[Castlesofsand]

Did a tune up a few days ago. Got my air intake in weds just waiting on my short shifter and exhaust to come in now... Can't wait.

Saturday -- self performed 100k service on my 06 Jetta.

Oil, filter, air filter (looked fine at 80k so I left it in), checked CV boots, lubed door hinges, cabin air filter, injector cleaner, checked brake pad thickness, and a wash. Took it to Discount tire to have my Michelin Primacy's rotated and balanced. I do need to get it to a service shop for brake fluid and coolant flush/replacement. I don't perform those myself.

Cheers

NLS short shifter and 42DD bushings. Awesome feel.

wow really? I had significant vibration at very low rpm after I installed my 85a. mainly when starting out in first gear.

Yeah, I read every review that I could find on the mount, and I was expecting the vibrations. I was really thinking it would be something that I'd have to deal with and get used too, but at first start up, I was shocked, as there was no crazy vibrations. Very stock cabin feel, and much much more responsive when driving. I love it! Very solid product!

[thygreyt]

Same. I too have an 85a and there are some vibrations. Minimal, but there.

Installed a USP testpipe and got the 95oct tune from APR.

My curent mods Carbonio CAI, USP Testpipe, APR 93 flash. (AWE catback in production. Can't wait!)

I didn't get to drive too much today but The car pulls much harder in 1st and 2nd gear (tiptronic) and all around. The top end improved a little bit, but still an issue...

I'm more impressed with the pedal response. As soon as i got into my car it was the first thing I noticed. The car revs really agressively.

The annoying rev hang is gone.

The car is has some new characteristics but nothing dramatic.

Can't wait to get the cat back on with the test pipe. Theres a whine between 2500 rpms to about 3100 super annoying and then it growls with the CAI.

I assume this is because of the stock cat. Anyone experienced this?

Anyways I'm excited about my car again. I was coming to terms with how slow it was...I was getting angry. But progress is being made.

Next step is coilovers.

Then saving for an 02q swap

[wetheitalians]

I washed her, gave her 2 coats of wax, vacuumed every inch, changed her cabin filter, changed her oil....then when i was done i gave her a good spank'n around town... V'Dub Luv

[mldouthi]

I took the intake manifold back off to check the fitment of the new design for the cast plenum. Some tweeks will need to be made, but I need more than 2 hands to hold and measure so they will have to wait until tomorrow, or until I can get some helping hands.

[itskohler]

New turn signals.

I will be doing this next week as well. How was the install?

Hardest part is getting the OEM rubber bushing out of the arms. Super easy for me since my battery is in the hatch and out of the way. Be careful not to drop your clips into the abyss. PM me if you have any questions. GL

[thygreyt]

finished with my wire tucking.

[Anile_eight]

Finally got my brakes done... Effin eh! stupid north! I hate the salt and snow. I've been down here now for 5 yrs (2 with the car) and haven't changed the brakes until now. Man those 4 M14 bolts were a huge pain. It took a day to get them off. 3 hrs of liquid wrench, 3 hrs of PB and then 1.5 hrs of the home brew (ATF and Acetone) and finally got them loose with a 2 foot pipe. Oh and there was some paint involved... I only have a crappy cell phone picture: (The GTI brake upgrade, just finished bedding them. These were still new lol

Ate premium one. Here are the rears, but you get the idea. Good luck finding them though, they just pulled out of the USA. The rears were next to impossible to find. The fronts were a lot easier. I grabbed the ceramics to hopefully cut down on some dust int he rear and HPS up front

[thygreyt]

[DerekH]

Lol, you are the 3rd black mk5 i have seen with yellow calipers. Looks good though.

HPS dust pretty bad, specially with slotted rotors :S

the front never seemed to have any dust compared to the rears but after bedding I could see the pad material in the groves lol.

hmm... I have never seen any pictures of the black and yellow calipers. Personally, I love it and am very happy
