THAT is sweet! Liked how you angled them!

Cheers ray, its far easier to read them that way

Woah, dedication right there...

How on earth is your dash so RED?

I played around a bit huh, its brighter in the pics than what it actually is cuz i rushed the pics, but i placed a row of red led's along the top of the cluster and also replaced the lcd light with a red led, i didnt hook the other one up though; during this proccess i up both the lcd readouts, broke the fuel needle and wrecked my speedo! So not the most effective mod i've done haha . . . . however i would do it again

oooooh, oil cooler...

Where from?

Of an english chap on the wonderfull world of e-baaaaaay :p

Looks like some great DIY there Alex. Good stuff.


What is happening with the panel directly to the right of the lightswitch, has it got tape on it or something?

I'm wanting to turn it into a stepped shift light, havnt looked into it yet

[madglf3]

Ah, I thought it might be some sensors playing up and you might have just taped them up . Stepped shiftlight sounds interesting. Good luck with it all mate.

Wow mate, really impressive stuff. My fave Mk3 in Australia by far.

Look forward to cruising with you Queensland guys when we move to the Goldy end of this year/next year.

Wow mate, really impressive stuff. My fave Mk1 in Aus by far.

Look forward to cruising with you Queensland guys when we move to the Goldy end of this year/next year.

Awsome man, look forward to it , cheers, although its a mk3 haha, aw good

[fuzion]

havent read through in a while..
really nice work and top effort from your side!

[KI11Z]

jeez, this thread was all the way back on page4! how this forum moves so quickly!

well small update, only small because i'm still yet to install the rear poly strut mounts, oil cooler and the lsd and ring and pinion into the box, its my damb daily and havnt found the time for it to be unusable : (

also i'm getting really bored of the whole black and white theme, so hopefully by the nats it'll be a lil different ; ) no shots of the new scheme till the nats just to annoy those who are interested . . .

though for now i've started cleaning up all the wireing throughout the car that has now been exposed due to panels being removed. I'll be painting the interior matt black I think? not 100% yet, but i dont want it to be too reflective. I'm removing the abs so hence no controller or loom, all the rear light wires have been "loomed" and re-routed and no more central locking! ahh, haha, so no more air lines running everywhere (ps, the ladies love how i have to open their door now ). So just two dodgey shots of the rear so far, still some sound deadning to remove and sticky tape stuff then a light sand and spraaay away!




also i rip my euro lip off everytime I enter and exit my garage and the other day i forgot to click it back in before i set on my journey it dragged for ages because i could hear it but I didnt even think it to be the lip, it finally let go and i ran over it! as i look in my rear view haha, it broke so i've now reapaired it, plastic welded and sewn back together

[AusScare]

the tear looks pretty sick tho in a way aha. Should definitely give the back area a good clean, get all the dirt, grime, sticky crap off it for now, even if it's not getting painted for a while.

Can't wait to see the car in person, tho I dunno if I could live without aircon and a stereo lol. Maybe aircon, but not without music D:

Ever had it dyno'd? What sort of kw-per-tonne have you got there? Stock weight is what 1.2t, what's yours at?
