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

[dylan8]

That link appears broken in my browser for some reason so I can only guess what these new wheels are ... Did you sell the flat fives, the porsche or the BBS? So many good wheel combos ...


Last night I fell victim to the dreaded window regulator clips snapping and the passenger side window plummeting into the door with a resounding crash - man that is a way to freak anyone who happens to be a passenger at the time right out!

Not sure if I need the whole assembly since the window is now stuck down and kind of rattling around, or whether new clips and some ingenuity will fix the problem. It looks like a reasonably complicated fix if Vortex is anything to go by ...

shall try again...
no all the rest are here still. im keeping the teledails and building them wider, havnt seen any cash for the flat5s yet so they are still sitting here, same with the LMs but they dont worry me as im going to run the 15mm adapter in the back to make them a bit more daily friendly for a bit.

you might have to pull the door card off and see whats actually broken. might just be the clips, but the guides or line for the window reg itself could have gone also...

Fixed passenger window - turned out to be the clips ... unfortunately the replacement clips in the regulator repair kit are the same design as the oldies so I'm considering ordering the metal ones off ebay for peace of mind.



Also fitted a three spoke steering wheel in place of my old four-spoker.

no alphards yet

Didn't you say you were cutting back on the wheels?! Nonetheless I'm looking forward to the reveal ...

more pics of four spoke?? thought the basic 3 spoke was standard across the lower end of the mk4s...?

ha, alpahrds would be sick. these have been in the pipe line for a long time. now im questioning the tyre size and adapter size compared to what i was originally thinking after mounting them up.
do think i could pull off tucking this style of wheel though for ultimate daily win.
here is 18x9et26 on my wonky drivers arch (always makes wheels poke more then the passenger side)

Do they tuck more than that when on or are you borderline legal? Going to look PHAT either way ...

Not sure re. wheel - I got a four spoker standard ... (Would be good if it had cruise control and radio controls like the Euro ones, but it is just a basic model)

Dylan I think they look awesome like that!!

And also the bora's, GTI's, cabby's and R32 (slightly different) all got the 3 spoke steering wheels and the lower spec golfs didn't I believe

That sounds about right. Mine is a 2.0 - it might have been an option that I couldn't justify at the time.

Just ordered some gummi pflege from eBay uk.

Installed a powered USB plug in the dash cubby hole for charging phones. Should solve the problem of powering the kids DVD while needing the phone charged.

Ordered a new power window master switch, drivers switch has a broken loose.
Clutch master cylinder to be done soon too.

You might want to check what the alternator is doing - seems like a short life-span.

Can beat that by about 2months. Good thing warrenty was 24months hopefully she will start after being left more than 4 hours :S

they were meant to be daily spec so they will be going back in 5mm more then that most likely... but ill see.
ahhh ok. find it wierd the base model bora has so much difference to the base model golf even though they are basically the same thing

Do they tuck more than that when on or are you borderline legal? Going to look PHAT either way ...

boarder line height? the back of my car clears 100mm or is VERY close im pretty sure, but nar, that has the weight on it plus the extra deg of camber i run so thats how they would sit with tyres.

FINALLY rolled the front arches. thanks for stu, josh and ryan.
what was left of my front arch liners has now been removed.
the passengers side finally got to release the 12 years of rubbish!

Was going to lower it more all round now that im not rubbing but cant due to the drivers drive shaft being in the way, and my tie rods need flipping if i go any more


rolling.



18x9 up front. only need a bit more low to tuck on stock guards (no pulling, just rolling)

Leak tested the golf after a random event ?????? Gave the car a boot full and "felt" like a boost pipe came off (loud woosh and poor idle) pulled over and did a quick check of pipes and nothing seemed out of place so pulled the maf n drove home with the turbo sounding louder than normal (spooling /rush of air sound) .Had a beer and some nuts then decided to take a look and still couldnt find anything although pulled the diverter valve off n gave it a check ,cleared codes n plugged maf back in and issue gone. . .
