Looking good, G-man. Glad you're happy with the tails.

They were only collecting dust in the box at the shop, so it's good to see them be used.

[valgamesh]

Yeah tails look good man

[GeorgeMK1]

Heheheheeh and heres the finished result.




And i bought these number plate covers, for some fun DIY later

[Hilal]

Looks great bro, the clear style tail lights look better on a white golf. Tinting them looks best for your car, GJ!!

Soo i got these tyres off dado (spyda) and its apparent that they are very rare, and the only tyre i could get to do the possible stretch i want. Regardless of them looking good, its pretty damn dangerous driving them, and i wont be able to daily the rims if i do so...

So i dont think i'll be doing it. But for sh-ts and giggles anyway

I present to you - 155 on a 8"





Unfortunately, i might go with something as gay as 185/55/14 its the only low profile i can find

[GRN_VAGN]

looks horrid :S
a 185 i reckon would look good,

Car is looking good mate

[Preen59]

Those tyres look a bit silly. But hey, your car..

[GoLfMan]

I recon it looks pretty cool A whole lot of stretch though haha

Hey guys how exactly does the fan system work.

My switch/sensor on the side of the fan was faulty, so i got a new one. I re-wired a relay that was separate from the loom, and the cars wiring in general. I Ran the switch of the relay to one of the plugs to the fan switch on the side of the fan, and the other plug from the water temp sensor to ground. I warmed up the engine, and im pretty sure it surpassed 95deg however the fan still didnt turn on

Im guessing that, as the relay is 12v, maybe the switch/temp sensor or the side of the fan is sending higher, or lower volts or something.

LOL someone help

[GRN_VAGN]

normally there is a positive wire that goes from fuse box to the sensor on the radiator,
Then from that sensor a positive wire to the fan, then a earth from the fan to chassis. easy.

To bypass it, you put positive from fan to a relay, hook relay up to ignition, earth, and a switch on dash. Downside to this you will most likely forget to turn it on, and off.

There is a few universal kits out there, Craig Davies i think, has some. with a sensor probe in top hose, relay, ect.
