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

I did a temporary job on Anthony's Polo with a brass fitting like that from Bunnings. I got the nut to and when bolted up tight it squished the pipe down a touch. With a fibre washer either side it wouldn't leak.

I also crimped the threads, to make it lock the nut, but you could drop some thread lock on it.

Gave it a wash and a wax. Found some paint defects from the panel shop I've never had any issues with these guys previously (about 5 times), guess it will have to go back. I pray they fix it without fuss.

Sorry, should have clarified, those pics are not of mine, they are of a DIY on vortex, where he drilled the hole himself, sourced a brass plug/nipple, and then JB Welded it in.

Mine is totally blank tube where I need to somehow make something to attach to the n75 thin hose, like he has.

Gavin, I'll have a look at bunnings tomorrow to see what they've got..

Fitted my us centre console the other day, also mounted and hid my petrol cap release button was very tricky!

Finally got my alignment, steering wheel straightened, and camber dialed in up front.
Only went 1deg at this stage
Omg the car is like new, even with the bushes replaced with rosejoints and dropping back a profile. Even kirst agrees it rides better.
Now to get the cvs replaced, new dog bones and replace the warpped rotors.

Nice one mate!

I might have to get some advice from you on how to make my ride less harsh in the rear, whilst keeping the same ride height, not going any higher. Maybe my rear coilover springs are too stiff/short? Also on the lookout for some 15-20mm 5x100 spacers for my rear wheels!


In other news, I put a claim in to Shannons insurance yesterday for my car park ding/s and am going out to the smash repairs guys to get a quote for the insured work and the extras I want touched up.. see how I go..

Finally some Intercooler progress.. Found an aluminium attachment at Earls Performance for $22, then found a guy who aluminium welded it and drilled it for only $30! If it doesn't rain again tomorrow I can install the whole Intercooler. Finally.

PS- The black screw-on attachment is anodized aluminium, not plastic!
