Last week, the GLI finally hit the big one, 60k miles! it took me 2 years and 3 months to get there, from when i bought her with 23k miles in the summer of 2014. it also marks 5,000 miles with all the modifications on the car.

Overall, the car is still awesome. it is still very comfortable for my now 25 mile round trip commute to school, and it makes the power with it’s new turbo safely and reliably. the only gripe i have is it has an intermittent high rpm missfire at full throttle that I’ve yet to figure out, but that doesn’t really affect daily usability, so therefore it’s fine.

Honestly, i never thought I’d have it for this long in the first place, i was going to sell ot and get an E90 335i or E46 M3, but I’m kind of glad i didn’t. it’s a great car.

I’m treating it to a set of LED headlights, and maybe even some new coilovers for this milestone!

Possibly running lean at high rpm?

Don’t think so. if anything it’s rich. did a data log, and it dumps gas into the engine right as it starts missing

Do you have anything that allows you to adjust the map? Maybe set it up a bit leaner on the top end?

I regret not trying harder to get the fiance to buy a GS350 when she was looking for a new car. The things I could have done to it... Oh well. She loves her RX350 and how much she can fit in it when travelling between home and college.

Not me personally since it’s an off the shelf tune, but my tuner can easily do that. we’re doing it Tuesday actually
