Will I be commuting, cruising or tracking today?
The TD wheels weigh about a kilogram less than the OEM ones - I had thought the difference may have been larger.
I got my Passat light switch and LED park lights this week... Due to me having fat hands and stubby fingers, I ended up partially removing the front bar and headlights to get the bloody things in!! Going to be fitting the light switch today hopefully.

New grille badge from Oriental Parts for $20.00 shipped. Quality is not great but OK for $20.00. It did require some simple plastic removal at the rear (as marked in photo below) to lock into the factory hole. Based on the quality of the badge I would be very wary of any non genuine parts sold by Oriental Parts.
So much for the mechanic pinging me $80 for a pollen filter and $60 for a fuel filter... $37 and 20 mins later and I managed to get both done without incident.

Washed and detailed the car for today's Wheels car show here in Canberra. Also fitted my Passat light switch which works very well.

maybe im just a bit conservative or old school, or whatever, but I. LOVE. TYRE. SIDEWALL. lookin good, greg!!!
p.s. being a sunday, i didnt know if anything was on, but next time you're at the track, let me know so i can bring the spacers (as well as watch/ help out) - im seriously thinking about taking the 11mm spacers off the back of my car, so you may be able to play with those, too.
Dropped it off to get the steering rack fixed and hopefully not entirely replaced.
I have a feeling this may hurt.

Did a nice spirited run along yarra boulevarde and as i was pulling onto Studley park drive I noticed I had quite a harsh noise coming from my front left brake rotor...turned out to be a tiny stone that was caught between the rotor and the pad...I'll give it a proper once over tomorrow morning but I'm confident it hasn't done too much damage (probably only 10 rotations max whilst the little fcuker was in there).
I'm pretty stumped as to how it could have happened really
