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

[Bernoulli]

Looks great mate!

Those xenons are to die for...

[geoff_gti]

Haven't been too active on here the past few months!! Busy with work etc

Ticked over 140,000km on the weekend just gone! Needs a few bits n pieces done but still going well

[Lito]

New tires

[geoff_gti]

wish I was the iLLest

I thought you were the Dylest???

[geoff_gti]

New tires

Yeh I need new tyres too, and some paintwork and new pads, and mounts. Been driving around on the spare for a few weeks now if not longer *sigh* WA German Car Day this coming weekend. Might get time to give it a wash at least...

[geoff_gti]

Test fitted my kit for some motivation today

It is wrong the kit does something for me even in the grey on your black?

Agreed!! Nice contrast without it being too obvious!

[geoff_gti]

just found this and think it could be it!

Found the problem to my sloppy shifter today been driving it like this for a month now =/

[dylan8]

Abt back on. Sigh... that fear of driving it fitted up atm is killing me. Need the Vento rego'd so I can just get the bora out when I wish

[Duke999R]

Replaced engine belts, tensioners, waterpump, thermostat and cyl. head coolant flange this past weekend. Glad that's over.

I noticed that the rear bush in the contol arm on the drivers side is torn up. Is this a common problem on lowered fwd MKIV's? I'd replaced them around 12,000km ago, when I fitted the coilies.

[dylan8]

Did you replace with stock or something upgraded like r32? While the stock are soft and weak, wouldn't expect it to give up that soon.
I did like 170-180,000km on mine both stock and coils and only one looked shabby in the end

[Duke999R]

Replaced with stock, it's completely stuffed. It was quite a shock to see it like that.

Are the R32 jobs much better than stock? Or maybe urethane?

[dylan8]

I went from stock to rose joints so can't comment sorry.
Going by how much abuse my r32 tops have put up with compared to stock though I'd say the solid material is much better.
I believe the control arm rear Bush is the same. Open for stock/lower cars, solid for r32/tt, but using the same material for oem feel
