QUOTE (Scott Urich @ Mar 31 2019, 03:44 PM) Replacement..... mk5 was dead Wow. Was it related to that oil leak from last month? Or did something go “Ka-pow”? That just seems so.....extreme. Care to share any particulars, or is the memory too painful? 😢😢😢 And, are you sure this won’t be faster?😎 -------------------- Scott Meyers

That car had a salvage title and just wasn’t worth that kind of money to fix. Time to step up and go a little faster in class. Who am I kidding I’m a slow driver😝, I need all the aid I can get 😂 -------------------- Scott U

Wow... so this is what happens when you ditch a Miata for a GTI huh? I’m surprised that one had so many problems, it seemed like it was in such nice shape!

Lmao (the answer is always Miata) It was in good shape but when I had the pcv valve blow on the top of the motor back in January it caused a cascade effect of problems namely it causes the rear main seal to blow out; I was anticipating doing the timing chain but after the rear main seal it just didn’t make financial sense to spend that much money on a car that was only going to worth the same as I was going to have to put into it. Plus I’m a VW fan boy and I’ve been wanting to get a mk7 gti for awhile anyways. Plus I work hard at work so I can have some toys.

Wheels, sway bar, etc....?🤔 -------------------- Scott Meyers

Now there just needs to be a Fahrenheit edition in orange like the MK5. -------------------- TJ Triolo

Scott, I know how to make that car a pretty wicked GS car and still be awesome for 1000mi road trips. We need to talk.
