Dave J:
Great work - that's a really good read. Love the amount of work that has gone into your mk5!
Whereabouts in NZ are you? I was born in Auckland, but seem to be stuck in the UK now...
Dave J:
Ooops - just noticed you said you're in Wellington :ashamed:...

Did some things today.
Boot light now works and is now LED. success.
Also noticed when the sun was in a certain position it was shining on a plaque on the top of the exhaust tips. Turns out its a legit as f*ck Kakimoto Einsatz Type 2 exhaust.

Dont think mine is the burnt titanium tip, likely the black chrome but until i drop it and give it a polish i wont know for sure.

in other developments, my persistence has paid off.
My carbon front splitters are made by COX in japan. They also make the carbon cluster surround (which according to the site is actually real carbon).
The splitters are about $300. no idea how to buy them if i wanted to though. None on Yahoo JPN.

FML, finally managed to look into why the electrics on the drivers seat dont work.
Checked the plugs under the seat, and found this.
A disconnected and taped up yellow wire,
and a large plug that was disconnected. the other half was stuck under the seat.
I checked the wiring on the passengers side, which does work, and the big plug was connected. disconnected it and the electrics stopped working. Ok, obviously the large plug has the heater and lumbar wiring in it.
I fished the plug out from under the seat and plugged it in. Noticed the clip on the plug was broken off, so used a ziptie to hold it together. Tested, heating and lumbar both work now, but as soon as the ignition is turned on i get an airbag light. FML.
Will try disconnecting the battery later, but i feel i might have to VAGCOM it. Not sure what the yellow wire is, but didnt touch that one.
