not having much luck at the moment... the oil light came on today whilst driving!!... albeit at low revs, noticed it seems to come on within a few minutes (with oil at normal running temps) of driving at low revs which probably means the pump is on its way out, as the oil level is full! could also be a faulty pressure switch...? and if i turn the car off and then on straight away whilst rolling it goes away....

 

As fot plans go.. nothing major really just need to sort out the spacing for the fronts and maybe add a bit of negative camber front and rear... wanna get the car running properly first tho and if this low oil pressure doesnt resolve itself after an oil/filter change and possibly an oil pump then its gonna have to be a 1.9 bottom end aswell unfortunately....

this also means i will have a set of smoked crystal rear lights for sale pretty soon aswell... 8)

I have also fitted my D90s back on.. luv the aggresive look it gives the car, and i ve sold the RSs... thinking of detailing the D90s similar to this MIVW Mk2 Golf in this pic.. love this car!

Yeah i have to agree aswell the look was just not the same on the RSs compared to the D90s... :oops: dont get me wrong i luv the split rims but they are also a bitch to keep clean...

 

ohwell, due to the sale of the splits i am now able to put the money towards a set of very special brakes...hey Darren :D

Looking good mike_g60, gorgeous car youve got there!!

 

A mate of mine saw your car in Gunwharf Quays car park a month or so ago and he came back with a photo on his phone saying check this Rado out, its a beauty!!

 

Much prefer the Porsche wheels to the splits you had on...

This is how my side exit exhaust may look after i have finished playing with the postion... the endpipe is too long at the moment so i think that may be shorted and repostioned so its not pointing so far up... but i think when done it will look really cool!

 

I cant find any decent pics of Big Rons green Mk2 golf... the side exit on his is the style i am aiming for...

 

Thanks Daz for the Exhaust bits... i can start to visualize it much better now mate!
