Alright, my car is currently off being worked on, so if any of you Sydney folks see a light blue new Golf or a black Audi A4 Avant wagon give you a flash of the headlights, it's most likely me...

Oh yeah:

- DSG gearbox in the Golf = f'king awesome for an "auto"

- CVT gearbox (which doesn't actually have proper gears) in the Audi = absolute shit. Don't EVER get trapped into buying a car with a CVT. Unfortunately I couldn't convince my old man to stump up a few more grand to go with a quattro with DSG.

Spotted a silver M35 AXIS on Station Rd in Toongabbie around midday today going past my street, then spotted a black s2 C34 with a body kit and trade plates on Parramatta Rd near Suttons Holden in Homebush around 3pm.

That was me for sure round midday, on way home from work, if you were in the light blue golf coming out the street near the bowling club, I spotted you too!

Ah-ha, yeh that was me Dave.

White M35 (possibly AXIS or ARX) on the M4 heading Westbound today around 2pm. I got on the freeway in Prospect and by the time I'd reached Walgrove Road it was too far to bother catching (I was sitting just above the speed limit and it was slowly pulling away).

    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
