Changed my transmission fluid to redline and topped off my differential fluid...I've got a small pinion seal leak.

I have a Jetta now. Cars still in the body shop.
Jetta has a turbo.

I'm not looking forward to it. Considering taking it to the dealership, but labor makes a $2 part turn into a $600 bill.

Yeah man, if you have any type of hands on skills, some motivation, and a decent set of tools, you can do it.

Don't want to blow up this thread about it, but shoot me a PM and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions and help out in any way I can.

Hell yeah! I like that front lip you have on there, and that roll cage looked top notch.

a lot has happened in the last month...
1) Gloss orange wrap with Ceramic Pro coating on top.
2) Black chrome side markers
3) Black chrome grilles
4) Painted gloss black hood vents
5) Carbon fiber roundels
6) F80 black m3 emblems
7) Carbon fiber performance spoiler
8) 20% UV tint all around, 50% on windshield.

SDPLV · 08-20-2018, 09:33 AM

In shop (because I don't have my tools with me)...decided to give the (much cheaper) RockAuto rotors a fair try on all 4 corners and an oil change.

Oh, and a fresh new roundel.

Friday: Rod bearings and service done at MRF engineering.

Saturday: Met up with Alex @ Alpine and updated to 241E, stage 1 motor tune, and DCT tune.

Immediately went to the Malibu canyons!

Sunday: Painted the blue stripe on my Alcantara steering wheel with light blue leather paint. Turned out awesome! That faded stripe was bugging the hell out of me.

Do you have before and after photos of the blue stripe and what product you used?

Yeah I’d love to see how it turned out as well. Mine is starting to fade too

XKxRome0ox · 08-20-2018, 04:35 PM

is this LCI trunk? just need some reassurance!
because the seller is pretty far and i don't want to go way out there to discover that they're pre-LCI
it's hard to tell when there isn't the outer light housing to compare to

i am trying to do photo comparisons and this does look like LCI
a little more space between where the light housing goes and top of the trunk lid ...
and the angle seems to be correct?

would appreciate some feedback
thank you.
