not much appearance wise has changed at all lately, but i did just get the golf back from European Auto centre in newcastle. after a pretty labour intensive session done on it, the golf now doesnt leak oil! which is great.
a few things a got fixed were:
- rear main seal
- sump leaking
- oil pressure switch leaking and ****ed
- tie rod end
- gear box bushings
booked in on friday for a wheel alignment and it should be running heaps better.
i still want to do all this:
-replace all leads
-new plugs
-get my stockies widened
-install coilovers
-and smoked spottys
but thats all gonna happen after the blueslip
now im gonna go for the blueslip soon but my number plate lights arent working. does someone have a wiring diagram i can get my hands on? the bulbs are fine. they just seem to be getting no power.
cheers.
***edit - found the problem with the number plate. Turned out to be the common problem of the wires getting pinched and chopped in half in the hinge of the door.
pretty happy with this, me and a guy from vwwatercooled did a straight swap. its a manual stock 8 valve, got coils on it already and ive got some 15x8's on their way. this is now the new daily ride
30mm clearance from the mounts. Its rubbing on the front a little cause i haven't rolled them yet. And i just ordered some camber shims for the rear so i can fix the toe and gice it some nice camber to match the front. A bit of mucking around and ill get there
got this a while ago, just a few photo's that i thought were worth sharing,
its better than my last one i feel, has a bit of rust under the window and near the rear passenger door. has a low ratio gear box so its hell fun to drive!
