Centennial Park


Suga’s recently gone part time (she’s got Mondays and Fridays off) and the sun was out so we hit Centennial Park early this morning for a quick ride. I had a bit of a sprint at th3 end of our ride and when we got back to the car I felt a dizziness I hadn’t felt in a looong time. So unfit!

Morning babies

We’re still keeping Mia in her room at nights and she sleeps through the entire night but come 6am she’ll meow. Her meow is more of an “oooooooyyyyyyy!” It’s so cute that it doesn’t bother Christina and I much!

VWG KK’s meet


Last night a fair few VWGolf.net.au members braved the cold and rain and headed out to KK’s.


Warm doughnuts, mmm.


It was too early to go home for some, and of-course we wanted a better look at some of the cars so a few of us cruised over to Fox.

More photos from the night here.

Recaro Pole Position


Lucky cat was watching over us tonight.


Seats are IN!!!

They feel sooo good. If anything I might lower them (I can go one notch lower on the side mounts). Better pics tomorrow!

EDIT – A few more pics of the seats in daylight:


Excuse the crappy shot!


Since this photo I’ve dropped the seats one notch down at the front (you can make out 3 holes in the photo) and the back of the side mounts and I’m sitting a lot lower now which feels a lot better (to me).


View from the boot. Those huge stickers are FIA stickers which I’ll leave on for now.

MKV update

Today I was booked in at TOP-ONE to get a few things done.

– New Forge water bottle reservoir from Ian at Rennenhaus was fitted.
– Rear wheel well carpet put back in as the noise that the little rocks my tyres were picking up was giving me the shits.
– UNIbrace UB installed.
– Eurospec Auto titanium exhaust tips installed.
– Recaro pole positions.

Everything went well except for the Recaro seat install. I’m getting the seat bases modified so I’ll have to wait a little longer to get the seats in but for now here are some progress pics!


Milltek tips came off (excuse the filthy car!).


Ti tips went on.


Flimsy old bracing came off.


UNIbrace UB went on.


Also spotted this NSX at the workshop. Not how I’d do it, but I have a thing for NSX’s (I’m always checking them out on carsales!).
