    I like my 5eat in the 05 with torque parameters modified in ECU. Curious how different that is than the 07+. Im sure the valve body swap in 05 and 06 5eat end up being slick..

    There was some method of cycling the key on off, on off, etc. and the odometer will display the code apparently. I tried it for 30 minutes one day, 10 minutes another and just gave up. My ABS + ErrSS comes on only after heavy snow/very humid, moisture related it seems..

    So... if it's rusting and they coat it with some aerosol can rust "inhibitor" after it's already rusting, they have satisfied the recall? If that's all it takes to legally satisfy a known problem... man I'm going to become a prostitute. That's all I got to do to satisfy people? Spray them with rust inhibitor?

    Crap! How'd you bend those so perfectly haha.

    The gas tank seams and these brake lines are two of the biggest issues I feel people should make a bigger stink about... they're sometimes more expensive than a new turbo!

    Ironically I burn less than a quarter quart at 3k miles, but some piston slap at start for no more than 15 seconds unless cold (maybe 30 when below -5 celsius), but compression was down maybe 10% on one cylinder.
  7. Wasted Potential
    Timing belt, water pump, and tensioner all new within 8k miles. It is worse when cold as well, not sure if that helps indicate piston slap?
  8. Wasted Potential
    Curious how many members would walk away from an LGT that has piston slap for 5 to 15 seconds on start up.
  9. Wasted Potential
    I'd sell my LGT for 9k and it's pretty fresh lol....

    I despise electrical and computer stuff. It's difficult for me for some reason. Definetly stands out and is pretty cool!

    Unfortunately not looking for coilovers as they won't handle salt well, constand readjustments for seasons, and I won't want to rebuild them after a year or two. Hoping for iON's or Epic's/Eibach's but that isn't possible unless used. Would do rallitek springs but they're 440 for a set.. Only want 1 to 1.3 inch drop. H&R seems like only viable option.
  12. Wasted Potential
    Is it just me, or does it seem like Swift springs (advertised at lowering F/R by 1.2/1) look more aggressive than H&R (1.4/1.3)? People state to use KYB's w/ H&R but not with swifts either..
  13. Wasted Potential
    Does it provide much flex/articulation? Seems it might be too stiff for a lot.
  14. Wasted Potential
    Correct. I sit here waffling back and forth on whether to spend the money on rims that are heavier than stock, or just coil overs. I feel like I often over mod to the point of boredom (or to the point that I want some equity back out of the vehicle). So, mediocre tires and rims, or just new rubber on factory rims and coilovers... ahhh....
  15. Wasted Potential
    Does anyone know the max adjustments on camber for front and rear on stock suspension? Intent is Tein Basis coil overs set to 1.2 lower on front and 1.0 lower rear, on 18x8.5 et 35 with 235/40/18, rolled front and rear. Just trying to figure out how much extra camber it needs and what parts for extra camber are needed...
