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

[dylan8]

both CVs replaced on the passenger side thanks for Dean at Volkwerke!
was meant to just be the outer but on removal found both inners were on the way too.

will get onto the drivers inner in the new years as it wasnt loosing any grease yet.

A cheeky little tip: Deflate the tyre and call RACQ. I did this some many years ago when I had a stripped nut.

Slightly dodgy, but a good idea nonetheless

Looks super convenient Anthony - love those wheels!

Finally got some new tyres on the ABT rims I bought last year ... Had a hairy moment on Greenhill road when one wheel decided to become loose - of course I'd taken my tools out when I was cleaning the boot area to transport my old rims so had to leave Rolf down a side-street catch a train home, pick up my tools - you get the idea ... Brakes this weekend even if it is 42 degrees.

collected a yellow sticker over the weekend
only to have it blow off #racebora, so then had to go ask highway patrol for another so I was allowed to drive the car for the next week

Cheers Dylan - photos don't do them justice yet (or my photos at least!)

Argh! That sucks - what was it for?

I spent Sunday afternoon attempting an upgrade to GTI brakes only to find that my CV joints were knackered - fortunately I hadn't been able to remove the drive shaft from the old hub (even with a gear puller and dozens of whacks with a mini-sledge) so was not at the point of no-return - put it all back together for another week. On the positive side, I got to bleed the brake system and my rear brakes are working well from when I replaced them before Christmas ...
