hey! Thanks! I've never seen that golf before. Those headlights looked one of a kind, and nice grille detailing.
Who was that going crazy in the back seat? Were they trying to get my attention? lol

I was off to work.

Yeh its my gf brothers car, i joey modded the headlights and his old man had electrical tape and used ut on the grille like a true gti ha.. yeh that was me lol

Not much happening, here's some fresh shots.

lookin good, why did you sell the mk4 wheels? are you going to get some other ones?

[stefcio007]

Thanks. One of my BBSess got refurbed because of insurance and then I got a puncture in the mk4 wheels so they were out and decided to cut my losses.

Maybe new wheels some day, but the BBS looks awesome after being refurbed.

Quick refurb of the roof racks and installed them!
Pretty happy.

Good to hear, Glad someone will be actually using them.

Haven't found any exhaust tips that I like yet, or ones that don't cost as much as a new exhaust.

Had the oil pressure switch replaced, thermostat, thermostat housing and crack pipe.

Currently looking to source some new leads. ECS looks to be the way to go. Will probably get trans filter and seal while I'm at it.

Has anyone replaced the top strut mounts? How hard was it and which ones should I get from ECS?

[stefcio007]

Things shipping from ECS...

Have 3rd year project this semester so I will be super busy...

Did you just do an order, or are about to? I'm about to do one and would be keen to split shipping if it's cheaper?

Order is literally already in the air, sorry man.
Maybe we should announce ordering in the random thread, that way we could all save on shipping costs? There is quite the catalogue on ECS.

I'm looking for some parts on ECS so give us a shout if you guys are gonna do a buy like that, cheers

No worries, worth an ask!

I'm not sure if you would end up saving much though if I then had to ship it to Brisbane though haha. My car is only around the corner from Stefcio's suburb
