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

[Manaz]

I was really happy with the price of the wheels, but i ended up spending another $950 on the rubber...

The old tyres were falken semi-slicks which were fully slick in some parts, and down to the canvas in others. The ad did mention that though...

Yeah, I was always going to replace the rubber if I got them. Phoning around today actually to get a good price on some RE001s...

washed the car yesterday. Will be doing a full overhaul on cleaning the paint, re-painting the calipers and giving the guards a good wash over easter. Can't Wait!!!

wow im jealous! Canada and japan would be sweeeet! Im heading to queenstown in the second week of august with some mates for a week of hopefully solid snow and some boozing
really want these rims tho, and then some new springs to 'drop it like its hot' and bring justice to the wide and low sticker i bought from piere

Canada & Japan were amazing - knee-deep dry pow, nothing like the wet stuff you get in Oz. I think The Remarkables already had 20cm dump on the 11th of March! Hopefully it will be a killer season. I'm probably going to Falls now to take my GF to the snow for the first time....it's gonna be painful I think! Will probably drive the Bora over, so at least that will be fun

Now, back OT - those rims will look nice.....black on black is always very slick. Today I got some mats for the Bora after getting sand in her on the weekend.....hopefully these will make cleaning the interior a bit easier! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Volkswagen-Bo...3A1|240%3A1318

Looking at coilovers next but that may take a few months to save for.

Gavin

[thekraut]

[sierra055]

[fuzion]

[dubbed]

Lookin' clean as always Marshall! Now get those springs in!!

[geoff_gti]

All this snow talk!! I booked my tickets last week to Queenstown for 9 days in July with some mates
Consequently I *haven't* done anything to my Golf today. It just had a gearbox overhaul etc, that was enough spending for a while...

[sierra055]

Lookin' clean as always Marshall! Now get those springs in!!

Springs are in mate, just haven't had the chance to grab any more photo's since. Sits nicely now. Big bumps feel a little harsher, but the small bumps fell less harsh... go figure!

[Manaz]

Found my OEM antenna missing today when I got back to the car after work.

Have ordered the stubby replacement from DubAddiction!

[RhysQ]

I'm guessing the springs arrived safe and sound then Marshall..... I didn't hear from you so I guessed the courier didn't do the dodgy me .

Get some pics up soon mate.... I want to see it looow.

Thought I'd chime in
I replaced the window reg on the drivers door last weekend.
Got the Pedder's 28 point inspection yesterday, to see what the occasional clang in my front suspension is. Everything passed fine.
