Nice work!
Really like the gauges, but I personally don't really like big screens in a 20+ year old car, but that's personal taste I guess.

[DJexor]

looks good man! good job!

How much did you pay for those gauges?

[CircuitFreak]

But since lots of mine music is on dvd, I need a dvd player,

i might switch to an also single din radio wit build in 2,5" radio, couse I dont know if i will keep this radio for the same reason....

I got mine at http://www.powerkings.nl
about 60 euro per meter not that expensive..
I had these ones "left" from my purchase for the AE101 swap still got lots of stuff left.. including 3"stainless steel pipes for a whole new exaust. but tat is just to mutch for it..

Ow.. and will take an picture of my sensors.. I just fits tight!!

maybe I want a oil filter relocator kit.. couse the oil temp sensor is also getting hot from the exaustmanifold I guess...

Jup It is an bit in the way, and like I said, I can buy the shortshifter of chell, and a other/ smaller gearthingy bag (pookhoes) would be nice indeed..

[AshCampbell]

nice work, but the gauges are a little bit too deep i think, you cant read them when your driving

[Gtsi-R]

I actuallycan read them during driving!

though it is sometimes , the shiter is in front, but full time info is not needed that does make the difference!
and this was / is the nicest place to put them according to me!

[Max Havelaar]

Neat work. Just don't like the style of the gauges in this kind of car. Same story for the radio. But it's nicely done. More plans to come?

[Gtsi-R]

first new thing is the Shortshifter from chell..

any ideas for a different gearstick cover ?? in stead of the old plastic thing??

Cheers Roel

[Gtsi-R]

The Short shifter is in
Works just great.. smooth and tight.
Quite a big improvement..

Also gathering some Information for a Run Free Kit, couse that is the set I like the most.

THe stuff is made out of FRP
Does that stand for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic?

and does that stuff bend a little, of will it brake?

I do like the front fenders, and need 1 new one thats for sure.. but the rear fenders, I want them to be from metal, how mutch wider will the Golf 1 arches make the coupé?

thanx

Cheers

FRP is indeed fibreglass.. I just cant believe that run-free would make them with that stuff. If it is FRP, it will brake on colisions.. I thought most of the "brand-name" kits from japan where made from some urethane-plastic, which is much better since it can flex.

Golf arches make the car quite a bit wider in the back...look up robokill's track car for pics. You do need to realise that you'll have to do some fancy welding where the arch meets the rear bumper, because the golf arches are designed to go all the way down, unlike the ae86 ones which stop at the bumper.

BTW, I recently saw an old Opel Kadett ( early 80's, D) that had arches that might suit the ae86 too. Dont know how they compare to the golf stuff though. Most people would rather die than have opel stuff on their toyota anyway so I never bothered to look into it.
