post sedan for sale- clearly state it will be bare from the front doors forward and no wheels
"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

You literally just bought an R32 in the exact condition as the car the guy is making inquiries about

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

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
