the wire was a little loose in the plug but thats about it. Would that reduce by signal though? I dont have AM either...

I don't know in that case. Take it to a electrical mechanic.

good luck with the stockification!

Great to hear you've been able to find new machine, especially one practically identical to your last one!

I have those vents on my car, I dont think they really do much but they look awesome

All the best with the project

It stays in when you push it in but if you pull on it it just slides out. Don't know why. Even if im just out at the gateway bridge nova and B105 start dropping out....

Regarding the paint, the base coat wont have faded, it will just be the clear which can normally be machine polished out. I've done 6 or 7 mk3's now, most of them have scrubbed up really nice I can take a look at the paint if you like and could give it a full detail to bring it back to life for cheap if you're interested (not trying to steal the thread and promote myself or anything, but thought I'd throw it out there)

Nice pickup mate, good luck getting it all tidy again. I remember this car when it had the smaller 5 spokes as the owner used to work at zaraffas coffee in Helensvale. They never returned my VW wave. Still it was a nice car from memory.

Despite the bmw I hear Ben certainly knows a thing or two about paint. If you want to offload the fake intakes give me a yell I'd love to try them on the Vento

So the work continues. Transferred the wreck's aircon compressor over today but didnt have the tools to undo the pips off the old one... Hence the growth that is hanging out the front there! haha.



Couple of issues if come across:

1) Noticed a dodgy throttle response in first when I really give it a boot. Turned out to be the big black corner pipe that joins onto the throttle body.



It seems to be melting because of the heat off the extractors. Anyone have an idea on how to reduce the heat it is exposed to? THe stock heat shield doesnt fit the extractors.

2) the left mirror wont move up and down. it goes left and right though. have replaced the motor mechanism from the wreck which works but no luck!

3) Where can I buy some of those crappy door handle seals??

4) Clearcoat... Any advice on how to do some cheap repairs or atleast slow its growth? Its like a bloody cancer.


Sorry Joe, Intakes are gone mate. I thought you were going OEM anyway!?
