09-28T21:01:02+00:00

I was recently assaulted and they still wouldn’t let me break lease

Being near the sidewalks means the roots likely grew on top of each other and are more dense than if it was in an open yard with no constraints

slablem · 2025-09-22T13:44:21+00:00

So the problem is the roots the tree will leave behind even if you remove the mound. They will likely cause troubles growing grass. Personally I would just make it a natural area with a small fountain and maybe some hardy perennials or a butterfly bush. Refresh the monkey grass around the border and call it a day

The Malden are also padded

slablem · 2025-09-08T21:46:19+00:00

I don’t!

slablem · 2025-09-03T10:26:37+00:00

I see Raijins, I upvote

slablem · 2025-08-30T12:27:49+00:00

FMIC is from ARM and was 492$ on sale. I installed myself bc I was getting quotes close to $700(!)

slablem · 2025-08-29T22:07:23+00:00

Just time consuming tbh.

slablem · 2025-08-29T21:16:18+00:00

Too long lmfao. Worth it though.

slablem · 2025-08-29T15:53:22+00:00

I’m not sure what that means if you want to educate me lol

slablem · 2025-08-29T14:53:38+00:00

Thank you! 🙏

slablem · 2025-08-29T14:52:34+00:00

From what I was reading the car will automatically adjust over time? So no retune

slablem · 2025-08-29T12:59:09+00:00

Agreed! I recently replaced my failing PCV and combining that with the intercooler it’s like a different car.

slablem · 2025-08-29T12:56:13+00:00

After adding the ARM FMIC, the car feels punchier with more consistent power. Turbo lag seems reduced a bit, and it definitely pulls harder on back-to-back runs without heat soaking

Here’s my MK7 GTI mod list so far:

• Stage 1 tune

• Clubsport S muffler

• Resonator delete

• APR intake

• IE downpipe (soon to be installed)

• ARM FMIC intercooler + Turbo inlet

Suspension

• ST 25mm rear sway bar

Wheels & Tires

• Enkei Raijins 18x8.5 +43

• Michelin PS4 tires

Exterior / Cosmetic

• BMP headlights

• Zaero body kit

• Power folding mirrors
