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

[dylan8]

sure you want another 5mm than that? it's already poking!
And i hope your rear suspension is nice and stiff, not much room for travel once you put the tyres on

i plan on putting 10mm front 20mm rear on my standard gti tyres, though i haven't made any measurements, just rough guesses. might be a good idea to do something like that to get a better idea...
i don't want them poking though, having the car visibly illegal in two ways with the one mod isn't the best idea IMO!

15mm is the minimum adapter without paying big $$
yeah have coilovers, stiff is the name of the game haha
id like to rebuild them so i can play with the offset but i just dont have them time.
as long as i dont do something stupid to draw attention i think ill be right...

EDIT: or at worst i get the arches rolled/pulled a little.

Towed a trailer for the first time (using the car, that is)

average fuel was 9.2

not too bad considering the weight

Wicked. Do you just activate them off the lock/unlock or do you have another switch for them?

There is an extra position on the interior door switch.

Has to be manually operated with ignition on (you just can't see my arm in the video).

However they can also be folded after you turn off ignition as long as you haven't opened a door (same as electric windows).

You can rig them to fold when you lock the car but you need to wire them up differently with an Audi mirror relay...and then you cannot fold them manually whenever you want...say if you are driving down a narrow street or something.

I am working on a circuit however so you can do both....it would be quite complicated to rig up

Fuzion...those wheels are stunning.

I have a complete set of RHD folding Stubbies for sale if anyone is interested.

See the For Sale thread.

I kept the original size mirrors because I also wanted to fit the Skoda Superb puddle lights in them...they only fit the full size mirror housings.

Yes, some B5.5 V6 Passats here had the folding mirrors too...the pillar mount is different for the Golf though...

Finally got around to getting JMac to install my Tyrol Sport Brake Stiffening kit that there was the group buy for last year. Haven't really driven yet but if you press the pedal as hard as you can it feels a little firmer.
Cheers,

Yeah definately feel stiffer to me, especially if you really put the foot down...there's been a few times where I've felt the ABS after braking hard, seem to get that a bit more since installing the stiffening kit.

Any ideas on how to do this with the OEM switch?
