Beaus' 95 Mk3

Dash is looking good, where'd you get the LEDs from?

This is the exact product if it helps, white ones.

do you only need 2 LEDs?

do you only need 2 LEDs?

From what I remember it is only two up top.
You can change the LCD bulbs too, one for each, but you have to open the whole cluster to take the green film out. I just kept the colour but put two white LED bulbs in.

Yup it's two LED's up the top. You don't actually have to unplug and remove the cluster to get to them either. After having done it once I could do it to another in about 10 minutes, very simple job.

Well I suppose it's time for an update. I've since installed a basic sound system, new deck, 6" speakers for the front doors and a sub + amp combo in the boot (goodbye 50% of the already small boot space). I have a central locking and alarm kit that's still sitting in the garage waiting to go. If anyone can help me out with the factory wiring diagram that would be awesome! Seems my Mk3 has a basic central locking from factory (works by turning the key in the door but not remotely) so thinking of tapping into that as there should be factory actuators in the doors already which I would rather make use of than installing the ones from the kit.

Also replaced the rocker cover gasket which was leaking and gave the entire engine bay a real good degrease and pressure clean so that's looking heaps neater as well. I went to do the plugs a few weeks back but Repco sold me incorrect plugs, turns out they don't even have a listing? So I was going to get them online from the EK/EU but it's been 3 weeks and I still haven't ordered them ha. They don't need to be done, more so the fact that I have no idea when they were last done.

I also butchered my trade the other day and did a total DIY driveway job on repainting the factory wheels (painted them on the car haha) mainly because I don't have 4 jack stands and didn't want to do half the job at a time. The original silver was falling apart and had been planning on painting them black any way.



Painting the wheels gave me the nudge I needed to fit the Mk1 centre caps that I've had for a while now. I got myself an extra set of the Mk3 centers which I trimmed down and Sikaflex'd them to hell and back. So far they haven't flown off down the road.



Here's how it looks with the center caps - I might have Photoshopped the ride height to how I would like it to be. The Australian dollar continues to worsen which has put me off ordering them for now but it's begging for dem lows so I'll probably be ordering some shortly.



Also thinking of building a wooden roof basket as the roof racks are here to stay. Have also been thinking of wrap around venetians like this,



I would either have to build these myself as I can't find any where that even makes tailgate Venetians for a Mk3 let alone side windows. The alternative and easiest option would be to find some second hand ones from a similar sized car and modify them to suit. I'm sure the direction I'm taking with this isn't everyone's cup of tea but I like the idea of having some thing different.

Cheers,
Beau

Loving it dude! definitely different which is awesome IMO

That black respray and centre caps have completely changed the look of the car. Go the lowlife!

[Juzzpc]

looks great! we can't all have the same looking mk3s, I understand how you like to take it in different directions

If you need help with the wiring I think I have a post about it in my thread. Or a thread somewhere around here. Most bang for your buck mod, everyone should do it.

Remote central locking.
Keyless Entry Module Help
This post in the thread is how the wiring should go.

I also highly recommend getting one of these or borrowing one. http://www.bunnings.com.au/irwin-200...ipper_p6010322
Means you can expose the wire and tap the module's wires into it without cutting the stock wiring.
