Screw you Jalopnik and your damn click baiting. I clicked the headline hoping to see a video of a clown themed Kid Rock cover band and I am leaving dissatisfied and sour. This is why I read Yahoo for my auto news.

My dad has a Nogaro blue S4 that, knock on wood, hasn't had any timing chain issues. I do fear that he may run into that issue some day but he won't sell it and this is why:

Anyone considering doing this should hop on the GarageJournal.com forums and check out the various tips and threads on epoxy flooring both commercial and DIY kits. Prep is everything but so is the quality of the kit - not all epoxies are the same. The most durable epoxies contain more solids than the cheaper brands…

That could also be the location where it was detailed for the photos.

Same idea but a completely different car. This is not an example of badge engineering. That crap ended when Mazda and Ford parted ways years ago.

Cannot be unseen. Would buy & hoon anyway.

Ah, today I learned....

I got a set of Falken 912's for $41/each (plus mount and balance) after a rebate. They also were covered by Falken's 60,000 mi warranty. The secret to that bargain is just having skinny ass 14" wheels. However, paying $50 for a thing bigger than that starts wandering into the realm of POS Mastercraft tires made of…

Contaminated as in snow/ice that has blown into a non-running engine?

Well a rattle can of Rustoleum is about $4, so by my math about $49,624.65

Take delivery in the daylight and not when it's raining. You want to be able to closely inspect the car and make sure it doesn't have any surprise door dings or scratches before you even take it off of the lot. I only did a cursory visual inspection when I took delivery of my brand new 2007 GTI on a damp and cold…

Very true. I had a 1986 Fiero with only 86,000 miles on it and it was a rusted out piece of crap that broke almost monthly for the year or so I owned it.

I replaced mine with the OEM open grills and added collectors and high temp flex hose to make brake ducts.

No turbo in these shots :/

The bigger the slower - right now N1 speeds are typically in the range of 2500-3000 rpm

I sold my modified 2007 GTI a few years ago. The ad listed all of the modifications that went into making it an effective HPDE tool- ECU tune, engine bolt ons, coilovers, sway bars, brake upgrades, custom weld-in rollcage, Sparco seats, 6-pt harnesses, wheels, sticky tires, etc. All said and done I had almost $10k…

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT look at what APR has been able to do with the Stage 1 tune on the MK7. You'll be as depressed as I was and I had a MK5 Stage 2 tune

Yep, I work out of the Evendale plant. I've been out to Peebles quite a few times to monitor HF120 tests. It's very cool to get inside the gates of that facility. I can't wait to see this big motor up on the stands - should make for a much better show than that little HF120.

I work at GE on the external modules (lube, secondary air, drains, etc).

Just wait for the GE90's replacement - the GE9X. I just started working on that bad boy and it's one sweet machine
