What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[Silver dub]

Just finished cleaning up the last 2 or my 17's, YAY Finally.

They look a 1000 times better now, should really sparkle on the car now.

Now time to take off the 19's and put the 17's back on ready to sell it.

tried installing a smaller capacitor on my new south spectrum boost guage, once again, just like the capacitor supplied, it stops the dimmer from working so you're stuck with the bright dash lights. so removed it and am now back to just the red needle illuminating on the guage with no backlight.
and i broke two of the damn clips taking the dash off, but was able to glue one back on with some 2 part expoxy...
so not a very productive day.

Pancake pipe fitted! I know there is some debate on the innerwebs as to if it's worth the bother. The car def seems to pick up better on my quick test run. Will see longer term.

Just waiting on my downpipe coming and I might need to remap

Last week I blew the right rear parker globe. While taking the cluster apart (damn it's fiddly!) managed to short it out across the back of the boot light in the carpet liner & killed all the interior lights haha Remote lock and windows went a bit weird too. Quick trip to the servo with a mate for a fuse and a new globe the day after. Then the left one cut out a few days later but just a loose connection that time!

Thrashed the hell out of it at a skid pan. Something was not right, found my front tyres were on backward. The fool that did wheel alignment did not check rotation arrow. Tyres work a lot better the correct way around.

How long have they been around the wrong way??

Gave the interior a quick clean. found the passenger seat spring has also fallen out along with the little tab.

Since Tuesday, about 300km, + a few ABS stops from 70 & 80km as part of the skid pan day, then 10 sideways laps of the pan.
I noticed a vibration on the highway after about 150km I should have taken this more seriously and had a good look. It was not until I tried to find the source of a weird sound that I saw the rotation arrow the wrong way around.

Oh forget that spring, it wont go back in. You may now find it difficult to move the seat forward and back.

So who mounted the tyres? imagine you had a crash and it was the tyres at fault. im sure insurance wouldnt like that
yeah i know, mines ok forwards and back, but up and down not so nice. just have to take my weight off it abit.

took a driveway a little too enthusiastically and punished a strut mount... hmm lucky the group buy is on!

no, surely the gearbox goes thru a combination of cog-swapping punishment, low lubrication, bad oils, and no doubt a little bit of manufacture defect or metal fatigue?

Had my aircon regassed, now have chilly air and not just vaguely cool air! Thankfully a regas appears to have been enough, there was a chance the compressor might need replacing.

Just in time for winter.

Heh tell me about it. When i brought my bora the aircon was stuffed on it. The dealer fixed it for us free of charge. Brand new compressor condensor and regass. Most awesome thing ever
