My MS3 dogbone mount introduced quite a lot of vibrations. I’m pretty sure the breaking in period is a total myth too, because that was the line back then. I think you just get more accustomed to it.

MunchE posted:I saw some rumblings of this, but also by and large the ST communities have been full of loving morons so I took it with a grain of salt. Been running the Cobb stage 1 tune on my Focus ST for 3-4 years and ~40,000 miles with no issues. This has been my general perception of the Speed3 and GTI forums as well.

BlackMK4 posted:I had no problem with the original JB since it was just a few plugs, but it seems the JB4 uses some vampire tap bullshit that I'm not a fan of. Yeah this is why I went JB1. Lot easier to pop off for emissions testing stuff if they actually inspect the engine bay.

Do it. I had whatever stock tires on my mk7 GTI and put on PSS and it’s like you’re driving on rails.

Rusty posted:VAQ is standard on all trims from 2019 on, maybe from 2018, I am not sure, but definitely 2019 +. I have the diff on my 2017 SE with performance pack. I think that was the key.

My personal anecdote is my 2017 GTI has needed nothing but fluids.

The DSG is very good and (slightly) faster. However, I don’t care about eeking out a slight performance difference since I don’t live on the track. Rowing my own makes me happy and having driven an auto with flappy paddles for a year I realized I hated it, no matter how good it was. The GTI shifter is fine. I had an NC Miata and it was great. Is the GTI’s as good? No, but it’s not bad, either.

What brand is the exhaust? Personally the aftermarket spoiler and exhaust would lend me to think the car has been owned by the type of person to drive it hard, but if it’s a quality spoiler installed well and the exhaust is a reputable brand, perhaps it’s a thoughtful owner. If it’s some eBay special then I’m out.

Dr. Lunchables posted:The two vs four door thing is real though, right? It is not, at least not for that specific reason. If a 2 door variant of a car had more accidents (frequency) and/or causing more damage (severity) then the rates may be higher.

It would be under your collision coverage for sure, if you have it. You’d owe the deductible. If you have Uninsured Motorist Property Damage then depending on the state it may apply instead, again with the deductible. Some states require the uninsured party to be known, some carriers require a police report, etc. If it’s just truly buffing then it’s probably not worthwhile to pursue the claim, but very often what most folks consider minor damage winds up being several hundreds to thousands. Can your fingernail catch on any of the scrapes? If so, it’s well into or past the clearcoat and probably won’t completely buff out.

wolrah posted:A reminder as well that there is no such thing as "voiding the warranty". I agree for most of this post, but there are certain things that can result in nothing being covered under a warranty. An example would be if your car is totaled and later repaired, the factory warranty won’t be honored in any aspect. Here’s the VW language for reference:  The stolen piece is interesting, if it’s stolen and recovered, they could in theory make the claim that the warranty is void.

Enos Cabell posted:I only recently passed the 15k mark on my Mk7.5 GTI I bought in 2020. Got several big road trips lined up later this year at least. I have around 32k on my 2017, and 15k of that was in the first year. It’ll probably turn into rust before I put 100k on it
