I'm looking more seriously at WRX STI's at the moment, to have a weekend toy or for track days. Need to shift my R32 though first!

Oil changing OCD- 3 changes in 1000 miles..

Not cheap when you use only genuine filters and the best of oil!

Yeah, you're going a bit overboard with the oil change, but I guess you must have a good reason to do it, right? :confused:

For me 5L of that oil costs 30 €, while 5L of Millers Oils CFS 5w40 NT Nanodrive costs 88 €.

Have you thought about trying Millers Oils Nanodrive?

Yeh mate it wasnt for no reason! One was when i done chain tensioner, one was when i done turbo and this time im changing to Shell Helix as i cant get the Gulf oil i was previously using.

I use the Shell Helix Ultra ECT because it has the specific VW 504 approval. I bought enough to do another change too, aswell as 2x 1L bottles for top-ups because the Forge catch can system slowly fills with oil and therefore i need to top the engine oil back up every so often!

The Shell Helix Ultra costs £43.50 for 5L here.

That oil there is 2x the price it's sold here in the cheapest store. :surprised:

At least you do it yourself. :happy2:

Was out and done a few hundred miles today,  the wild power band from 4k rpm upwards with the APR map still massively impresses me, its nothing short of wild!
It either makes me laugh out loud or have a good old smile on my face, and Im not easily impressed by cars at all! :)

Seemed to see a few Mk6 about too, up the North of Scotland. Including a guy driving his nice GTD with some spirit, much to my entertainment!

Thought Id take some proper pictures of it since i dont actually have any proper pictures!

The Golf got treated in a different kind of way tonight!

A heater and thermometer from good old Screwfix to make sure its kept warm and dry in the garage!



Was getting annoyed with water off the car after a wash not drying out in the garage now its a bit colder. Hate dampness! Now the heater comes on when it gets cooler, help keep it dry and warm!

It got a wee wash too.


Cant say its not looked after! Lol.

Detailing level +1 for the climactic drying in garage... That's dedication.
