Sean your welcome anytime man, come up for the Nats and I shall take you on first spin bro.



Jarred I won't be getting the wheels till tomorrow

I think I will have to take tomorrow morning off

I won't be putting on the wheels probably until the last week of but I need to take the two rear wheels to Detroit Customs so they can work out how much to roll my rear guards. There is going to be a shocker though, I originally wanted all 8s but now they will be slightly staggered

just tell them to roll it to the max.. coz the max is not much as you cant completely fold it.

Day can not get any better I tell you, just spoke to the boys at Detroit Customs, they have done my radiator support in gloss black Its still a little rough as it comes but they are going to cut it back and redo it when they test fit it on the car, car is moving smoothly along.

However I am now forced to get a new window reg for my rear window it doesn't work but I never open it but in order to do the fantastic work that the guys at Detroit do they need to remove all moulds and not do a half ass job, so I am on the hunt for a new window reg.

Another little downer but I am OK with it is that they cannot plastic weld the air ducts flush to the front end as they are two different plastics and it just can't be done, but I am OK with that they where pretty flush how they were before so thats good

good work steve, i like what they are doing to your KW coilovers..

[DubSteve]

[BL33SU]

There not KW mate look like K-macs to me

k-macs r orange not yellow.. they r your springs so tell us wot your planning to do

[DubSteve]

Not planning anything and I don't own those pair of shoes so don't know what your talking about :/

[tassie_euro_mk1]

sorry steve but just going back the key thing.

do you have an aftermarket alarm that you plan to remove the electronic gizmo outta the remote and swap it into the vw switchblade key???

cos ive been sitting on this idea for awhile now. only thing stopping me is the lack of a decent aftermarket alarm

I got my key cut. and like rayray said they have to remove the blade itself cos it wont fir in the machine.

when i got mine done i watched the guy do it. he took the pin out, cut the key and put the pin back in. simple as that. and the price?? $2.95!

perfect job.

[DubSteve]

Yo Eric thats cool yeah I have a decent alarm system something that I am thinking of upgrading in the near future. But basically what I am going to do is and there is a thread on the mk3 forums on the tex and basically they take the alarm unit out and make it fit with cutting and re-soldering new wires so that it will fit. You have to cut some of the plastic bits in the key fob but you can't see it on the outside its all internal.

Does your VR have a emobiliser chip cause my hardest point at the moment is getting the front part off to try and get the key fob apart so I can stick the chip in that part there.

[tassie_euro_mk1]

is the chip located in the original keys ?

all i know is that my vr is fitted with a ****y alarm system that is now disabled. im currently saving for a decent alarm.

i would love to one day use my lock and unlock buttons on the switchblade key

[BL33SU]

i have a FOB key.. and i am making it work with my stock central locking system, so the buttons from the fob key will open and close doors and start d car.. with d help from ACER also 1 cars been done.. mine is next.. let u's know how it goes.
