Had to purchase two rears, so I went with Dunlop Direzza DZ102's to match the fronts. Got em in 255/35. I'm tired of doing self tire plugs. The Potenzas are needed to replaced since they got nothing left.

I'm hoping for the former, but we'll see once I get the chance to clean the wheels (again)

rebuilt my shifter, the bushings and everything. all of them
i dropped my exhaust and driveshaft to get as much room to play. then chris_flies mentions he did it sucessfully with just bending the heatshield out of the way. bout to shower and crawl into bed, beyond exhausted also my selector rod seal is busted lol - im just gonna have my friend (whos a VW tech AKA access to a lift) replace it. I'm slowly getting sick of working on my back (ha!) which is good because most of the heavy mods are done. Quote:

I've been wanting to get a new wheel, but I'm on the fence if I want to do Alcantara. That price is nice though, most of the leather wheels that I'd want are over $600 lol. DCT wheels make it even more scarce |

Over the weekend I picked up a set of 313s, blacklines already equipped with led reverse and signals, carbon diffuser, and a strut bar from one of our fellow 1addicts. Great guy and great seller and he gave me a good deal. I got everything on but the wheels you know why? Because when I got tires put on a few months ago the jackasses impacted my wheels locks on I sheared off one key in a bolt and stripped the other. This has me pretty pissed off and I tried to get them off with a socket but one is too big and the other too small.

How'd you determine that your selector rod seal is busted? And yes, working on the back is horrid and no fun at all...

Ordered new coil packs. Still having timing issues and pretty long cranks to start the car after the spark plug change. Seems like these two changes rarely fix the issues here on the forums, hopefully this fixes them for me.

Check your starter cable, specifically at the positive battery terminal in the engine bay (near the DME). Mine had corroded and was causing issues with long starts. Eventually it completely shit the bed and sent me into a dark limp mode with zero power on the highway. Luckily made it to the emergency lane just fine.

Will do. But because I'm an idiot, I care more about my car making all these timing corrections and feeling slower when it does. Starting is cool, but going fast is much better.

Creamed all over the body and then dropped the diffuser off for a repaint.

Sorry - my daughter made me watch Nemo again this weekend. Did the same to my blue 1'er this weekend (no diffuser, just foam/bath), but didn't take any pictures.
