In with the new MK3...

[rayray086]

Yep we have the same engines. ADY engine code with the shorter intake manifold.

This is a 1.8L:



One thing that is common with cl's is that the rear hatch trim is textured whereas the gl + vr6 is colour coded.

Hell yeah they are such a power house... So much power that when my beast was coming of the trailer i spun 'em on the wet driveway

Dont mock the single point econmy pack

No we didn't unfortunately. ITB's work great on them though, I think the IV's come a similar motor.

Well, aren't i a happy guy. A better car than i thought and more power. Just out of interest, what's the ITB you speak of? Internal Throttle Body by chance?

So, i guess the next question is how this could be a mix up on the rego papers as it was advertised as a 1.8 CL and is on paper that way too.

Is there anywhere i can check the VIN or engine No to confirm?

Thanks for all your help.

ITB = Individual Throttle Body

Well, i have been slack updating this thread too. After a couple of cleans, a few little additions and a few weeks, i've got round to taking shots of my MK3.

Since purchasing, i've added smoked side repeaters, a VR6 front lip and a MK4 Engine cover badge on the tailgate.

Now i need to get paid before i can continue my work

Here she is:

mmm, nice red! and colour coded bumpers and rub strips

Looks good Jon. I think I may have to get some of those smoked repeaters for mine also.

I know you have probably heard it a hundred times already but those lower plastic trims need a coat of black paint

[Jondarren]

Yeah i was lucky with the full colour coding, so saves me having to do a massive job sanding and smoothing to paint, should the urge ever take me.

And those lower plastic trims are bugging me for sure. So is the spoiler. I'm gonna give the black shoe polish a go, and if that's not good enough, then the paint will follow.

Was happy with the smoked repeaters too, and they're pretty cheap and yet a simple subtle addition.
