    My '08 Passat 2.0T

    Haven't logged in to this forum in awhile. 10/20/11: I traded in my '00 Accord EX for this, then added coil-overs and 18's: Great car but at only 45,000 miles it's showing a tendency to rust in random locations. My 6GA went through many tough winters and had not one spot of rust. Now I'm...

    Creaking/rattling noise coming from headliner

    When my car is in motion I can hear a slight creak/rattle coming from what seems like the dome light. It's driving me insane. It doesn't seem to be the sunroof blind. I've tapped my fingers all around to see if I can get it to make the same noise but no dice. Has anyone else run into this...

    Some Exhaust Q's

    I plan to replace my manifold and cat with the DC sports 4-2-1 ceramic header and the Magnaflow direct fit cat (w/ flanges) as both of my OEM units are looking pretty beat. I know I'll need gaskets and hardware for the cat, but I have no idea if the DC sports header comes with a gasket or...

    This upsets me.

    How do these come out or don't they? I am referring to the rusty license plate mounts.

    Clogged cat: common issue?

    I've experience a loss in power, mileage and louder exhaust sound. There is no CEL but I can no longer feel the VTEC crossover above 4k rpm. Should I just buy a new cat? Is there a diagnostic I can do? I'm trying to avoid taking it to the dealer. I've also been having surging issues in...

    Clutch Questions

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about upgrading my clutch as I bought my car with 103K miles on it, now at 112K I think I'm about ready for a new one. I don't need any super-duper racing clutch but I would like to add the PSPEC short throw shifter kit and a clutch that will allow for quicker shifts...

    My struts are shot / best way to spend my tax return?

    OK, I desperately need new struts - my stock suspension has pretty much had it at 111xxx miles. Originally, I was looking for a set of TEIN basics but nobody seems to have them or they are ridiculously expensive. *edit* After some searching, the KYB GR2s aren't what I would want for a lowered...

    My Mom's Mustang GT

    I drove it. It is a tight car, nice sound, nice seats, I loved the shifter and the factory audio. Trying to get mom to park where I wanted to take the photo was the only challenge. :lol: Sidenote: this shot was taken at my camera's lowest image quality setting. I forgot to change it back...

    Maint Req'd light flashes for 5 seconds when starting

    Is my car trying to tell me something or is that normal? I don't think I've noticed it before. :thinking:

    My friend's A6 Avant - at present. Those are R8 wheels btw. I really liked this pearl white paint job. Guess what car.

    Abandoned Factory

    All with my 50mm. Sorry, those smoke stacks were the most prevalent thing at the whole site. There used to be a huge rusty water tower but it recently collapsed.

    More from the vault - 56K don't do it.

    All taken with my old crappy point 'n shoot Canon!

    Almost forgot about these.

    My buddy's A6 Avant pre-slammed. These girls randomly showed up in bikinis. No sh*t. And this is how we do winter up in CNY: Wish my Accord had Quattro!

    My trip to Albany, NY (56k = go bake a cake)

    I love architecture so I shoot a lot of buildings... these shots were taken with my old Powershot A80 in January of '07: Taken about 30 seconds before a train chased us off the bridge. Two photog buddies and I literally ran for our lives. I was the only one to come away with a photo.

    Check out what I got last weekend...

    "The wind blew the door into your car!" The guy has a YELLOW beat-a$$ Dodge Dakota. He doesn't seem willing to spend money on his own truck so we'll see how willing he is to pay me for this. My deductible is $200 and I just had a hail damage claim back in Aug/Sep of last year. It was actually...

    Need cheap OE size wheels

    My snow tires are mounted on my factory alloys... and another set from eBay will cost over $400 shipped. A friend said I could get steelies from tirerack.com but I can't find 'em. I need wheels to mount my summer tires on, ideas? :thinking:

    Budget Brakes aka stopping on the cheap

    www.tasauto.com has a full set of rotors and pads for the 4cyl EX for $144.95 + shipping. That's all 4 wheels which seems pretty damn cheap and almost too good to be true. I checked prices at Advance Auto and I'd be spending that for front rotors alone from there for anything "name brand."...

    How much will a bad o2 sensor affect MPG?

    I'm averaging 23mpg right now, with snow tires and a bad sensor... I'd say I drive 70% city, 30% rural highways.
