I dunno, that engine's pretty close to the front, it's gotta be a V6.

Re: Darkpilots 2003 VW Golf: Updated!
I love how much my car can carry.
In the 2 new photos on the front page you may notice 2 base drums, 4 snare drums and some random band crap stuffed in for good measure. Thats just one of the loads I hauled this weekend
I'm not afraid to use 'er, but come the week shes getting a wash, wax and a good clean out as a reward for some good hauling.

Re: Darkpilots 2003 VW Golf: Updated!
Agreed. The versatility of the Golfs and hatchbacks in general is quite useful. I have hauled lots of random crap in mine as well. Anything from Ikea furniture to lamps, TVs, bikes (2 inside) and much, much more.

Re: Darkpilots 2003 VW Golf: Updated!
Momentous occasion! I have done my front brakes.
Thus we begin:
Caliper off, you can see the pads still look pretty good... I know...
Rotor off, now we see the problem....
That may explain the noises coming from my front end for the past year when braking...( I curbed this wheel pretty bad in winter 2009. I thought all I had done was kill the rim.. guess not)
Some ant seize for good measure.
All done
It all went rather well except when I almost stripped the screw holding the drivers side rotor on... was a close call. On the plus side car stops quite well now with no noises or wobbles, It's also stopped pulling to the right when braking >_>
