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

Disassembled the front bar and removed the front number plate bracket in prepartion for paint tomorrow. Also secured Cupra R lip to undertray... what a mish.

Pffft it's not that hard once you've done it a couple of dozen times.

Cupra lip is easy to install too. Keeping it attached and not destroying it in car parks is another thing (at least the stock lip is kind of flexible).

Cheers,
Trent

Replaced all 5 coils and swapped the panel air filter for a K&N panel filter, the car is so smooth now! The little cough I was getting before seems to have gone.

It is going in tomorrow for a service and to have the ECS stage 2 suspension refresh kit installed.

got my lowest fuel consumption ever this avo, 6.1L/100km from lithgow (blue mountains) to syd... downhill may be cheating though.
so many highway pratrol cars, was probably a good thing i was taking it easy
bells line of road is so nice to drive on while the sun sets, followed by driving through the turf farms above windsor (kurmond rd)
would have been a good little spot to get a photo of the car but no clouds around to make an impressive sunset..

actually noticed a concerning problem with my car on friday... under throttle only at high speeds, seems to be just when i go over 110, the steering wheel vibrates. not violently, but still worryingly... no idea what it is, could be my rep rims maybe...

probably needs a wheel balance

possible, but as it only happens when i'm accelerarting, maybe it's the CV..?

Just checked my emails... my ECS order has finnally been shipped, only took em three weeks!

And no idea why they held up the entire order just for the exhaust because they've actually shipped my order in 4 separate packages. odd

Had my car serviced by Alastair at Bromspec in Brookvale (NSW), it didn't need much done to it in the end, in fact I had supplied the ECS Stage 2 refresh kit and asked him to fit it but he called me and said I would be wasting my money paying him to do it as the parts on the car are perfectly fine! That's what I like, an honest mechanic, he will get my business again. Anyway the car feels great with a new set of plugs and an oil change, coupled with the new coils I put on yesterday it is so smooth now.

Will get the ECS refresh kit put on later this year when I also replace the shocks and get a new set of wheels, then it can all be done at the same time and setup once.

Replaced the rear wiper insert and fuel flap button, and fitted some neat MK6 GTI alloy pedal pads to the missus' MK4 Generation today. Wonder how long before she notices!?

Also have to give it a service and replace the front pads and rotors in the next month or so.
