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

[Gravey]

got my car cut n polished (machine buff), some touch ups and paint protection applied on the weekend....what a difference! The metallic paint really shows up now, in the sunlight it sparkles more than the queens tiara and the reflection is glass-like quality! Very pleased what $150 got me it's hard to stop looking at her now.....just like that stupid ad!

[fuzion]

Your car looks great pierre, one question though: is the front lip an 20th AE item?

yeah, ive had the votex lip, now its the ae.. who knows what next?!

[D3bb4]

i have stuffed it up today... dunno how though

[Manaz]

Paid for my new rotors and pads today, and finalised the braided brake lines.

Once everything arrives, time to get it all (coilovers, suspension bushes, dogbone mount, brakes, wheels) fitted...

[Mr Messy]

Yep, mines due again in a couple of weeks also.

Did mine a few weeks ago. It cost me $330 for two new tyres on my 16" wheels (I was hoping to avoid this, as I'm about to go up to 17" wheels)...

[Yevvy]

same here manaz. got mine coming up next week, started saving up for some 18's but need to get 4 new tyres to pass it

[Treza360]

Hmmm all the MkIVers seem to have their rego due around the same time. I paid mine a fortnight ago. Freaky man...
Cheers,
Trent

Yep, we have a rego test, where they check your cars braking ability, lights and tyre tread, and if they deem any of them crap, they fail you and you have to go change them

i payed insurance today (there goes $1200) and i have rego coming up in about a month, so annoyed that they are only a month apart

In NSW, once a car is more than three years old, it must pass a pre-registration inspection (often referred to as a pink-slip). It's a general road-worthiness certificate where they check the operation and condition of tyres, lights, engine (for leaks), etc, and they also do a braking test where they ensure the brakes are able to produce more than a minimum-level braking force.

You need to pass this inspection, and have your CTP cover sorted out, before you can register the vehicle.
