    Converting Halogen to HID

    Dude, sick headlights! Thanks, man! Do you have 3000k fogs, too? Was that installation hard?

    Converting Halogen to HID

    Sorry if this is hi-jacking the thread, but I have a similar question. I have an 08 MS3 Sport and am looking for HID conversion just like the OP. I want to convert both my lows and the fogs. 1. What's the difference between Apexcone Raptor HID Kit vs DDM HID Kit Slim Ballast? As far as I can...

    best way to clean CAI?

    No need to remove bumper as stated by other members. Use a cleaning solution and soak the filter in the soln for a bit. Then let the filter dry and put the filter back on. ;D

    Grinding into 3rd

    Right after I bought the car, I installed an SU rear engine mount, but the 3rd gear grind kept coming back. I took the car to the dealer recently (car was 1.5 years old) and had a very informative conversation with a tech there; he said the 3rd gear grind was common. He posed a solution under a...
