Serviced my Black V5 Bora:

Changed oil, oil filter, fitted ECS magnetic sump plug, removed airbox and fitted pod filter (yes illegal, but sounds cool, uleh), changed out the red powersteering fluid that previous owner had fitted (should not be used, eats away at seals) checked subframe bolts were tight and refitted secondary water pump that previous owner had deleted (still need to wire in a new plug for this to suit)

Car has done nearly 205,000kms and has noisy timing chains. I think I might start planning to swap a 20v V5 in

I reread that and it sort of sounds like I was relating the flapper mod to camber plates lol. Not the case at all, just that my passenger strut bush is gone, and dont really want to replace with a stock item if its going to fail after a few months. Hence the camber plates lol.

not sure if I should sell my 5x100 BBS RS or not
money is good, but bbs rs are also gooder (taken from black books )

Haven't been on much lately, here's a summary of my past month haha
Snow Foam goodness

Bought a DAS6 Pro from Car Care Products, simply put, amazing product!

trialed it on mums mazda which was covered in swirls, also got rid of all the small scratches on my golf but not worth putting up pics, see results on mazda

Got my windows tinted to darkest legal with Tint A Car, had a $100 off special, not as dark as I was hoping, will have to get a better picture soon of side windows properly, but still looks better than standard

Think those seats are clean? I did, but I'm a bit perfectionist and clean seats periodically, got a steam cleaning unit this time

and this is the colour of the water.....


Nothing performance based, saving up for my turbo back exhaust. Also please excuse 4WD mode, raised the coils so I can put chains on through snow season haha
Cheers

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

In the process of getting a RWC to clear a defect atm. Vic roads approved of the coilovers and camber tops but I still need to change one strut top bearing and according to the roadworthy guy, my "front right suspension is bent", he doesn't know which part of the suspension........but it's bent he says.

Here's what it looks like at the moment. Thanks to Matt for lending me the wheels and Dyl and Stu for helping out with stuff aswell

^^ wow it doesn't look like your car at all. I'm glad I kept my stockies in case I run into the same situation.

Yes i tried to during the week to move the gti wreck :/

I installed the Bilstein shocks and Neuspeed spring I bought from Lito a few weeks back. (Fronts today, rears tomorrow)
Got a quote for around $600 to have them installed, screw that. It was heaps easier than I had expected.

It is a fair bit lower than the Eibach springs I had.
190,000 km on stock shocks and 160,000 with the Eibachs springs.
The stock shocks were stuffed, when I push them down by hand they stay down.

The ride has been transformed, speed bumps are now a non event.
Have to get an alignment this week then will have a proper throw into some corners.
