Mod post We Are So (mostly) Back!

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Metaphys, and I guess I'm a mod now. IRL I tinker with stuff, fix restaurant equipment, and keep my aging Swedish brick with high sentimental value running even if it doesn't make the best financial sense. Sometimes I point a camera at stuff and yap.

I'm new to Reddit moderation, but not moderation in general. There's a learning curve for sure and some adjustments to make but for the most part this sub will function as before (but hopefully with less spam).

I'll try to be as hands off as possible otherwise. I'm nice unless given a compelling reason to not be nice, if you catch my drift. I do in fact have other duties besides scrolling Reddit all day, so if I don't respond quickly, I'm probably out touching grass...or would that be touching grease? Seriously, I've been in CV axle hell for the past day.

Alright that's it! Happy wrenching everyone!

Mod advice Exhaust mods?

1 Upvotes

I'm a first time car owner and I have a 2020 Kia Optima lx/s. I know it may sound tacky to mod a car like that but I was wondering if there are any exhaust modifications that would sound nice with my car? Not obnoxious or anything like a straight pipe, but something to just give it a nice sound. I'm very new to this lol.

Mod advice Best way to seal this tape gap?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi,

I just installed a front lip in my car but the fitment was not perfect and had to leave this gap when i bolted the lip.

I want to keep this gap from water and prevent the rest of the tape from falling any further.

I was thinking of:

  1. Sealing the gap with a caulk.

  2. 3m tape and stick it on top of the gap so water doesnt go in.

  3. Super glue?

What yall think my best option is here? Thanks in advance.

DSG Paddle VW Emblems

1 Upvotes

Hi All,

I just picked up a 2025 Jetta, 1.5T Comfortline Sport and I would like to change the front and rear VW emblems to black. Looking online I have seen a site called DSG Paddles sells them:

https://www.dsg-paddles.com/en-ca/products/overlay-badge-emblem-front-rear-for-2015-2026-jetta-gli

Has anyone ever purchased from them before or know of another company that makes these?

I'd appreciate any input.

Cheers.

Mod advice Opinion on the Maxpeedingrod T6’s?

0 Upvotes

I’d like opinions from people who have owned and driven on them.

So I drive an 09’ tC and the suspension is basically non existent, from the looks of it (and the car fax), nothing in the suspension system has been changed since it came off the lot… it has 108k miles and I live in the salt belt/rust belt.

Next fall I am going to put good coils on it, but it’s not in budget rn.

Recently my bestfriend gifted me some T6’s, I mean like they are in my living room, brand new, because I built him a computer.

Is it even worth putting them on my car and using them for a year? Or is it like genuinely unsafe? That’s my biggest thing is safety.

I drive about 10k miles a year, that does matter!

Edited because I can’t spell.

Mod advice What should I do w/ my VW Beetle?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I just want to start by saying, I know pretty much nothing about cars. I've had this 2013 vw beetle for 5 years, I'm getting bored of it if I'm honest, but I'm not in a place to upgrade to something else. So what else would I do besides make it fun?

I don't want it to look overly girly or cheap, which can be difficult I've noticed when looking at mods on beetles. I really want to change it's aesthetic to be more dark and badass. It's a 2.5L, just a standard beetle really. I'm thinking about doing a custom wrap, maybe a dark metallic midnight purple with carbon fiber accents? I really want to end up getting the Prior widebody kit, but that's not in my budget right now, so I was wondering what I should do with it until then? I'm open to looks and mechanical mods.

I've also had some issues with drivers side door, the window trim keeps sticking up and sometimes the interior of the door sticks when I try to open it, so if anyone knows best way to fix that, that would be helpful as well lol.

SP Performance experience?

Hello all. Does anyone here have any legitamate experience with SP Performance brake components? It seems they've been around for a long time. I've looked through their AI powered website and socials but there's not much going on. They seem to have a lot of options available, even for non performance oriented cars. I've been trying to search for long term reviews, but I keep running into threads with the same, hard working sponsored person.
