Buying advice for 2002 golf 2.0L manual

It has 170k miles on it, and he offered me 1k for it. It was originally listed for 1.5k. He says it’s in limp mode and capped at 65mph because of a sensor, he doesn’t know which one though.

I’ve never owned a VW, but have owned manual cars. I’m willing to work on it.

Rear motor mount vs rear sway bar

Looking to get an upgrade before heading to Helen, GA for Oktoberfest. I want to do an upgrade like these before going because of the fun windy roads there, but I’m debating between a GGP rear motor mount or a rear sway bar.

Few questions:

  1. ⁠What was the most noticeable upgrade?
  2. ⁠What stiffness should I do for the motor mount?
  3. ⁠Hows the vibrations with the rear motor mount?
  4. ⁠What’s the difference between a solid and hollow sway bar? I hear either Eibach for hollow or Progress for solid.

I don’t get mountain roads where I am at all, and I have a 2020 Hatch SE 6mt. I already have an intake, wheels, exhaust, and short throw shifter.

Thanks for any input!

Vinyl coverup for piano black manual interior

Has anyone found a good vinyl or plastic coverup for the piano black but for the manual car? I keep finding the automatic version but no manual, also looking for any coverups on the infotainment system too.

Dual exit exhausts

Anyone running dual exit exhausts? I bought an exhaust off marketplace but it doesn’t have the exhaust tips, and I found some pretty nice dual exits for $40 new. I was thinking quad but these have a pretty wide exit, just wondering if anyone else has some good pictures of their cars with duals, and any diffusers yall might have that’ll work too

Good first moped? | 1982 Honda Express

I have never in my life sat on a moped, and know nothing about them but I like working on cars. Seller says “Hey it was running before I clean/took the carb apart so that just needs adjusting. Could definitely use fresh tires pretty sure these are original.” Is it a bad idea for a starter? Attached some pics of it. I just love the look of them and it sounds so fun restoring a smaller engine/body

Driving experience going from manual to paddles

Hello,

I’m in the market for a new car towards the end of the year, and the m340i has really caught my eye, specifically a 2020 model for the unlocked ECU. I love the styling with the b58 but for the past 5 years I’ve driven manual cars. I’m worried it might not feel as engaging, and I was wanting to hear from people who’ve gone from a manual to a m340i. I’ve heard these paddle shifters are pretty engaging and wanted to hear some opinions before a test drive.

My previous manual cars were a 2012 WRX and 2020 Corolla Hatch.

Looking at getting a new bike, looking used. Mainly just going to be around the neighborhood, going on paved paths, maybe to work as I live close. I found this bike on fb marketplace and it mainly caught my eye for how beautiful it looked, that’s it. I’m wondering if it’s worth $175? I’m sure I can talk him down some too.

Side note I’m 6’2 with slightly shorter legs than average. Also looking for some helmet recommendations :)
