Which coilovers do you have? I've got R32 suspension at present, but am considering moving to KWv1 coilovers. There's a very good deal available on vwgolf.net.au on them.

How much were you paying for the R32 suspension?

Woops, missed a few replies here - sorry guys.

They were FK Streetlines. Now sold.

I had Bilstein B8's put in with my old Eibach springs. SO NICE! The car is a little more Landcruiser-like now, I admit, but it rides and handles beautifully.

Even at the Landcruiser height, I hit (and ultimately ripped off) my front valance on the concrete stopper things at the end of a car spot at Bunnings on the weekend. It was already in exceptionally average condition, stunned that it is still in one piece. Might have to find a replacement.

K&N panel filter in the stock airbox is going well. Super quiet, no real difference in fuel economy though. In two minds about what to do, I'll probably opt for a proper CAI at some stage, but I'm in no hurry.

What I'd really like is to find an R32 exhaust at some stage...

Was at the Skylines Australia Nationals the other day at Wakefield and I've got the track bug again, so I think I'll get some semi's for my TT rims and get the car onto the track, although, that might lead to more suspension and Haldex changes.

Beware the Dubhound.

Also, finally got a new side strip



Which, with gentle persuassion, becomes



Almost 3 years I've had my Bora and that bloody missing strip on LHR door is *finally* going to get fixed.

Also bought some leather donut headrests for the rear seats. Pics when they arrive.

How much did the roof racks and the 3xheadrests set you back? Im guessing from the stealership?

[PranK]

Racks were from that man 2 posts up ^

Headrests, I almost dont want to tell you. I looked for so long and have had varying degrees of success, but this wrecker in Vic had them and sold them, posted, for $150! I didn't wait to reply to him, just said yes, they're mine.

The side strip was from a wrecker on eBay for $70 delivered. I don't know, but things seem a lot cheaper this year.
