I don't know much so no comment on if the revs are spiking unexpectedly high from pushing the pedal down - for the shift indicator though, it seems fairly dynamic on my Mk7.5 GTI. Like if I'm going up a hill it knows to wait longer to indicate an upshift, and I'm pretty sure if I'm pushing the gas harder for fast acceleration it also knows I'm in go fast mode and waits a lot longer to prompt to shift.

Rusty posted:Clutch slipping always starts with low revs in my experience. If you want to know if your clutch is slipping, go 60 on the highway in 6th and give it some gas and see if the revs go up without acceleration and then catches. It eventually shows more and more in the lower revs as it gets worse. Yea, that's pretty much what it's doing. I'm mainly noticing it in 4-6 right now, and it's when I try to accelerate. teh_Broseph posted:I don't know much so no comment on if the revs are spiking unexpectedly high from pushing the pedal down - for the shift indicator though, it seems fairly dynamic on my Mk7.5 GTI.

I'm not talking about the shift indicator, just the display of the actual gear the transmission is in.

It might be the clutch slipping causing the module to think you’re in neutral. I’d start shopping around for a replacement and definitely get a stage one or two if you’ve got a tune. They are known to be somewhat of a weak point once you start down that road.

My neighbor just got a nice looking used FoST and I wish they still made them. Kinda bums me out seeing fewer hot hatches and wagons in the US.

Kinda bums me out seeing fewer hot hatches and wagons in the US. you can still buy one or you can spend $6-10k less and get a FiST, which is the funner, better handling car although it has less straight-line power I’ve been putting a lot of miles on my FiST since getting it in Aug/Sep, and especially driving it in MA during this winter I’ve refound the feeling I had years ago when dailying my E36 through the worst, most busted roads in all of Massachusetts—the feeling that you’re driving a current/future classic into the dirt and wantonly destroying the gently caress out of it. Except this time it’s even worse because at least the E36 has 15”s which give you a decent amount of cushion on those garbage road surfaces. I hit potholes and road cracks and debris with my factory wheels and hair-thin sidewalls that like straight up reset my spinal alignment. I’m constantly pulling over and checking my undercarriage for damage and poo poo.

I hope someone is able to convince BMW to federalize the M3 touring but the fact they arent even selling the standard touring here is pretty dire. New FoST looks good too. Also Golf R estate!!!

Ok Comboomer posted:you can still buy one lol they're both selling for over what they did new now. I paid $21k out the door with new car interest rates for my FoST in 2016 The gap on the cars was only like $2-3k new and spot checking it's about the same now There's an argument to be made for the Fiesta, it's the lighter more nimble car and in my case was just way too small to be a livable daily driver. But they aren't selling $10k cheaper

Ok Comboomer posted:they were when I bought mine Long term, I can see the Fiesta holding onto more value than the Focus. It has more of a reputation as a Sports Car and has gotten lots of favorable press everywhere. As a popularity note the Focus ST didn't make it from Forza Horizon 4 to 5 but the Fiesta is still in both. They're both "last of their kind" cars but Fiesta has a lot stronger reputation and will probably cost more than Focuses in the future

Yeah I literally just don't have anywhere I need to go except occasionally going to grab some takeout or something and the last thing I want to do is leave my house if I don't have to when it's -15C out. As long as it's above freezing I'll just go out for a drive as something to do but for now it's just not worth the effort of bundling up, scraping the car off, hopefully not side swiping a snowbank on my way out of the neighbourhood, and then roasting my balls off once the car warms up. Hopefully we get some relief in Feb.

 Just placed an order for a new daily. Really looking forward to this. Interested to see how the active damper system they’re using now compares to the previous one. And the new double clutch steptronic vs the old dsg thing. Tbh it’ll just be nice to have CarPlay.

I see a Mini and CarPlay mentioned, time to contribute my monstrosity!: Apparently I don't have that many pictures of my car. And mostly bad. Mine is the tacky one on the right:  2008, had pretty much every known common engine problem, many at least once. Replacing it with a Kona N soon cause I make questionable decisions, it's weird and dumb in mostly right ways for me. It's...kinda like a hot hatch?

This thing: It looks all digital but it’s actually just a portrait screen in between two physical gauges that are lit to mimic screens. I’m impressed. I’m impressed you got your phone working with the older style stereo. As soon as I looked at retrofitting on my current one my eyes just glazed over. Automotive wiring is not the one.

Bape Culture posted:This thing: My setup mostly works, and no internal wiring to mess with. It's basically just an Android phone with one of those wireless CarPlay adapters. Music audio goes through an old Bluetooth-iPod adapter that hooks up through the original iPod integration. Phone audio (and Siri) is...broken, cause the car's Bluetooth pairing doesn't stick anymore for whatever reason. Not sure whether it's something broken car side like messed up memory or battery, and/or newer iPhone/iOS just not playing nice.

welp, it finally happened. I ate some curb, in a restaurant drive-thru, no less turns out the clear film the PO applied to the side skirt trim is actually worth a drat, and appears to have saved the actual body of the car from any damage I could find both passenger-side rims got a fair bit of a shave, unfortunately, but it should blend into all the other nicks and curb rash that I bought them with

Also, apropos of my sad curbed rims, what kind of filler do pro wheel refinishing shops use to fill curb gouges? Is it just Bondo? I know DIYers will use that or JBWeld.
