**dubvinci** · 10-07-2012 07:38 PM

**chubs625** · 10-07-2012 07:52 PM

Installed new intercooler from SPM. Huge PITA. But worth it

The idiot 19 year old chick was on an "important" call and did not see me yielding to make a right turn and decided to ram me to where my sunroof slider went back

**TStrich** · 10-09-2012 12:30 PM

I am a little sore on my neck and upper sholders but I will be fine after my chiropractor appointment today

Plus it is an excuse to get this:

Well that's a b!tch on the hit. Thankfully it's not any worse, and it is a great excuse to get that gate.

As for today: Tried my first attempt at clay-baring the Golf. I think I did a good job so far. Going to finish detailing for BFI tomorrow.

Also on the list for tomorrow: replace OE rub strip with filled (non-marker lights).

I know I am surprised at how good the car absorbed the impact.

As for the picture I may not be getting the hatch (very hard to find here and expensive to bring from Europe. I am looking at that rear bumper to match the front one I have on the sedan (which will be going on the wagon):

BTW the car feels so smooth after you clay bar it. Lots of work but it comes out fantastic.

**dubb34r** · 10-12-2012 06:35 PM

Took the day off to finish up the trunk. Not 100% perfect, it'll have to do for now. Thinking about switching over to a 3 gallon.

**Aonarch** · 10-12-2012 07:41 PM

**Pauly76** · 10-13-2012 11:42 AM

Pulled my wheels and tires off and rebalanced them. Huge differance and big thanks to Joe at Bulldog tire for the help. He remounted my stretched tires like a boss.

Pretty sweet!!!!

**automan89** · 10-15-2012 07:45 PM

anyone around had the issue of the rear beam being shifted on a mk4? or anything else for that matter? mine seems to be slightly shifted to the drivers side and my tire is rubbing more on that side then the passenger side. yet the height is the same. is it even worth trying to shift it over? or get a small spacer to compensate the difference?

its pretty minimal. but i have rubber melted to the fender and that burt paint look on one side and very little melted rubber on the other. fender to ground is the same on bost sides. the difference is prob the width of a penny.

Hmmm. could it be that you, the driver, cause the driver side to compress more when driving?

Have Pedro look at the toe for the rear wheels. He cant adjust them like he can the front (nobody can). Unless you get toe shims for the rear. Now that is a completely different animal, it requires pulling the stub axle and shimming between it and the rear beam.

I think Rey is calling you fat

But seriously this could be true

Looks wise I agree, I ordered some cheap ebay ones with grills for under 100 bucks for my JSW and haven't even wired them in the year I"ve had them. It gets foggy up here though so now I probably should.

**dubvinci** · 10-16-2012 07:02 PM

thought about that. but i have the front drivers side about 1/4in higher to compensate me. and if i have a passenger in the car and/or luggage in the trunk its the same issue.
