  1. Nearly bought aftermarket air intake kit - noped out on idea as they are hecking expensive, although aesthetically pleasing don't provide much power gain, can cause issues with PCV valve (to the point #oil is forced past #gaskets), heat soak in heavy traffic/summer weather - and I should know better at my age anyway than to even consider adding such things to my #car (I'd also have to pay a few quid extra in insurance as a further #mod )

    I often drive home very late at night and extra noise is going to piss off neighbours, and would only be a temptation to drive faster / more aggressively than I should - especially with traffic hazards and and price of #petrol (as expected, #GolfGTI gets more thirsty under hard acceleration) #cars #autos

  6. Nice, looks like you can buy all kinds of custom #replacement #fridge/#freezer/cooler #gaskets even if they are no longer available from the manufacturer.
