If not, you'll get one in the near future after the tune. I did!

All the way home

**rhcp4life** · 03-08-2012 09:08 AM

Like i said before, the tune didnt go as planned. We could not for the life of us get it to work. We try everything! 2 computers, driver, reinstalls.....

I didnt get to play with it much because I didnt leave there until 9 and it was raining like a mofo. But here are my initial thoughts
The DSG flash is nice, it gives you heads up display of what gear your in (D & S mode). I op-ed for no auto up shift in Manual mode and 5400 LC. I noticed while in town the car doesn't shift into 6 under 25-30 as before it would. Also seems to down shift a bit faster when you get on it while in D.

Cant wait for the ECU tune

**rhcp4life** · 03-08-2012 10:18 PM

PerformanceLed.com Interior kit arrived today. Its been a busy day, ill be installing them tomorrow. Talked to my Tuner today he said UM next day air'd the cable. Andy is a busy with a lot of cars so hopefully I can come up sunday and get the ECU flash and fuel filter changed.

**rhcp4life** · 03-08-2012 10:41 PM

Idle to Redline

Wheel spacer i thought about making, 5x112&5x100 Decided against it for liability issues

**sixteen10** · 03-09-2012 01:15 AM

Awesome ,

to UM and Performance LEDs

How did you get the car to rev from idle to redline?

**Mike.Mike.** · 03-09-2012 09:49 AM

You make that front plate bracket?

no, Some one on golfmk6 made it for a mk6 golf and i machined it to fit...

i paid $50 so it wasnt worth getting material and lathe time.

**rhcp4life** · 03-09-2012 10:23 AM

my goal is to mount the camera stable and do a long exposure and get the tack and the speedo for the 0-60 time... stay tuned

**rhcp4life** · 03-09-2012 03:43 PM

Just talked with Andy from Performance2ning, he got the new cables in and im going up sunday for the ECU flash and fuel filter!

**rhcp4life** · 03-10-2012 08:37 PM

Installed my performanceLED interior light kit. Looks good, Bright!

**rhcp4life** · 03-11-2012 09:18 PM

UM ecu tune loaded!

Andy got my fuel filter changed it shot a load of gas like Ron Jeremy haha

Just bought some adams slotted and drilled rotors, paid $300 for new front and rear rotors and new pads. Not going to use the pads, probably sell them and possibly the rotors also. Depending on what I can get for them they are $500 new for front and rear. I am thinking about 2 piece racebrake light weight rotors, but there kind of pricey

I decided to go with haldex switch for now. I feel like it will benefit me more than the intake.

And just pulled $300 out of savings to get the Adams rotors sooooo, I have to slow down on the mods.... for a bit.

First AutoX event is the day after girls birthday...hope i can make it.

Haldex switch should be here today, rotors tomorrow.

**rhcp4life** · 03-13-2012 08:11 AM

Also noticed a faint noise coming from the passenger rear side of the car. Almost sounds like a servo motor moving back and forth

**rhcp4life** · 03-29-2012 07:56 PM
