And looking very nice i might add! :cool:
What size profile of you using on your 90's?
Did you do the dash yourself?
-
195 45 r16's, with arch mods, oh yes are there arch mod lol..... hmm dremels are the way to go nice neat job....
the dash hmmm a labour of love you try wiring a 89 golf up to a corrado dash, had to get help from an auto electrician!!!! but fitting the dash aint to bad!! had it out a couple of months back for a heater matrix replacement!!!!
-
What size width are the adaptors you use for the wheels?
What wiring problems did you have with the dash?
-
looks sweet, are those front seats out of a scirroco? :cool:
-
right adaptors first 25mm adaptors but bear in mind i managed to get four 16x6j design 90's so no probs fouling on coilovers!!!
seats are scirroco bargain find badged recaros £40 from gti festival earlier in the year..
right wiring probs A. all the 89 golf connectors and wire colours are completly different to the Corrado dash if have it right i belive post 90's golfs do use the same wiring combinations (someone correct me if i am wrong lol)..
so it is a case of grab a multimeter and test each wire oh and grab a corrado wiring diagram to that is a big help for colour defining the wiring!!!!
-
Whoa,that gives me flashbacks LOL :grin:Tell me about the arch mods.I was running mine at 95 mm all round on design 90s 6x16 and still had to mod the arches!
-
yep, there aint much metal left under them front arches lol now where did i put that tiger seal :shocked:
-
i think i know who you bought those seats off!! hats off to the corrado dash, freaks me out that kind of mod!
-
that is one clean cool looking mk2... (currently looking for a mk2 and if I find one near to that standard I'll be a happy man)
-
wouldnt say the dash was an easy mod and i am still not really happy with the way the clocks fit but that is because the speedo cable doesnt have quite enough give on it.... but hey ho was not meant to go in a mk2 but i made it fit lol
-
Nice looking mk2 mate :cool:
-
a little off topic but while im here anyone staying at edition 38 on friday or does anyone know if you can??!?
-
Nice and clean there mate but why does 85% of MKII Golfs go for the same front look? Single lights with the debadged grill?
-
ahhha well that is a temp fit, have a little something i am working on for that area, ya never know may and i mean may get it finished for edition 38 lol
-
Nice and clean there mate but why does 85% of MKII Golfs go for the same front look? Single lights with the debadged grill?
Cos it looks the best! No arguments please :grin: Each to their own and all that....
Im surprised you needed to cut your arches so much. Ive got 30mm adaptors with 6" on the front and 8" or 9" on the rear (cant remember). The front inner arch is standard and uncut - does catch a little on full lock but wont take much to sort out. The rears however have been completly cut away. So the arch no longer catches but the tyre hits the top of the inner arch if i go over a big bump or have people in the back, i also get a bit of scrubage on the side of the rear plastic g60 arch belive it or not because of the way the suspension arm travels. i.e as it goes up it also goes towards the front of the car a little.
-
Just seems every Golf goes for that look. But, of the few kits i seen. None really suit the Golf. Golf is a hard car to mod to please most people :p
-
rears are fine but with the 100mm (conservative estimate could be lower!??!) cant remember what it looked like stock :laugh: lol drop on coilovers belive me mate it needed arch work!!!!!! would have shredded the tyres in no time!!! :laugh:
-
looking damn nice spekky :cool:
