    A couple of bits and pieces today.

    New washer bottle.






    And replaced the inner tie rod ends which was much harder than it should have been.

    We stumbled across a new set on eBay, and seeing as how I'd done the outers already and the car's booked in for a wheel alignment on Thursday we thought best to get these in now.

    Old vs new.



    Wheel alignment and exhaust on Thursday then roadworthy and reg.

    Got the wheels aligned today, they were well out after all my changing of stuff up front.

    Then dropped it off at Unique Exhausts to get the pipes fixed up.

    The chap there actually bent the rear pipe from memory of Passats he'd worked on years ago!

    Now it's all 2" from the downpipes back, through a resonator and into a triple flow muffler.

    It's on a 28 day permit as of today, next step is roadworthy, then Reg.

    We gave it a bit of a run down Eastlink after the exhaust was fitted (Toll ways are free to permit holders ) and it's a really nice thing to drive, plenty of get up and go out of the 1600 and a great ride.

    Here's some video we shot on Eastlink. We were checking the speedo accuracy and listening for general rattles and such on the way back from the exhaust place.

    That looks amazing Peter.
    Great job. The US plates suit it.

    Thanks everyone!

    We sort of forgot the US plates were on it. when we were driving around.

    It's on an unregistered permit so I don't suppose it matters. I wonder what the eastlink operators will make of it when they see the photos!

    (We did check about driving under a temp permit on eastlink and we were told it was OK.)
