Always wondered how does the reading get from inside the tyre to the computer thing. Also how is it powered (the bit inside rim)?
That sounds cheap for what it is/does.
Perhaps try one of those handheld temperature gauges to take the readings accross the tread of the tyre too, but if they cool down as quick as your making out it might be difficult to get some accurate readings.
Where were you, Anglesey again?
Are you keeping your BBS RAs?
What engine is going back in the GTi?
Thats quite an early Mk2, how much did you pay?
Edit I see you did! I thought those houses looked familiar
Just a word to the wise.. If it's one of the guys from the 1st Council House opposite the Playground by the Church it was parked in, or his mate that lives just down the road from the Church on the same side, then make sure you get all the Documents and check the VIN/Engine No.'s etc, make sure it's a proper kosher job before you drive away with it
I don't want to hijack the thread but where would you suggest getting some MK3 golf (4 bolt) steal wheels from with good tyres?
I may need some new tyres on my golf soon and I guess buying a set of rubbish wheels on with god tyres will be the cheapest way to do it?
I don't know the car no, two guys use that Car-Park to sell, if you go past their houses you'll see the next batch getting sorted for sale....Or bits of them I'm sure you know what you're doing though
I'm not getting the whole "new shell" thing. What's up with the old one? It is a newer car after all
Just because the existing shell is newer, does not mean it is in better condition.

also...having no sunroof helps with bodyflex to IIRC?
Means you can work on one shell whilst driving the other??
I'm not sure! I'm looking into different options at the moment. An ATP eliminator kit looks tempting as I wouldnt have to change the downpipe etc. I do have a spare engine here that I think I'm going to build up so the internals can cope with the power without a worry and I can just swap them over when it's ready. I also need some bigger injectors and a suitably uprated fuel supply system.
The eliminator turbos come in 290bhp, 350bhp and 400 bhp versions but, it's so nice to drive now as the K03s spools up so early, I dont really want to spoil that by putting a HUGE turbo on it. Is an extra 30bhp worth £1000+? I might aswell go for the extra 90bhp for the same price!
