Thanks for this idea mountainbikemike - i did the same thing on my polo.

I had big problems trying to see out my tint at night and constantly hit my back tyre on gutters.

I dont anymore!!

Good stuff. I find I'm rotating the mirror up and down a couple times a day. I hope the motors are built for that

Me, too. They're still operating 100% so far!

Almost a year on, thought I'd run an update. Been too bloody busy with work obviously. The last time I updated this thread I had just started my bike repair business. It has taken off massively and I've been fighting for time to give the car some love. Most of what I do with it is drive, and make small changes to where and how I store gear. Been getting to a lot of events, and a lot of clients, but I have made a couple of small mods.

I'll show you some interesting shots of what I do, some cool photos I took, and a bit around/inside the car.

If you want to see more of whats going on in the business the URL has changed, here it is: www.therapidwrench.melbourne

Firstly, I got a nice badge-less grill from Mysticality. Nice one thanks mate.





You'll by now also notice the fresh graphics! They got done last January!

Lets go inside. I made a custom fitted shelf to hold parts. The lowers of the seats are gone.



Another mod, heres a place to keep about 50 chains in the rear right corner. From the outside its completely blacked out, and theres a LED light on the inside. JDM panel fittings ftw.



In the back. Notice I used the little holder thing on the right to hold one of my bigger bike tools. Handy. The toolbox only just fits in, I had to kick it with a lot of force then bolt it in. The sub is still in the spare tire and well fark, that **** will take ages to get out if I ever need it. Theres plenty of gear in between that and the seat backs.



The Bi-folding table goes on top, again attached with JDN panel fittings and hooks installed to the tool box. It covers everything from eyes when parked.



Carrying lots of ****, some camp gear and some event stands. Even got a custom made promo bike!

Geez Mike, maybe you're ready for a work car (as well)? Something a bit more van like? Yeti? Transporter?

Sadly at June this year my old motor died. I'm told that the E-Tuners tune I had on there was running like ****, and it killed it. I'm thinking also about the blue smoke that had come from the exhaust for ages had something to do with it, and it was there way before that tune as well.

Erk - what exactly failed in the engine?

It's always a worry having blue coming out of a turbo - easy to kill the turbo blades

My Octavia has an APR tune and does blow blue
-after long periods of constant low throttle
-after going down a hill with a closed throttle
When I open the throttle after these events I get a healthy display of blue
My Octavia has always swallowed a lot of oil every month, at least 1.5 litres

The blue and oil consumption has been completely solved by adding 250ml of Liqui Molly Visco Stabil Plus
