i've got one of these fitted - same as kev and JMC - great addition to the car
-
first question - do you want to keep the original engine?
-
;) looks superb - how do you keep it so clean!
-
was hoping for a full engine bay shot ;)
-
would i be uncultured to say i've never heard of him? ;) cheers bud
-
cheers Karl. do you know if standard corrado subframes will work for these seats?
-
i made the choice not to get a toothed belt after reading of people having so many adverse issues from them. were you getting a lot of belt slip before? i only had my g60 up to 203bhp and 197lbs/ft but had no slip from what i recall. after reading the above - i think after changing the charger twice and an engine rebuild - i'd be tempted to fit a 1.8t - especially if i didn't have complete faith in the charger/mods around the charger.

Will 16" BBS RX fit over Ibiza Cupra R Brembo's?
_leon_ replied to BigTartanJudge's topic in Drivetrain
think dec on here had/has them and they fit - but only just. -
search for baffled sump on here - youll find the thread that has the r32 sump discussion as john says - its shaped differently - and will actually sit above the subframe - so hitting it would be extremely unfortunate. the main draw to it though is the fact its baffled. i've fitted it and had no problems - its a good mod.
-
good find mate - will enquire about them too :)
-
white ones would be a good move actually

collected a set of RS Turbo Recaros up today - £48 :) Thanks for the help guys. Who is the most reputable for restitching? Heard of MJ Interiors and Snappy Gaitors - but unsure of the quality of the latter. I've seen some of MJ's work - while the stiching is great I've not been hugely impressed with the quality of the leather used - its not as good as whats on the stock seats. Any opinions, advice or experience on this? Any help again much appreciated :)

prefer oe loom myself too. can get a brighter bulb though

@fla - from the 17th till 3rd jan - my partners from ipoh in malaysia so going back to stay there, KL for a few days and Pinang for some more lazing around :) whats your plans there? @junkie - do that give me a bell if youre down here or likewise @nadeem - it has been a while but worth it when its done - am positive youll love the end result. interesting about the arbs - i tried the g60 with the rear first, then the front and rear and preferred the combination fitted. will likely try that out again in the same order. how do you a) find the schrick and b) the diff? not fancy the 3.68 FD? Quality car - great work :) -

Cheers mate. Yeah saddened about it - hopefully wont happen again Looking at that sellers history - I'm struggling to see how someone would have stock of so many center caps from porsches and vw's... I wonder where theyve all come from... be round to see you in the new year if youre cool abotu having a go on the paintwork :)
