Chobis Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Congrats on the new purchase. Certainly looks the goods and has some nice mods happening. My question is....... What made you sell the Caldina? I have been considering one of these as a daily simply because they are still rare, especially here in SA. I was looking at Stagea's but all of a sudden they seem to be everywhere. Did you have any probs with the Caldina? Any idiosyncrasies of the car I should know about? Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Meh my KE10 can beat that.... :| Nice ride!! Wait till you get a country run in her! Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 very nice, well done on getting a manual TT too. Looks very clean, hopefully the mechanical side of the car (including the electrics....) are just as good. Quote
Trev Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 very nice, well done on getting a manual TT too. Looks very clean, hopefully the mechanical side of the car (including the electrics....) are just as good. Its ok, You only have to remove half the dash to fix the headlight relay hi/low beam fault :| Quote
