    My TSW Nurburgring Wheels came in today!

    18x8.0 ET45 Matte Bronze

    Everything was perfect except they sent me lug nuts, not bolts
    Hopefully will get that resolved ASAP.

    Got them from http://www.modbargains.com/
    Extremely nice people. Highly recommended.

    I didn't to it today, but Monday I bought a sister for my car and a ride for my wife:



    ///KCH2O ”VDUBkill 2:0 – The path of 2.0T is beset on all sides by the injustice of the speedtrap and the Plague of the Prius drivers. But blessed is he who in the name of disparity overwhelmeth the exotic in the valley of the s-bends. And I shall strike down upon thee with great revs and furious acceleration those who attempt to obstruct or delay my overtaking and you will know my engine is turbocharged when I lay my powerband upon thee.”

    last week i got a tune update for my 2.5l from United Motorsports. today i took some videos. i suppose i can share them here


    these videos were taking from inside the engine bay. the first clip was taken at start up. the 2nd video is really just audio since the hood was closed.

    (can't you tell i need motor mounts)



    the only noise worth listening to are in the following time frames:
    i open the car up at 1:55
    at 2:27 I did a 2nd gear pull
    3:20 the car is spooling up
    and then anything after 4:22 is probably boring

    Oil change and cabin air filter.

    Also routed an audio cable from the glove box aux port out to the front console (finally!) and routed a GPS cable up behind the radio and out by the top vent. Much nicer without all the cables hanging around everywhere.

    Installed the ECS Dogbone Core ....Possibly the hardest thing to get in EVARRR had to use a jack to push the thing in all the way.

    However the shifting is smooth as anything, its comparable to cutting through a bagel with a dull knife and with the insert cutting through a bagel with an incredibly sharp knife with ease...

    Mine didn't come out either at first, i sprayed WD-40 on it...let it soak for about 10 minutes. Then used a 6ft breaker bar to get the bolt loose...worked like a charm. I think it was torqued way more than 74lbs+90 because that thing was not budging even at 150lbs.

    Good luck!
