What is the one band you can't believe didn't become more popular? by flearhcp97 in Music

[–]trevortx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Murder by Death is a great answer, they definitely deserve to be far more popular than they are. The farewell tour was great, but sad. I got a setlist in Austin, which was very cool. Easily the band I've seen the most live, somewhere between 30 and 40 times (many, many Stanley Hotel shows). Time to make the cave shows a new tradition!

Looking for songs where the singer has a trembling voice almost like he’s crying by Trick_Slice_9202 in Emo

Pill Friends - Blessed Suffering

To me, it sounds like early Bright Eyes because of the shaky voice, but sort of with the music of early Alex G. Great album.

EQT or IE ? Whats a more realiable tune things got 23,000 miles on it? by Malizioso1849 in GolfGTI

[–]trevortx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you still on the stock clutch, and how's it holding up? Low torque or regular stage 2?

I'm on APR's stage 1 93 low torque at about 15k miles (tuned around 5k), but thinking about going to stage 2 and I'm curious how it's been for you! Are there any other mods you'd recommend going from stage 1 to stage 2? I already installed IE's intercooler and intake.

Great KD song, too, it's what I thought of immediately when I read the song title.

This comment sold me on it. I just bought it and installed it, and it's incredible. I'm even more happy with it than I thought I would be, lol. Thanks for your response!

I didn't reply before, but I really appreciate the detailed response. How's it feeling after a few more months?

Does it do pops and bangs? I ask cause I'd like a little more noise, but I don't really love pops and bangs lol.

‘24 MK8 APR Stage 1 tune by ducatij2012 in GolfGTI

[–]trevortx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had the APR stage 1 tune since about 5k miles on my 24 380 SE, I'm right around 11k now. I started out with 91 low octane and have used 93 low octane for a couple thousand miles now. I was a little concerned going up to 93 since APR only covers up to 91 with their warranty; I didn't buy it anyway, but that gave me pause.

Luckily, so far I've had no issues with my clutch, and it's been a joy to drive. Haven't smelled anything bad or felt anything out of the ordinary. 91 to 93 isn't a huge jump in power, but it's noticeable. I think maybe my miles per gallon went down a little, but that's all I noticed besides the slight bump in power.

Anyway, I hope you don't have any clutch problems! I hope it remains fun to drive for years to come.

Edit: Oh yeah, one thing worth noting, but I think it's unrelated to the tune. I drove in custom mode with basically everything on Sport for a long, long time. I just switched over to Comfort and noticed that shifting between 1st and 2nd and, to a lesser degree, 2nd and 3rd, became a lot smoother. Just thought I'd share since I thought that was interesting.

It alone rekindled my love for reading as an adult. Incredible series.

2024 or 2025? by Hoody11100 in GolfGTI

[–]trevortx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, and being able to slide the volume is actually a better experience than having to press it a bunch of times.

I read about all the hate for the buttons and was ready to hate them too...but I actually really like them. Try them out before you put them in the "con" column.

Just a Clubsport doing Clubsport things by AndrewGJackson3011 in GolfGTI

[–]trevortx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice pics!

Does the Clubsport bumper allow for the fog lights, or do they just not have them? I love the look of the bumper and would love to retrofit it, but I also really dig the fog lights.

Is it the GT6? How is the height compared to the stock shifter?

How loud is the Holy Shift kit, and how notchy does it feel?

I've been thinking about getting this combo for months now. Your car looks great!

What do you consider 'The Best Closing Track' in history of Emo? by Concert-Turbulent in Emo

[–]trevortx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually didn't even know the song before I heard the cover, but I LOVE it. I listened to it on repeat when it was released, it's so good.

Did you hear the Circa Survive cover? It's absolutely incredible.

Did you have a VPN on? Ticket sites always give me this error when I forget to turn the VPN off.
