mk4 or corrado dash?????
« on: 18 December 2005, 15:58 »
HI everyone, i've had a mk1 golf gti for nine years now, and have been modifing it for the past three.
As standard i've converted a 20v turbo lump under my bonnet along with all the drivetrain  , now comes the tricky part, 
I can't decide whether to install a mk4 dask with all the instrumentation and complete mk4 wiring loom :cool: 
or
Custom engine management with corrado dash and modified mk1 wiring loom to suit. :evil: 
If i go for the corrado dash, is the speedo a digital signal because i've already installed the mk4 gearbox which has a digital output? :huh:

If I were you Id try to get a mk4 dash in it and possibly the r32 style stets. Will bring it right up to date and should look a little specal. Not seen it done likr that in a mk1 so might well turn more than a few heads while ur at it!

U got any pics of it?

I would have thought a mk4 dash would require an awful lot of cutting down to fit into a mk1 - the corrado option may end up the better looking of the two, whilst still giving the car a more modern feel... personally i think the best interior for a mk1 GTI is the standard one - nice and simple, and it really suits the car - but your's sounds like you're so far past the standard point that anything could work :smiley:

should have some pics soon.
Funny enough i've already trimmed a mk4 dash to fit, but getting it to mount with the bulkhead - heater and wirer the thing up seems to be a bit of a challenge, so thought the corrado dash could save me some work and get my beast back on the road sooner. :cry:

Your man to speak to about dash swaps is our resident forum user called Dizzie, he would be the best person I know on here to offer some advice. He put a mk3 interior into his mk2 and had to do a bit of fabrication to make it fit.

mk4 dash would be a slag to fit. A lot of cutting. You don't see any of them for good reason ;)

The corrado one has been done before and looks very good IMO. I'd go for that. You could always fit the mk4 clocks in there if you wanted to.
