What did you do to your TT today?

[SteveAngry]

Switched my DB bushings with Powerflex. Succeeded in getting rid of the DP rattle but feels a little ruff on the freeway and going up hills fast. I don't mind the vibration through the steering wheel but it feels pretty bad coming up through the floor. Anyone know if DB bushings break in and soften up a bit? I definately noticed way less wheel hop with my FWD

Just wanted to add this: the first time I installed the DB bushing I was getting really bad vibrations. After further inspection my DB mount was hitting the subframe stiffening bracket and causing all kinds of racket. This was a simple fix. Just giving you a heads up incase yours never "smooths" out.

Thanks for the info. I noticed after a couple days driving that it was already getting a little better. I raised my idle to about 880 and that helped too........

Scared myself half to death....

Decided to restore my headlights with the 3M kit as only the exterior of the lens was cloudy. I had half the kit left over from another car and decided to tackle my driver side light. Went through 4 of the 500 grit pads and only got about half the light done, and it kept "burning" and leaving gouges. The headlight looked like death and though I had just made a $300+ mistake. The TT lens seemed much harder, almost like it had a hard clearcoat over top. I bought another kit and used up all the 500 grit pads in that, then the 800 grit pads did great. Turned about really good...but MAN, I freaked out for a minute.

Posting on my GF's behalf, since I get to drive the car frequently. Finished the rear suspension last night and washed it this morning.

I need to clean the dirt on the inside of my headlights. They're cloudy and look like they contantly need polishing. I've been considering sticking a small rag or something on the end of a wire and shoving it through the bulb hole. I was wondering how hard it was to split yours and if you've seen a good write up.

Added a carbon plate frame... lol

[darrenbyrnes]

Timing belt / water pump / valve cover / brake fluid / Haldex service.

It was a little...expensive.

/Cheaper than having a TB grenade my engine though.

[VroomTT]

Tavern: lets see it!

Did these on monday, but felt like posting anyway...

- Changed spark plugs to Denso Platinum TTs; Gapped to .028(apr tune)

- Picked up a used Neuspeed Intake for $50(sans filter) and used the heat shield with my current K&N cone. Also switched out the smaller breathers since the kit's is a bit bigger.

Between the two, the car sounds great and I'm loving the stronger pull at higher rpms

[Neb]

Andrew, personally I would strip the current coating and try finding different satin silver finishes in a spray can.

Maybe you can do some text metal first though.

[andrewosky]

thanks ben

If you have the all black interior, do black and red

You can clear it with a clear powdercoat. But you'll want to get your machine marks going the same direction. Wire wheel should work. Just take your time.

Installed the rear valance. Looks much better than the painted one. Helps to add a bit more contrast with the black top.

Yeah, the 3.2 valance makes all the difference. I found my single outlet 3.2 valance on ebay for $30. Seller didn't know what he had. Like you said, looks even better with the black top.

paint it flat black or wrinkle black . with the brushed air vent ring in the center. it will look amazing

[zak2006]

I would agree with your idea of wrinkle black. could match the interior quite well

I would just polish the whole thing, but wrinkle black could be cool too
