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

I know what you mean about cost:

In the last few months, I've spent:

* $700 on 2nd hand coilovers
* $550 on a suspension refresh kit from ECS
* $1,000 on brake rotors/pads

Fitting it all is about to cost me another $1,000. And that doesn't include any upgrades (the coilovers are technically an upgrade, but they're cheaper than stock replacement suspension)!

Not today, but yesterday...

There are two things to spot there (aside from the blurriness, phone cameras and low light conditions do not make for crystal clear pics)!

And how did this thread end up on the second page? Stickiness please!

Pulled out the CAI filter on Monday gave it a clean and left it to dry in the garage. Reoiled it and put it all back together tonight. Why is it always easier to pull things out than it is to put it back in (not that it's really that hard, but still).
Cheers,
Trent

We have a winner!

The prize is that we all know you're sharp-eyed.

DTE was simple - a bit of VAG Tacho work and it appeared straight away. The always on lights (needles and LCD displays) didn't seem to take when the work was done, and I thought perhaps it wasn't an IMMO3 dash that I had (as the change only works with IMMO3 apparently) - but when I got to the car this evening, there it was, straight away! I was stoked!

That looks awesome! so needles and lcd always on, is that as soon as the key goes in? or once past accessories or what?

Just gave my car a good clean inside and out. tyre blackened the wheels, then hand wiped the rims and in the spokes to get rid of excess spray. its currently 5oC outside according to my car... fingers are now a little numb. but wheels are so shiny they might as well be chrome, so well worth it.
