DYLAN8 01 Bora

[dylan8]

Bleeding was a huge pita due to getting a bit of air at the top of the system.
Bled all corners multiple times, did master a couple. Pedal would be ok with car off, as soon as it started it would go soggy.
Ended up getting Aaron to trigger the abs via vcds. And with the help of Jarreds power bleeder managed to move the air trapped around the abs pump and move it out one of the lines.
Iv done two heat cycles on the new pads and discs, pedal still feels abit soft but it comes to a stop no worries and doesn't make horrid grinding sounds now, did a home alignment just to make it driveable. But a proper alignment and new tyres up front should be nice.

Only other issue was a grinding noise first drive... just a bent dust shield up front.

Was going to take some more pics but brakes are barely visible behind the abt v1.

Thanks to jarred and Aaron for the lend of tools, and woody, jye and Matty d for the assistance

Next on the list is fixing the air ride leaks. 2 of 4 corners leak, and there is a leak in the management side of things

Tucking 17" rim in the rear now, goes lower but beached on tyres.

Rear is meant to be like 2.5deg now, so guessing front is about 1.5-2

You never can help yourself can you haha.

Always interested to see the changes and wheels, its disappointing to see so many new mk6's and so little mk3/mk4's around these days as so much more potential in comparison i think

[dylan8]

We need yours back to lead the way. No one in aus is really spending big dollars on them these days

Alignment done. Had the camber dialed back from 3deg to 2.25deg in the front at ride height, control arms level. Rear is much better too (can't recall what figure)
Think my strut tops are on the way out or not happy about being worn in on a new angle as there is a bit of popping on uneven surfaces, might take the opportunity to get some camber tops

Out and about on the weekend.
Few new sets of wheels currently being built and worked on so keen to get them on.
Couple of new parts in the post.

Couple of snaps from Easter weekend while helping my aunty with her car

Added the second of 4 grills I wish to collect for the bora.
Hopefully this will dial back the amount of chrome up front until I get the next.

Also added coming home/auto headlights
Pretty happy with it so far, will see how it goes

Check this thread out for silencing the annoying buzzer sound when the coming/leaving home lights are activated:

The mod is mentioned down the bottom of the page and continues on page 25.

Hmmm I don't get any noise. Did have a look though that thread. Think mine is a newer design as I didn't have to do any tweaking etc when installing
