Great work, this is the first time Iโve had a chance to use that gauge I bought a few years ago, totally forgot I had it until I saw your picture ๐๐

No mate, the gearbox came in the fire damaged car that Michael and myself bought a couple of years back, Michael took the head and the VSR, I retained the rest, the gearbox had an issue the previous owner made us aware of, 1st and 2nd difficult to select. I took it to a gearbox mechanic that I know through a friend, he repaired it and changed the 5th gear, I supplied the 5th but as Iโd only ordered one half of it he supplied one ๐๐ I did ask if he could swap the lsd(wavetrac) into my working box but he said it would be better/cheaper to fix the box with it already in

I can mate, still a bit worried that absolutely nothing will happen when I turn the key, although Iโve double and triple checked everything, there has been a lot done. Change of cams, chains and tensioners, clutch and flywheel, OBD2 conversion, Teves20 conversion, gearbox rebuild (5th gear swap and 1st&2nd synchroโs replaced to go with existing lsd). Plus I removed all the existing oe and aftermarket alarms/immobilisers so there has been a lot of electrical jiggery pokery ๐คฃ

Long time no updates although I have been crazy busy with getting back to work, but some progress has been made. All brake lines have been made and fitted, goodridge hoses all round. As itโs Teves20, no bias valve. Fuel tank and pipes installed. Coolant hoses installed, but had a few leaks when filled up, crack pipe at block(pinched seal),thermostat housing (my error in assembly) and radiator switch (not quite tight enough). Swapped the metal crack pipe for a vw original one, sorted the thermostat housing and tightened the red switch and no more leaks(yet). Oil filled up. Gearbox filled up with MT-90. Power steering fluid added but needs the pump turning for circulation. All heat shields installed. Exhaust fitted except the back box, need to do a bit of a repair on the rear bracket area. Still to do Finish the install of the Schrick pipes/electrical box.......almost done though Add brake fluid Adjust the gear linkage as itโs not quite right at the moment (at least I donโt think it is) Loads of smaller jobs needing done but it might well get fired up soon ๐

I had my fuse box all the way down to allow removal of all the old security stuff, OBD2 conversion, Teves20 conversion and to wire in my heated/moving seats. When I tried to put it back it was a horrible job, Iโm still crossing my fingers that everything stayed in place as it was very tight

As usual, life constantly gets in the way of car tinkering. Iโve been super busy recently so very little done. I removed the rear axle again, tidied up a few areas of surface rust, found a few other bits where the underseal had split so I had a few small patches to weld, nothing pretty but now solid. Also managed to fit the the front brakes and refit the rear axle

Iโm not sure, if they are indeed 57.1 centres then I guess theyโve had some work done? Are Subaru not a bit smaller? I donโt think there is much in it

Seen them ๐ฅด

Thanks mate, Iโll keep this in mind, Iโm going to go with the easier one that Fla posted. I do like the idea of a cabin switch but as the car hasnโt actually started yet Iโll get it working first ๐๐
-
This I think I can just about manage, any idea of diode size I should be buying? Also, total laymanโs question.......what does the diode do? Is it like a non return valve for power? ๐คฃ
-
Superb mate, thank you ๐
-
๐คฃ Iโll need to make a cuppa before I try looking at that ๐คฃ Let me look and Iโll see if I can find the post/posts on Facebook ๐

Thanks mate, Iโm ideally hoping for an absolutely idiot proof guide ๐๐
-
Iโll look at eBay to see if I can find a plug, Sharan is a good shout ๐ No idea about the brackets, I bought these years ago. Yes, ideally I want it to run like factory ๐ค๐ Long time no speak mate, you still in Glasgow? If so I think you might have been spotted a couple of times........posts on Facebook stating theyโve seen an unidentified green Corrado about the Clydeside expressway ๐

Iโm having a bit of an issue with how to wire my slimline fans. I bought the set up years ago, with wiring already attached. This seems to incorporate the radiator switch leaving no place for the original wiring to plug into. Iโm hoping for an easier/simple solution that allows me to plug the rad switch plug in as normal. Both fans have a blue and black wire(+ and - I guess) . I would like somehow to attach these to the original fan motor plug. Iโve had a search but still unsure. Do I join the 2 lives from the slim fans and then split them into the 3(stage 1,2,3) lives on the plug ? Or into one and then bridge the other 2? Then join the 2 negatives and put them to the earth in the plug? Obviously it would be nice to locate the correct opposite of the plug to make it tidy, sure I read that there is one from another vw but I canโt find the old thread I saw it in? Many thanks as always if anyone can help ๐ Pictures of the wiring I have installed on the fans

This should help ๐

Well done on getting the sale mate, Iโm sure youโll keep an eye on here, most people do ๐

Iโll have a look mate ๐๐

Very nice mate, past parts? Could you say how much it cost? ๐
-
Itโs in the post mate ๐

This one? If so let me check and Iโll see if Iโve got a spare one of them as well as the metal bracket. edit: Got the clip, and almost certainly will have the bracket ๐ If so Iโll get them to you ๐ Wont be looking until the morning as itโs not nice outside ๐คฃ
