    Oil change, rotation, tensioner inspection (nothing wrong!), and DSG check (nothing wrong!). Yay!
    Thx!

    Installed a Dynaudio (Lear) amp. Others have said it before, but the difference is considerable. Volume is louder, sound extremely more clear. Previously my MDI audio was noticeably different than my HD radio through the RCD 510 head unitl. Now there is no difference. It all sounds crystal clear.

    It's not so much what I do TO my .:R but what I did FOR.

    Signed her up for her very first Track Day!

    Now the scramble to get a helmet and a second tow hook.

    Had a coil pack fail on me causing bad misfires on cylinder #1. Glad I had four extra of them sitting in a box in the garage.

    - Oil change
    - New tires mounted
    - Alignment
    - Tensioner check (good!)
    - Tranny and flywheel check (good!)

    Still waiting on insurance to get their heads out of their asses so I can get my grille fixed. Two weeks and counting.

    2 new tires on the rear. Amazing how much better it rides when there is actual tread and not a thin layer of rubber then wheel
