My VS Acclaim

cheers mate, its a straight swap for the stato dash, if you know how to take them out. i was dreading it but its actually fairly straight forward, only a few hours work.

 

[UW1SH]

So do i need the wiring from the stato dash or can i use the normal exec loom.. im guessing not since the stato is digital??

 

[Linzi]

na you could use the executive wiring, just the clock wouldn't work, the wiring loom just unclips. but if you were going to do it, i would do the level 3 cluster upgrade whilst you have the wiring and dash out, theres a thread on here somewhere called trippin' thats all about it. I love having the trip computer and better looking cluster.

 

[UW1SH]

Yeh i wanted to do all that with the stato dash.. im going to put the stato dash in with a level 3 cluster.. thanks man il have a look at that thread if i can find it..

 

[Linzi]

ordered some GT Sport struts for the front today, should be here in the next few weeks, and also just won the bid for a level 3 cluster with almost correct K's, very happy

 

[Linzi]

Put the new struts in, and what a difference! it rides a lot better, and its a fair bit stiffer around bends as well. Also found out that it has nolathane strut tops, and a few other nolathane bushes. After that put in some new rear quarter windows, that i filled and repainted to look like new.

Looking good mate.
Now that you have new struts buy youself a strut brace the front end will feel even better.

[Linzi]
