have to say if someone refuses my business i dont give them a second chance - theres always someone else who'll be glad to have your custom. just my 2p

why wont they do it?

;) good stuff. Its almost too nice to go on track!

would it ever go on track? .... get those pics matey?

Personally I love those wheels. Well done for finding them. Its such a personal thing though.

it does look a little sped up to me... I prefer this one http://videos.streetfire.net/hottestvid ... 2A89C1.htm ;)

Its the want for perfection mate ;)

I've got a spreadsheet detailing all of my costs for it - in the past 15 months i've already spent near double the initial cost of the car on restoring/upgrading it...

you should really tell folks after that 20+ page thread was running!

cheers for that - i stand corrected! the housing w3as only a fiver (approx) so just got it at the same time. did you re-use the spring clip?

Thanks to you both so far :) I'm changing the pas pump and various water pipes etc so all in that general area... should i be replacing the pipe clip used instead of a jubilee? Read accounts that the torque setting on these are important due to the weakness of the plastic... anyone else used the neuspeed stuff?

You have to get both low temp bits together else it will play up. I am assuming #13 in that diagram is the housing - but needing confirmation as i've read about sensors here and there - just not 100% sure where these bits are.... Someone lend some advice pls!!

Since I'm dong a full coolant flush and replacing various pipes this weekend - I want to replace the thermostat while I am at it. From the searches/reading I have done so far it seems the housing is best to be replaced as well. What else should I be replacing? Has anyone any part numbers of these items? I'm not going to replace the water pump just now. Have also seen a thread mentioning about using a neuspeed low temp thermostat and fan switch - are these worth doing? Any advice welcome! EDIT: found this diagram - can anyone tell me what is needed (numbers will do) :) thanks and also this is the url for the neuspeed stuff... http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/vw%20golfmk3/engine.html

what head are you using?

looks to me like zinc primer - dont knwo how he did it - but it looks good and hope mine looks similar

it'll be like this: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/download.php?id=8219

getting a matt black powdercoat finish on mine (see G-Lader's members gallery for an example). Should have it back lunchtime tomorrow.

how do you distinguish the profiles? everything so far has worked for me despite being oblivious towards profiles...

yep - my thoughts there.

I'm amused by it though!

PhatVR6 was briefly talking about this sometime back on a thread I was posting on - 'Who rebuilds driveshafts?'. I have the usual list of work I want to get through - just trying to determine the most cost affective (yet pleasing) route to go through them - i.e. i don't want to have to repeat work in the same area. Did you need custom pipework for the intercoolers (assuming you have full length ones) post the conversion? believe these 2 cars are somewhat tuned beyond g60daves

sure there was some discussion on this recently - but how much can your cv joints/driveshafts handle? Especially under that load you both are putting them through

tell me about it! I can't work fast enough on this project...

rare i ever meet another Leon let alone on here! i am considering it - but have a LOT of work to do first beforehand. The sooner I get the engine out and start work on it the better really. Just thinking of timescales and cash to do it. All this information is great though and certainly very interesting/encouraging.

becoming confusing with 2 leons posting on this thread ;) what suspension setup have you got just now?
