what does this car have an analog climate??

I spotted that too and scratched my head. All the aussie delivered GTI's had digital climate control. Was this one a private import or something?

hey why dont you put the water lines under the top strut bar

Well for some reason there seemed to be some compression of the water line when i tried it from the bottom. didn't wanna cause issues so just ran it over the top

Its a Jap import. The Specs are slightly different to the Oz and New Zealand new cars. Unlike Oz's strict import laws we get tons of imports which do 2 things makes good cars more affordable to everyone as it drops the market price and also makes NZ new cars ie cars bought from the dealers new hold their prices a little longer as their specs are different to the imported cars. Also my car being a 1999 doesn't have a trip computer either only the 2000 model up have them. oh yes and the gearbox linkage system is the same as that on the late mk3 golfs it was only changed on the 2000 model up.

Add a stubby antenna to the list of mods!

getting a Sharon stubby arial soon also need to buy an arial mast repair kit from ECS tuning as the rubber gasket surround on mine parished with the sun and came off so it looks abit incomplete at the moment and VW doesn't sell these darn things separately

As for the Stewart Warner Gauges I'm not entirely happy with them. Boost gauge's arm doesn't swing smoothly and often gets stuck and had oil leaking through the oil temp sensor and loss of oil pressure through the pressure sensor. The colour coding is spot on with the OEM lighting but the gauge isn't lit up evenly as i was led to believe. I'll be pulling them out shortly and replacing them with the smoked Autogauge boost, A/F ratio metre and a voltage metre. I've seen these gauges in the flesh and they well lit, easy 2 read and very smooth and accurate.
