i got clear fronts a couple days ago from Wolfie. but they are for 89+. to my knowledge, he hasnt made any pre 89s. i assume the procedure would be similar if not exactly the same for both models. heres the instructions he sent me but i havent tried it yet. i hope he doesnt mind me posting...
oh, i thought we were talking adout the TT wheels. the rear mk4 NA wheel is 9" 50mm offset. so in that case, i would recomend a 15mm spacer with the built-in studs. however that would require a 10mm deep, 22mm diameter relief holes in the mating surface of the wheel. i have no idea if the...
if using the mk4 tt rims, then a 20mm spacer in front and a 8-10mm spacer in the rear should give a close to flush look without rubbing.
im currently putting together a wheel offset guide so i had the numbers infront of me.
if you get spacers that are less than 25mm, then make sure the wheels you are going to use have enough "relief" for the cars studs and the lugs that hold the spacer on. i believe our studs are 1 inch (=25.4mm) so a 25mm spacer will fit even if there is no refief holes in the wheel. a 20mm...
not sure what you mean by cheap, but it does look better in person. if you are referring to the loose look, thats only because its not atatched to the frame. once i do that, it will look tight like stock.
if you use straight hose, it WILL pinch. if you have the old hose then you can play the match game at the parts store, otherwise its only like 25-32 clams at the stealership.
yeah i reused the steel wires. heck, i dont even remember getting flexible thread. maybe they left it out of my kit. or more likely, its somewhere in the bottom of my closet next to the seat heaters.:dunno:
pictures as promised.
here is the rear. the leather is loose because it is not hogtied to the frame. i have some surface rust i want to take care of before i tie it to the frame. it is hogtied to the foam though. as you can see, it looks almost exactly like stock.
a comparison...
yeah, after looking at the pictures more closely, i can see the leather tekdeus has is different from the ones that was sent to me. tekdeus' is missing the long vertical stitch that goes alongside the red.
seems now like either a manufacturing mistake or they used the wrong pattern for his...
i was in the group buy too. its really sad but i have yet to install them. car has been down for other reasons and the leather has not been a high priority.
anyway your pictures scared me so i pulled out the leather and compared it to stock. the leatherseats and my stock leather look the...
probably a repost...
so im watching the latest reno911 and theres a mk3 in it. i was like sweet! then they blew it up:aigo: . why does it seem that every time a mk3 is in tv or movies, it ends up being destroyed? is there some sorta hollywood conspiracy to elliminate the mk3? are...

is it possible to get the clifford matrix 12.5X (and/or viper 5002)? if so, how much? this is a 2way system without remote start but has a different remote that allows adjustment of the shock sensor from the remote.
