I've been told that the MY00 UK have a variable wash/wipe on the front wipers.

If this is true, can these be fitted to a MY99 UK car, and what parts would I need to do this???

Thanks
Andy

 

Andy,

Yes it does, on the the wiper stalk there is a bit you can turn which allows (from memory) 4 different speed settings.

Aside from needing the wiper stalk I have no idea where the electronics which control it would be.

Surely with all the things you have/or want to change on your car you'd have been better to buy a newer car.

Ron,

This was posted on behalf of a friend with a MY99 UK car!!

I don't feel that I've spent too much money on modifications for my car!!!

I think I've spent about £25k so far!! Although that is for everything on or in the car!! Bearing in mind that takes into account what I've bought before for my MY97 car, I don't think it's that much!

What car can perform like mine, for about the same money??

Fair enough, I now might be able to stretch to a second hand P1, but this way I can do the modifications bit by bit! Rather than outlay the whole sum, and STILL want to modify it!!!

With my insurance at around £800, I'm not complaining either!

I don't think I've done too badly either. I think it looks good and performs well (considering it's not had an ECU modification - yet!!)

There are guys who have just concentrated on just styling, or just performance, or just stereo and have spent more money than me. I feel I have a nice blend of all three without it breaking the bank!! You don't seem to be judging their use of their money!!

Yes I will probably spend more money on the car, but on sensible things like brakes, or stereo which can be moved from car to car!!

I have a MY99 car, and I think it's new enough for me, and is fine for the next few years. Although I may be tempted with an STI7!! We'll see!!

I didn't realise I had to justify what I do or don't buy for my car!!

Andy

PS - I thought this may have been of interest for other owners, rather than a judgement on my spending!!

 

WOW Tiger
I didn't mean to upset you, or your use of money, god knows I've spent a bl**dy fortune over the years, I've just noticed a trend of changing things from newer cars onto older ones, I think your cars is very nice (not that I've seen it in the flesh).
My car is gradually becoming more modified so I certainly wasn't making a judgement.
Sorry if I offened.

Sorry Ron, but I took the above comment as a dig!!! A bit of an outburst I know!!!

It's just that you sounded like my mum for a bit!!!

Let's get back to the variable wash/wipe. I'm interested.

Fiasco
