On Friday I got my Jetta chipped with APR 93, it has transformed from a peppy family car to a quick family car. It is really quite fun.

Serious question: Why remove the rear wiper? I had one of these and that back window turns to grime city driving in the rain.

Amoan posted:The motor was trashed and I wash it once a week Makes sense, also noticed the Texas plates, here in Montreal there's 6 months of the year where salt coats absolutely everything and you go through a tank of washer fluid every 2 weeks. Oh to live somewhere dry and warm.

~Coxy posted:Me too. Even with a reversing camera (and RainX), having no rear wiper makes it hard to reverse in wet conditions. They'd probably make it only available in some package with a bunch of stupid bullshit you don't want for an extra $1,300

My parents have a ground well that goes through UV light filter then a particulate filter and I have never in my life had a better rinse in my life as when I've washed my car at their house.

I installed a 22 year old CD player in my 25 year old car and kissed my 10 year old dog on the forehead for helping.

Fun fact: diffuser splitter aero stuff is fun and cool until you live somewhere that has the worst frost heaving asphalt on the planet. Bump at the bottom of a hill in comfort mode made a fun noise. Spent about an hour in a ditch looking for little pieces of black plastic. Then used up about 3 years worth of brain cells and a pile of fiberglass. And here we have "Good enough"...

Put some spacers on to flush everything up. Anticipating more stone chips but I'm also an idiot and would rather it look chunky.
