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

[Lito]

Was too impatient to get any better shots.

after doing the dogbone bushes and I almost shook my teeth out I've put the stock top mount (small one) in with the new one, still shaking like mad but not as bad as the total replacement, I have noticed my tail pipes have sucked under the car alot so maybe the old mount had let the engine tilt heaps or I have another issue, any help would be good guys.

edit: I've just changed it again, new top mount (small bush) and stock bottom mount, it's not as bad as before just a little worse than stock, so will test it on the road tomorrow.

Bout time Sydney weather got good had the chance to give it a good wash


Sent from my iPhone using my fingers.

Keen on going with some more aggressive wheels now. I'm looking at some 17inch 8.5 inch wide with a +31 offset impul wheels. Can get a really good price, I think the rears should sit pretty nice - although unsure about the fronts. From my visual comparisons to my current wheels the fronts will poke out too much. Anyone run a similar wheel? Need some help here, thanks

will be no worries.
My LMs, dials, and flat5s are all 8.5et30 with a 215 wide tyre.
Add a 5mm spacer in the rear and ull be sweet

Dropped the golf off to jmacs to get the new turbo put in, yay!

[Njay]

like to see how it compares to stage 1, mines 15 days away from installation

[WhO]

Put in Coilovers the other day. Haven't really lowered it any more (past the height of the R32 suspension) as the front control arms were already slightly past parallel, but handling and grip has increased markedly. Braking too has improved tremendously and feels more balanced

[audi-tone]

do you know what hardness the Apr ones are? these ones are 65a hardness

Hey. I thought it was around the 85a mark. They're not soft that's for sure! I couldn't bend them at all iirc.


Also - Lito, which tune are you running with the frankenturbo??

[djorkboy]

Had my regular bi-monthly scare with my Bora late last week when it started running like a sick diesel and ticking like a bomb about to go off. Changed the oil (found a place that still has some Castrol edge Sport in stock instead of the crap new Edge Titanium) and it was still running really bad so I took it down to CVWC for them to take a look and by the time I got there it was running smoother than it has in months, they did a VCDS scan and the only error they could find was a lambda sensor.

The general consensus seemed to be that it might have had a blockage in the oil pickup that caused a low oil pressure even though it had plenty of oil (it actually had too much oil) but whatever it was seems to be gone now that the oil has been changed and it has been driven a bit.

Great guys down at CVWC, they know these cars really well. Only problem is they are always booked out a month in advance. I guess that is an indication of how good these guys are (and how many VWs there are in Canberra, seriously they are everywhere, Golf GTIs are like Commodores down here)
