What did you do to your N today ?

[1FastStagea]

What’s the battery for ? And good luck with the meth. Guess you changed your mind about using the wiper reservoir ?

Lightweight 400CCA AGM battery (20lbs) to replace the monstrously heavy OEM flooded acid one, should save about 30-35lbs if not more (I still have to weigh the factory one).

I got the kit with the tank included, so I figured why not lol. It's got everything ready to go on it so I'll just try and find a spot for it somewhere

Can I ask what happened or is that un-cool?

Perfect, that saves me some time lol thanks!

So 23lb savings, not to mention quite a bit of engine bay space freed up.

Is there a "how-to" for this really cool mod?

But I am not going to try it if it voids my warranty!

A car parked on the side of the road decided to launch into a u-turn just as i was approaching. Tried to dodge but no chance.

So they had a side mirror delete also? Maybe a brain delete too? Unavoidable and sad to see this happen to an enthusiast car. Condolences.

Oh yea, I rolled over 10K a few days ago as well. RIP resale value, good thing I'll be keeping her for a while

also ft. my terrible fuel economy.

Very nice! Would you mind sharing the dimensions with us? I'll be making my own very shortly once the parts for my home-made intake all come in.

I tried to remove the sound deadening material from under the bonnet (was looking to do a comparison) but couldn’t work out how to ‘pop’ the circular tabs. It was getting so cold that I abandoned that idea until I can figure it out.

I thought about spending the extra money for the trumpet but can’t justify wasting the money on something that’ll prob irritate me after a week.

Yeah, nobody needs to tell you your “tea’s done!” Running joke against all HKS SSQV users running the silly purple whistle insert.

Bought 6qts Amsoil 0w-30 for her today! Got a good deal at NAPA bought a bucket for 2.99 and got each quart for 9.00

Went to pull onto the highway yesterday and for whatever reason my tunebox wasn't working (or so I thought) which made merging difficult not being used to the lag down low in the RPM range!

Turns out for whatever reason it had reset itself back to OFF instead of Sport... Restarted the car and checked the control app. After switching it back on all appeared to be normal and working - weird glitch which I will be monitoring further.

After work I switched it back to factory (unplugged tunebox etc) to check for codes and found nothing. Fingers crossed just a weird glitch or maybe my phone app had something to do with it after my recent android update.

Have also been restart free with the entertainment system all of 2019 and only other bug to report is one day the exhaust valves wouldn't open fully going from Normal to N/Custom but a simple restart fixed that.

Sick of all this rain around making it hard to lay down all the torque!

Agree with the ESG. Did the same thing! Recommended and very easy to do.

I am getting ready for a track day on Monday. Very excited.

Chris, where did you purchase it. The linked page is dead. I doesn't show the product except for the 1.6T. Appreciate your help.
