Having hit 133,000km and noticing the timing belt change interval is 120,000km/4 years, I bit the bullet and did it last night. Around 5 hours to change the belt, tensioner, pulleys and water pump. The use of a 4 post hoist also made things much easier. Hardest part of the job was removing the...

As most of you know, I went to Japan for a couple of weeks and had a bit of a holiday/business jaunt. Started off in Tokyo, then Osaka, day trips to Kyoto and Kobe before spending a week out in Western Japan with a mate of mine. Did lots of shopping and bought a PS3 Ceramic White unit with...

I finally got around to fitting the Fujitsubo Zega exhaust system on Sunday and took some pics on the crappy camera phone. The install took around 40mins with removing the rubber hangers from the stock exhaust the hardest part. A bit of lubricant and screwdriver fixed it. First impressions were...

Bridgestone have just released a brand new Ultra High Performance Street tyre that replaces the renown RE-01R as the top of range Potenza in Japan. The tyre is an asymetrical design with what seems to be an asymetrical body shape to cater for extreme cornering. Here's a translated version...

Here are pics of the DBA 4000 series rotors and Hawk Ceramic pads fitted. Fitment took approximately 20mins a side. The only special tool needed was a torx bit to remove and refit the rotor retaining bolt that secures it to the hub while the wheel is off. The Hawk pads come with pad wear...

This is what happens when mrs gmc backs out of the car spot next to her usual one at work without looking behind her. A bit of lock while watching the front left corner and crash!! Time for a set of Hella silver/black LED tail lights and a parktronic rear bar. I'm glad that she wasn't hurt...

After much anticipation, Fatty Boomba and myself met up for a quick run through the National Park last night. The aim was to firstly find/set the optimal damping rates, become familiar with the new suspension and compare it with the std GTI. It was a very windy night with lots of leaves on the...

Time for the Tein -vs- Premium GTG soon... :) Awesome looking quality. I was very surprised to see that the rear shocks are also inverted, lowering the unsprung weight of the suspension as a result.

I wonder what the story is... wasn't there one that caught fire in Sydney not too long ago? It was all over the TV news in Japan.

Fujitsubo exhaust systems for the MKV GTI sold under their Zega brand for european cars. I'm hanging to see what the full titanium version is going to be... :biggrin: Seems to be a cat back system with impressive torque increase in the mid-range on their std car. The cruise noise level is...

I saw a silver GTI with a full body kit last night that is just awesome, but I can't find pictures of it anywhere. There were 4 exhaust tips, 2 on each side, but high and very close to the sides of the car. Anyone have ideas which kit it could be?

A mate of mine worked in an Audi dealership up until last week and was telling me a story about a customer with an A3 2.0T that had worn out the clutches in his car. I guess too much hill holding or launch control action. Too them 2 days to change the clutches and nearly $5K later...
