Faye Brother Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Tiptronic box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martynb Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Well for a car which is absolutely original apart from the wheels there seem to be quite a few bits which aren't standard - is it being a non-original original which makes it unique ?

ellis Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Tiptronic on a 93 car? Is that right? Thought that was 98 on with the VVTi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashpoint Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 May be a 98 car but is claimed to be a 93 to get an SVA rather than a ESVA which it would probably fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Not a proper facelift front bumper either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Brother Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 That's just the standard bumper with the later indicators fitted. Got an analogue clock as well. What with that and the orange dash the previous owner clearly had no taste at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 May be a 98 car but is claimed to be a 93 to get an SVA rather than a ESVA which it would probably fail. Which would make it even odder as the aerotop TTs stopped in around 95/96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Tiptronic box. Tiptronic on a 93 car? Is that right? Thought that was 98 on with the VVTi? Why are people saying it's a tiptronic? It doesn't say that anywhere, does it? It's clearly NOT a tiptronic. What's the thing you were thinking of Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Is it unique in the way that retarded people are 'special'? The interior trim has been painted in a very special way, lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Brother Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Have you looked at all the pictures, Jake? It's got the later style 'gate' type box fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Gotta be the orange flip dash surely?! That's highly unusual and almost certainly unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Have you looked at all the pictures, Jake? It's got the later style 'gate' type box fitted. Oh yeah! I totally missed that - sorry. Thing is those boxes only came on the VVTi models and the VVTi models have a completely different ECU I wonder if it works properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Brother Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Blinded by the dash, I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 True, the dash is hideous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 It isn't just a case of swopping the box, it is a complete loom change as well and ECU change... If you change the ECU, then the engine would have to be changed as well since the tiptronic was only on VVTi's... Whole world of trouble doing it, trust me *grin* Although I suppose you could just change the gear gate and that would work since it is just a selector rod...

Chase Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 It's gotta be the box. Maybe they just changed the gate - can you do that? Everything else points to it being a 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Actually it is just the selector that has been changed.... it is not tiptronic...if you look carefully, they have actually reprinted the gear lettering as well.... Nicely done actually for those who don't want the obvious auto box thing there... Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah, it appeared to be an Aerotop Tiptronic (at least it appeared that way from the photos, no idea why they didn't mention anything in the text about it), and I was thinking of Gav's car when I said it was almost unique... Sorry it wasn't more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
