windscreen wiper mod
For your imformation I discovered a quick painless mod to improve the wipers on our mk1 rally car the wiper motor from a late 90's Daiwoo Cielo is a straight bolt in swap (except wiring plug) and gives a superior speed on hi and low I hope this imformation is of use to someone

Cleaning your spindles on the system is good too. Someone did a 'how to' a little while back - need to do mine as they're very slow!

lupo wiper conversion?
I am fed up with my rubbish slow wipers on my mk1 i have seen that you can do a lupo wiper converison (along with the motor) to the corrado and it apparently works really well. Just wondering if anyone had heard of this being done to a mk1 as i was tempted to give it a try.
cheers

I`ve had a mk2 gti w/motor sitting in the shed for over a year now, but haven`t had the guts to start chopping up wires. I took all the spindles bits, and greased everything up - which made a hell of a dofference. But the job needs finishing with a mk2 upgrade.
A plug `n` play option would be really nice, and hassle free! How much could you do one for me?

yep I've done this, although I haven't technically done a lupo conversion, I bought some universal aero wipers from ebay, as in ones that will fit with the old style hook fittings, they work very well, and have stopped all the nasty judders and jumping, along with the annoying squeeking, and they actually clear the screen on both the up and down sweep! 8)
some people might think they look slightly out of place, and I'm not sure I'd have them on a minter, but I'm more than happy to make the sacrifice on mine, and would highly recommend them
