Tallika_Fan Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 yeah they did all come from the same place.Newsouth performance in america, there called indigo gauges... imported by awesome gti for me.. Thanks goes to al ofcourse!After i posted i did a search for newsouth and came up trumps, they're stuff looks good, not too dear either! I'm quite liking the idea of some gauges in the din slot, 2 or 3, who knows. Hehe. Good to know about the resister to lower the brightness. Hopefully you'll get to use the gauges in anger soon.Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I was getting annoyed earlier as group N engine mounts (afaik) don't exist. This is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 That is really interesting stuff..........you rekon it would work on the wishbone bushes (the larger one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 To be honest mike, if there are powerflex ones available then i woudl use them as there made for it. I purely made this one becasue there arent any available for that mount.It took 3 attempts to get it right, kept on getting air bubbles trapped in it but eventually got a good one. If i was to make them again, id drill a hole in the plastic clamp peices and injection mould it under pressure. Im sure that would work first try.I still have resin left if anyone wants to pay me to do them one? Ive just fitted it and it is alot stiffer, and i think it will make a real difference. Hopefully by next weekend ill be able to feel the difference in the car!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatttty Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Talk to colin he'll tell you what's needed.yup colin had these in his lupo before the Mk4 recaros. have these got side airbags? is so you will need to connect the seats to the original loop in the floor, im doing this with my recaros later in the week just need to cut the connector blocks and crimp on the lupo ones from the old seats.

CasperGTI Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Fitted today. Just need to order two plugs to wire in the airbags and finish off the power cables.Took a little bit of playing about with to get to slide propperly, will have to resort to the grinder.They look cool though. Im really happy with them.Engine rebuild on thursday and friday, im at the F1 over the weekend so i guess it will be alive some time next week.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
