Re: From China with Love

Jetta and I got second place in the qualifying round of the 100' dash! Would've got a similar position in the finals too if I realized that the second round qualifying was not the final LOL! My jetta deserves a nice little gift tomorrow!

Hey mk4 guys can any of you measure the distance between the b pillars on a mk4 jetta(distance between front b pillar seatbelt mounts) I won't be able to measure mine since I'm on vacation, I need to order a harness bar.

Do you plan on removing it when people use the backseat?

Not really if I'm getting the universal type that goes around the back of the front seats, but if I'm not me going it I'm wrapping them in styrofoam so my rear passengers don't get hurt under emergency braking

Re: From China with Love

Installed the axle today and stripped one of the six bolts... But it seems alright so that'll will do for now.
Also replaced the blown solowerks with pss9s very pleased with the ride and handling, definitely a very noticeable upgrade, currently set dampening to 4 fr but I feel the need to turn fronts to 3 for a little more dampening.
The ride height is quite interesting, rears all the way down about 3mm higher than solos, fronts all the way down exceeding lowering limit by two inches still sits 1.2cm above solos.. Will see what happens and will post pics after it settles down next week, might need to raise the rear if fronts don't drop enough..

Re: From China with Love

I would be quite worried about the stripped bolt. You will have less weight on one portion of the transmission output flange and i suspect there will be some vibrations to go along with it, plus it being a non-OEM axle which will probably give you vibrations anyways might not be the best combo.
I hope it really works out for you but i would do some careful testing before doing any long trips with the vehicle.

Yeah I was worried about balance too but it seems fine so far going 15kmh, I might replace it with a similar weight bolt and nut just in case.

Installed bfi stage 2 engine and transmission mounts today with ginger beef's help, man the car sounds beefy. The exhaust sounds totally different now, completely eliminated the wheel hop too combined with r32 control arm and ecs dog mount.

I think I should polish my skid plate now that it never hit anything anymore...
