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

[saMfish]

I'm not really sure tbh, I could only guess that because it's all brand new the spring in the actuator must've needed time to 'wear in'. I don't think the nuts on the rod moved because they were still tight together. I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it...

Btw, your car looks mint! love the wheels, I think that a set of gti tail lights would go really well with that colour combination.

Ah okay, I didn't realise it was all brand new. I've heard of that happening once before. Just check it every now and then, though I guess you'd feel the difference if it dropped back again hahah. Thanks!!

interested to see how you find the front sway and end links.
keep us updated.

have to do my 312 swap too

Because I did everything together I can't really comment on how the bar would be as a stand alone mod. But I can say that the steering input is precise and the steering input can be changed halfway through a corner without the car raising a sweat.
The car has so much grip on all corners, even in the wet. No understeer or oversteer, very neutral.

You'll love the 312 swap
What pads are you going to use?

[dylan8]

i found it a backwards step, but i only installed a front bar.

dunno, i have a full standard setup off a 4mo with stock/really good pads and disks so not sure if ill worry about changing

There was that one for sale for about $1500 that had side damage. Didn't the oil pressure sensor make a noise? What's actually damaged?

I made do with a fat head screw driver hex bit that cam from a security set. Seemed to do the trick. As for the wrench i used a spark plug socket that had a hex outside. And then i had to make one with a 3/4 drive socket and grinded the ends down.

yeah i feel kind of stupid about it but the oil sensor did come on every once in a while but it would just go away straight away played it off as just a bad sensor as it was never concistent , although on the night i dont recall it comming up , not shore havent had the proper chance to look as the car isnt even home yet , theres a knock from the bottom end definately im shore of that :/

Starting my Boser Bonnet tomorrow...

[audi-tone]

Ordered Audi tt caliper carriers along with dba 4000 rotors. Can't wait to get them on.
On a side note - every time I back out of my driveway I get a rubbing sound (doesn't feel like metal grinding either) from the front right hand side and I can't work out what it could be?!? Anyone come across this? I'm lowered on kw v1, 225x40x18 tyres +25 offset. I also get some rubbage on full lock. I've checked if the tyres hit the inner guard but can't see anywhere it does. Hmm
