News is i have blown my damn speedo transponder >:( im so pissed ive done this as they are a very very very rare part.
 
 I wish Portmanatu hadn't got upset but then i did ask him for one and he never got back so who knows.

 If anybody knows where i can get one its would be greatly apreciated.
 Rob from euroline will go through his pile to see if anything else will match.
 i will put up the part number soon.

Well I got my dash back from Steve at speedo repairs. He swapped out the MAF gauge that had burst its LCD, and he got the rev counter reliable I hope and fitted a speedo that not only went it also counts milage. And its all working :)
 But the transponder was blown. Bummer but he recons a mate of his can fix it for around a hundy so i will see if that gets done.
 in the mean time i have borrowed Spinners and its working like a charm. So nice to see these things work at the end of a job like this.
 Will get a wof tomorow.

 Car is now a far far better drive and the difference in the brakes is just amazing, they are actually pretty damn good.
 
 Now all I wanna do is go boost it down the motorway but I can only go 100kph :P How boring is NZ I wish we had an autobahn somewhere.

Well the speedo guys mate fixed the transponder for $100. So that's good.
 So I can give back spinners one. he has a stripped gear on his but i am going to take it to the model engineering exhibition on the weekend 2nd 3rd and 4th at the Wiapuna hotel in mt wellington and see if some old lathe dude will make us another one.
 i have worked out the best way would be to lathe the old teeth smmoth and then make a new gear bit that could be slid over the old area and glued into place. Im sure it will be able to be done and will cost $100 which is well worth it.

 Really if you try and think outside the square you can fix just about anything on a car.

 I'm all legal now and its going lovely I just need to find a money earning reason to go to Wellington so i can have a nice long drive in the darling.

Well mostly good news I have had the AC regassed (with the newer compressor fitted when I did the engine) and its working very well, nice and quiet.
 It had a leak when I first tryed to fill it on a alloy connection hose at a point where there was a locating tag on the alloy hose. I simply cleaned it up with part cleaner and put a big gob of Kneed it around it all and the AC guy was very impressed with such a easy repair that still held all his pressure in. This stuff is great and as long as your not yanking away on it like John Stones gear stick then it will last....its held Heathers gas in her fuel tank for 6 years now 8).
 Anyway its so nice to have a cold car as the audi 100/200s are pretty good at letting sun in.

 Bummers are that the rev counter is still intermittent at best, and the new trip computer screen has leaked again as well >:( Tho its not so bad and can still be read. I hate dash problems tho as they are staring you in the face every time you drive.

 All in all tho with the new brakes and engine and head lineing and tyres and AC and clutch and tie rods and battery and shocks and steering wheel and PS pump I think I mite be good for a few drives. :)
