    Another quick update (yeesh, I'm whoring my own thread)...

    My fuel economy from last week's fill:


    If you guys have iPhones you should check out AccuFuel. I've been using it on my Skyline, and averging about 13.5L/100km... and as much as I love ripping a hole in the ozone as I drive around, logging the numbers for the Golf has me all excited about fuel economy. It's a sad state of affairs, really.

    Cheers! The ticket price was $7000 originally but I managed to negotiate a fair bit off.
    Thats insanely cheap. Good score!

    Looking at the photos, doesn't look like it has the multi-function display, no buttons on the right stalk.

    This. I don't have an MFD (at least not one that I know of). Actually... can you retrofit one?

    quick update:

    ordered a full R32 ABS bodykit, and it just arrived...




    dropped it off at the shop to have the notch on the front and the exhaust holes and vents on the rear plastic welded and filled in for that baby smooth look.

    waiting on Speedtech metal hood extension and Fk badgeless grille so I can hit it all up with paint in one go.

    time to get this party started.

    guess I forgot to update this thread a few months ago about wheels.

    got a set of Work Meister S1's delivered from japan in 5x100 PCD:

    except the boys back in our tokyo office decided it'd be hilaaaarious to put them in Work Emotion boxes which were 5x114.3 PCD in fail offset. You can imagine how much I was cursing when I saw what the courier rocked up with.

    Tazzy, not sure if they are Votex OEM (cos I'm not sure what those are), they're from a bunch in the UK, I'll see if I can dig up the URL for you. AFAIK it's polyurethane, but not OEM.
