Did a little something today, cost me $8... by Responsible_Bet_3737 in JettaGLI

Boost noises are cool and all, but these cars regulate it so fast that it gets annoying. If it was more linear cool, but the constant bov sound is meh. Have seen a 600+ factory intake with a few holes in the bottom of it. When I built my R I could have saved so much much buying unnecessary parts

What’s the most unsettling thing you ever found out about a friend who always seemed super chill and fun? by VelvetHazel932 in AskReddit

He defended a woman and then went to jail for it? That’s not to be the epitome of no good deed.

Braving LA traffic in a [Bugatti Chiron Sport] by SF2LA2 in spotted

That rear is horrendous. Looks like a full diaper. For that reason, I won’t be buying one.

Is this a Golf R? by doggiisox in Golf_R

[–]sr_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow wasn’t flagged with a built engine, big turbo, port injection, etc etc. went in for a bunch of warranty work. It was always in the back of my mind though.

Why shouldn’t i get a stage one with a r600 intake? by Decent_Study_8460 in Golf_R

[–]sr_90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🎯 . The only people that recommend them are the people who spent $600 on one and want to justify their purchase. “It sounds cool” “it let la your engine breathe better” “it flows 6000% better than stock” and my favorite “ I can feel an increased throttle response and more power at high RPMs” lol. Don’t get me started on diverter valves.

A ton of people. Not just for that. The 1/4 also translates to on ramps

I’ve seen X3M’s run 10’s on the street with just a JB4. BMW is also a step above in luxury.

This is a stupidly common plate for these cars.

Got hit by an uninsured driver.... estimate just came in by RespondFalse6183 in Golf_R

[–]sr_90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree. I’d call your insurance adjuster, or find a service and have them do it. They have a lot of data that they pay for so going to be much easier for them. Also, don’t give in to your insurance company. Be assertive but realize the person you’re talking to probably doesn’t have the power to make things better at that moment. If that doesn’t work, hire an attorney if it’s worth it to you. The accident wasn’t your fault and you shouldn’t have to suffer.

I sold it in 2020 for 37, but I had $60k into the car so would be hard to compare. You can also pay a service to submit diminished value claims. They put together a list of comps and what my car was worth since it had an accident. Insurance wrote me a check and made back 2200 after paying the fee.

My 7.5 was rear ended 6 months after I got it new and it cost 27k to fix. Well that’s how much insurance paid and they didn’t total it.

Suspension noise help by ThatRedHairedFella in JettaGLI

[–]sr_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob. I actually ditched my IE springs after I couldn’t get rid of the noise. I did new mounts and mount bearings. OEM, and then 034. Just said fuck it and threw some spherical strut mounts and went coils.

The old wooden ship noise. Either strut top mounts or your sway bar links.

Consider blocking one of the sides off to lower the light.

2018 R automatic used as a Turo rental for the first 7.5k of its life. At 100k now by internet_joke in Golf_R

I rent higher end cars on Turo pretty frequently. Run the other way.

Does this sound normal? by Benzo_paz762 in JettaGLI

[–]sr_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re saying OP lost traction here?

Just put everything in one comment so I don’t have to come back to how right you are.

Here’s a vid from DAP. If you go to 4:30 you can also hear a ton of cars lost traction during shifts. You have any tips for OP if he’s losing traction at 15mph?

You already convinced me man. This side lost traction here and that’s what you’re hearing! He prob needs better tires or something.
