do you know what dezent wheels they are btw?

few questions andy; 1) whats the gauge holder in the driver side air vent - is that a swg item? 2) whats the battery cover? looks peachy

Yeah thats a pretty write up of what that box is like. I'm holding off till next week when I should fingers crossed have dyno readings - and see what kind of curve i get. Been looking at the ATA/ATB boxes more too. Keep us posted with how you get on - cheers for all your help so far - its been encouraging to say the least! thanks

mines more dark dark grey - and sometimes it even looks purple from the speckles. la9v i think is the paint code.

yep its metallic black - the same as mine ;)

Shame you're selling - Met Black too! Its a lovely car... Good luck with whatever you replace it with :)

http://mehrpower.net/assets/images/Pict ... orrado.jpg is this the same colour?

2 good experiences. a friend dr_forinor rates the uniroyals highly over the eagles.

heard the uniroyal rain sports are excellent too

Just to add - well impressed with Riley's service - delivery arrived the next day - well packaged - excellent.

blimmin awful!

have 215s on mine - 16x7.5

yes

sell some and buy a car then lol

sometimes its nice being older. i pay 380 with elephant - everything declared. add your mum as a named driver - i find it lowers the cost down by around 100.

lovely :)

argghhhh - anyone for the alternator question?

had no problems with the priming - just the alternator pulley doesnt line up now

when i got the alternator - it didn't come with a pulley - so just used the old one. got a garage to air gun the pulley and fan etc off - but since then i can't remember the order or what exactly was on the old one. i've since been told vag should give you the pulley etc with a new alternator. seems the pulley and alternator fit fine but arent matched to align properly with the other pullies. heres a pic - does that look the same as everyone else's?

no probs - need bigger brakes in the future anyway so i may not have these wheels in a years time. thanks for trying though andy - appreciate the help :) good luck getting the others sorted!

any modded g60 could be labelled as 'ruined'. but people mod because it's what they want to do regardless. so no disrespect intended, but i don't think theres a huge amount of value in saying that. Scoobyboy1 - you choose as you're paying! theres a good few people who can give you comparisons of what a well tuned g60 is like to a 20v - some people on this thread already in fact.

i don't have a quote no - but if you are able to give me a rough idea of price then i'm sure that'd be fine. cheers andy

sure thing - not disputing that at all - just highlighting you can soon get through serious money on a g60. and once you've done the cheap stuff and want more power still - the rest starts to get pricey. i'd ignore the figures and decide what you want from the car first - all have very different characters

bare in mind going beyond the common tuning (rebuilding and porting your charger, chip, pulley etc) gets very expensive. going 1.9 on the bottom end isn't a cheap option (£1600+) - and changing your charger to a BBM screw charger is around £1500. IHI Turbo'ing your G60 engine in place of the G-Lader will get around 220bhp (approx iirc) and you wont get 300bhp from it unless you also rebuild to 1.9, exchange the head and get a decent map - plus buy anything else you need/want. A few people on here have done the IHI turbo conversion - it costs around £2300 from Jabba. Just making you aware of the costs - you could quickly get through a couple of grand going beyond the basic mods. Its not as cheap as the earlier posts might lead you to believe. Theoretically speaking - for around a similar price as the big g60 jobs - you could fit a VR engine with a supercharger. but then you want engine mounts, suspension, brakes, gearbox work, list goes on... LOL You'd maybe be best to sort the rest of the car before the engine itself.

plus i could actually send my originals to get the diamonds cut in them. i'd prefer to do that really.
