love the bell mounts! I might steal that idea for the under computer one for myself

You can't go wrong with a MK7. I've had mine for 4 years, which is the longest I've ever kept a car :ROFLMAO: . Don't see myself getting rid of it anytime soon. It made for a super fun daily, its just a fun summer car now but is a riot at track days. I was deadset on a 2 door so went with a GTI...

thanks man appreciate it! The bolt action stuff should be pretty cool. Ill keep updates on here as I make progress on it. I am currently working on fixturing for the chassis. Plucking away in the garage little by little. So happy to finally start getting some electrical done. First 2...

Work has been pretty frustrating. Awhile ago they hired a couple older guys , 1 of them worked at another company owned by same owners so they have known him 10 years. Since they hired these 2 older guys I have been getting the cold shoulder. The owners just complain about how long I take to get...

same! such a cool place, i wish it was a little closer to me haha but seems like its in a pretty good central location for east coast/midwest riders to get a place to shred in the winter

P slope all put together for a trip down to Rays indoor MTB park. Was a riot, Havent had a 26" bike in probably 6 years. Took some getting used too. Didnt get any good pics well we were there. Forks blew up pretty fast. They will not budge a millimeter even with all my weight on them...

P slope is back from cerakote and reassembled. Paint looks amazing in person, it color shifts in the sun so pics don't do it justice. Going to be swapping out the fork for a newer Marzocchi bomber and getting a fresh set of wheels from my buddies at Industry9. Decided I don't need both a...

Oh gotcha that makes sense. You pretty much never sit on this seat for this bike. It’s a dirt jumper so basically just ride it on jumps and parks. You only sit on the seat when you waiting to drop in or just chilling around

What chair do you mean?

Seat brackets came in. Sadly the bolt pattern on the seats is a few inches wider then on the brackets. I got them rough mounted with only 2 bolts. So a little sketchy, but I am at the shop right now working on adapters so all 4 bolts are in. Door card looks very out of place now, that will...

The Nardi Gara 4 wheel came in from Japan yesterday. Got it installed Im so stoked on it. Had to print a small spacer for it to fit right. Need to make a second version that will make the steering angle sensor work. Right now it doesn't so blinkers don't turn off on their own. Not a big deal...

The stage 3 southbend really isnt that bad. I really like how it feels but if it is a shared car with your wife then you probably wouldn't want to do it. Golf R clutch wouldn't be a bad way to go, i've heard of that SACHS one as well. I had considered it before i went with the southbend. If I...

Interesting I never knew of these, ill look into them. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have always wanted to get the 3d printers at work more automated. I started on this a year ago but didn't make much progress. Last week I had an idea and got it working pretty well as a first step. Basically before I would print a bed full of parts. It would run for about 12 hours and then be...

When I first got my MK7 GTI removing the delay valve and helper spring were the very first things I did. It was terrible lol. I've been on a Southbend Stage 3 clutch now though for 60k miles so I don't really remember how it felt stock but I am happy with how it is now. It is on the heavier side...

I struck some gold this weekend. I was planning on getting those sparco seats but what I really wanted was some older recaros. My issue being they usually are too much money for me. Since I am addicted to facebook marketplace I am always looking for a set to pop up in my price range. Well that...

My truck is a 97, Part way thru 97 toyota made some changes thru out it. Mine must have been made early in the year before those changes. One of them was the dashboard. The radio/climate bezel area had a very minor change but enough that the entire dashboard is different. That also means that...

Go figure once I take apart my car I decide I want to do a bunch of work to the truck. Although I have been driving it a lot this year I haven't really touched it much mechanically. There were a few larger items I have been wanting to do and a lot of small ones. Now that I am fully daily driving...

a man can never have enough cabinet space

I haven't really done much with cars over the last couple years. I just got so fed up with working in my driveway/yard that it burnt me out and I sold off or threw away most of my stuff. Well now I have a garage, I made some room so I could pull the GTI into the garage to put on winter tires...
