What did you do to your MK6 today?

You should just need to roll it all the way down and all the way back up. EZPZ.

And hold for a few seconds.

Maybe check your hub rings? Are they new?

Yes, brand new that came with the APR wheels.

Two small gripes that I'm already working on: my one touch windows on the driver side aren't working so I need to try a calibrate there, and they seem to have completely removed the firewall plug+grommet in order to run the power wire. The increased intake noise is cool, but good god does the CBFA sound like shit at startup.

One touch working now, all good.

Audio shop lost the firewall plug and can't find it. Dealership found the part in about 45 seconds, $16. Parts guy: "Just curious...did you lose it in, like, a subwoofer install? Every time."

You should port the part number for the next guy.


Speaking of this grommet, I need to find the grommet to run my boot gauge line to wrap that install up... been quite a while since I didn't finish that one

White line rear sway bar. Put it on the softest setting for now. Will be installing the front this weekend when I have more time. Feels pretty good with just the rear.

Do I say fuck it and cut the front sway bar off? Lol Doubt I’ll ever put the stock sway bar back on

Replaced upper timing cover gasket and the two seals around the cam variator. Hopefully this fixes my oil leak that killed the water pump gasket and the seal around the cam bridge is okay.

I loved the way my 034 RSB changed the car when I did it years ago. Glad you're diggin' the one you put on. I've heard mixed feelings as to the benefits of the FSB. I know it it makes a difference, but how it makes the car handle is obviously subjective and I'm happy with just my RSB and all the other suspension mods thus far.

If you are going to go through the trouble of installing the FSB, if it makes it easier go ahead and cut the front stock one off. Do you really plan on going to go through the hassle of putting the stock back on and getting another alignment?

Enjoy!

I don't think you're really saving any time cutting it out, especially if you're putting an aftermarket on. You have to lower the subframe a few inches regardless and just making extra work for yourself.

Anyone had their window refuse to close past a certain point?

My passenger rear window will close almost all the way, giving up just an inch before being totally shut. It opens normally, and closes to that point just fine. I reset the pinch protection/window limits and disconnected the battery to remove any odd memory errors.

The window regulator seems to work just fine, spinning smoothly off the door, and both switches seem to be in perfect shape. Looks like I'll need to drill out the riveted inner panel to access the guts of the mechanism?

I know I’ll have to drop the subframe about an inch to get the new one in which isn’t a big deal tbh. I’ve done a collar kit and it’s the same concept.

But getting the stock one out without cutting it seems like I’ll have to completely drop the subframe because of the sway bar brackets.
