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

With much batting of eyelids and pretty much doing everything she wants, I extorted my gift early. Dieselgeek short shifter is installed.

WOW! Words can't describe the improvement in feel, the lovely "click click" of every shift. 2nd to 3rd becomes a special bonding moment with your car (3rd back to 2nd takes some getting used to though). If, like me, you can't quite sprig the grand or so for a chip just yet, this has got to be one of the better mods around. Really easy to fit too, just take your time and follow the excellent instructions.

Dieselgeek claim a 30% reduction. Feels more like 90!

Price delivered by Fedex was A$260.

Well went over to MrJLT's to Drink beers n bull**** in the man office and ended up fitting new strut top bearings ,fitting new slotted n dimpled rotors on the front and fitting an ATP exhaust manifold .... not to mention fixing all the little "issues" along the way ( Presidential solution applied numerous times ;p ) Couldn't get over the difference between the stock manifold and the ATP..........Although one of the more "fiddly" operations performed on the golf as removing the stock item was tricky and the extra size of the new one made it twice as fun putting the car back together so after numerous beers,monsters and a 4am finish I would be in a hurry to do it again..

I threw on some plates I found in the Po Box the other day.

Nice. Wonder what they'll charge me for a shifter and lower guard plate!. Best go check out their site.

I reckon the plate would add a bit in shipping. Pretty big bit of kit that.

I installed my APR turbo inlet pipe with help of a mate today. To say it was a royal pain in the *** would be an understatement but we eventually got it in there. I have to say I am very impressed with the amount of extra top end it gives you, makes the engine alot smoother as well and the turbo spool much quicker and louder. It's quite surprising to see how restrictive the stock one actually is.

Just did quick online quote. 650ish shipped for plate and shifter !!

Fixed the damage some wanker left for me while parked

New tail lights and aerial are in/on.
US spec taillights dont come with fog lights... so had to chop them up a little to make it work.
sunday night thought id make sure all the lights are still working, turns out i have lost BOTH tail lights...

Exhaust is sounding even worse, so need to get that checked

[WhO]

Installed the FMIC onto the bora nice and stealthy, now to figure out piping...going to be interesting!

[balkanac]

My new rotors and EBC redstuff pads just arrived from US!! Cant wait to get home to install them!!

[audi-tone]

Installed my yarrowsport rear brace. Makes a big difference. Compliments all the other mods that are already on the car. Looks awesome too.

[balkanac]

my rotors and pads are now installed. Just breaking them in for now, but they already feel 10x better than mintex pads and worn out rotors

[Big_M]

Got my Tyrolsport brake stiffening kit in the mail. just got to dig my new disks and pads out my lock up then on they'll go. Looking fwd to having so nice new brakes on there.
What procedure you using for braking in you disks and pads ?

[balkanac]

I dont brake hard for the first 300-400km and after that, find a nice quiet 100km zoned back street, get the car up to 100km/h and brake as hard as possible without locking the wheels or ABS kicking in and dont come to a full stop. Drive for another km or so, so they cool down and do it again. 3-4 times like this should brake them in nicely. They will be smoking and stinking after this but thats normal
