Nah, it's been around 130-150kw for many years. The old setup was 194kw, but that was 10 years ago.

That ac compressor is hanging on for dear life!

Rupewrecht · 02-12-2011, 02:17 PM

Not like it's worked in years anyway lol

Finally got motivated to finish the dash, ready for flocking now. Just need to fill one or two tiny low spots that i've noticed on the RHS, and that's it.

You'd only really notice the differences if you're familiar with a BA dash. Apart from the gauge pod, obviously

Looks good.
What's the larger slot on the left for? Boost controller?

Used to, and it's still all there. One day i'll bother to get it fixed. The cost puts me off!

scott b · 06-12-2011, 12:14 PM

oh fair enough, was gonna say you should have deleted the air vents would look nice and clean

OEM clock space is enlarged and a button deleted next to it?

Yeah, what it looked like a long time ago. Screen in the clock space, buttons on the LHS of the column.

Depends on the gauges you buy - if they come with plastic holder cups then you can use them, otherwise plumbing pipe. Then just use body filler, and sand that until you get the shape right.

mattylagana · 27-12-2011, 01:34 AM

sweet thanxz heaps, also is there any aftermarket support for gauge holders for our pillars or otherwise?

Clean_Cookie · 27-12-2011, 07:22 AM

No. Only din mount. Astinas were cheap transportation never built for turbo charging etc...

You might find some on the euro forums, but they'll likely be for LHD cars.
