"hey bro, how much for the wheels? are the indicators still available?"

So people are basically being you... to you... and this bothers you...

i no understand? y u no make birds do it?

Thought you'd be more shocked that someone in VWL is actually heeding the advice of other VWLers for once

Hardly, all in would be to stay in it and actually make some money...when I told people not to sell at a loss they didn't listen. If they followed my exact moves they'd be paying capital gains.

I'm just glad I sold my CBA's when I did at about $85 they did go up a tiny bit more but not for long and now they're down to $75, more luck than anything else

Dumb question, is there any good BUDGET detailers? Somewhere where you can just go on a very low notice and get a reasonable to OK job of interior detailing because majorly CBF and car looks pretty shit 95% of the time anyway?

By "good enough" I mean good enough to think "oh yep, that's cleaner now" but with 0 desire to actually take a photo of it.

I would suggest doing it yourself.

mainly because the vaccuum will likely create a spark near a fuel leak and you car will likely be burned saving you (and by proxy, us) from many more years of heartache

I paid 32 bucks at one of those shopping center joints for a exterior wash / polish actually turned out not half bad. Why not just go to somewhere like this? 

My car was shocking after taking it through dirt roads.

inb4 "dose guys scratch your car doe" 

Yeah the thing is my lovely better half is eventually going to respray the car so scratches not really that concerned right now.

Would take to shopping centre, Was curious if any are known as being better or worse than others. Maybe someone knew, etc.

I currently DIY it and I do a decent enough job for myself but I always figure paying someone would get a better result, every now and then.

Given my effort is a few wipes over the plastic to remove dust and occasionally wash the mats and a little 12v vaccuum I own, I don't have massively high expectations, I only washed the mats because I managed to break a take away curry all over the mat... and washed it after about 10 days later, so that'll give you some idea of the quality of job I am looking for

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
