If the reversing lights haven't been working then that is probably where the fault originated. Unlike other lights in the car, reversing lights are permanently connected to positive, and the circuit is switched by connecting the circuit to earth, which is negative. That switch is in the gearbox. I'd...

Put some new mirrors on in the weekend. Bought these from Ebay for half the price they are on Trademe. Surprisingly little metalwork needed to fit them. These are way better than the out-on-an-arm "racing" mirrors you can get. Rock solid, convex glass, and you don't even notice the window frame, you...

Wrapped my NA and gave her TSIs as well

More time consuming than difficult. I still have some tidying up to do, the front bumper needs to be aligned prop...

Ghetto NA tophat tweak
Pulled all the tophats out of my NA and 're-engineered' them for a bit of lowering without losing shock travel. The mod drops about 25-30mm (still settling so I can't be sure, but that's what the theoretical calcs give me), while lifting the shock mount . No discernable extra NVH, in fact the ride s...

I'd go for the RS, assuming a test drive doesn't show anything. Best resale by far when you take into account the points Slydit made and the auto box on the green one. We have an NA1600 5 sp and an NB1800RS 6 sp. and we love both of them. The 6 sp is great for open road touring. Oh and as Mr Grey sa...

Cheap BRG/Tan NA in Timaru I've been driving past an NA for sale for the last few days and stopped to take a look today. 1991 BRG, body looks ok but paint is pretty tired, might come back with a good cut though. Tan leather/Nardi interior. Standard daisy wheels. Anyway, the guy's asking $2200 which ...

There's an open diff and an OPENED diff
Pulled a workmate out of a riverbed this afternoon, he said it just went clunk and stopped. Anyone want to buy a cheap Vitara? In it's life it's been rolled, new back axle, cracked head, stuffed gearbox, now the front diff. Be glad to see the last of this one... http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad...
