Are swaybar link rods just swaybar links? If so I have four standard C shape (rear) links spare. Where are you located?

[slydog]

Fitted new coils and windscreen just need paint job finished and back up for retune!

[Codex]

Finally got a change to install the aluminium surrounds

Took about 30 minutes o-o spent more time cleaning the inside than actually installing lol

Got too dark to get a good last photo

Really like how it turned out

[Fastfour]

Reinstalled rebuilt gearbox into the racecar only to find that it won\'t go into reverse. Fuck!!

[Jimbob]

replaced acc belt on toyota with shorter one and left out the a/c as pump is shagged so so now its quiet with no grinding noise

[Drunkenmonkey]

Got new rubber

Removed front brembo brake calipers today due to a loud scary noises after being rebuilt, remove brake pads and checked pistons for movement, some pistons are seized , now i know why its was so freckn loud and chewing up my endless brake pads and dds rotors, not happy chappy :-[

[les666]

Just gave it a wash... only the outside though as I will probably take the dogs out later. Need to take it for a spin as I replaced the rocker cover gaskets last night and need to burn off the little bit of oil that dripped onto the exhaust manifold.

Nitto Invo ?

[newsuba]

Nice, I have NT05\'s on the Golf.

A much under-rated brand in NZ.

[chappell943]

Fitted my 3 port solenoid, calibrated my wideband and then started re-tuning the car with my tuner. I must say 19psi in First gear is flippin awesome!

You plan on going backwards on the track!? ;D

[Fastfour]

Getting it out of the garage is an issue. You don\'t realise how much you use reverse till is not an option

Yep have checked that. It\'s gonna be a box pull apart job. Bring on Wings and Wheels in March and then Taupo Winter Series!!

Put it up on stands to change the clutch... couldn\'t close the garage door because the car was back too far!

Decided to take the bumper off to make room... plus I need to fix a leak under it... removing the bumper

required removing the tow bar, which in turn required removing the exhaust. So in all, took over an hour.

At least I discovered the rear bumper has clearly never been off, hence never been in a rear end crash

[Joker]

haha \'just\' to do a clutch

is this going to be one of those half hour jobs that turns into a 6 year build???

haha, clutch change in half an hour

No, just changing the clutch... and if I have time, do some grinding on the rear struts for some camber...

and maybe start stripping out the sound deadening... will resist taking rear diff out and re shimming...

I\'m committed to doing the Alexandra Rd hillclimb in March, so no bothering around.
