ChildeRoland

Hmm just saw a silver raddo in eastbourne anyone on here? I was in my mates Polo at the time so you wouldnt have noticed me :wink:

Hmm mine could do with new bushes too...anyone know the part number for the original rear bushes? Cheers

Ah I love the GT500...but I'm currently entertaining the idea of a Pro Street C4...Supercharged 393ci :) mm :usa 9k with about another grand needed to complete it...but its got receipts for 39 grand and the engines done under a 100 miles since the rebuild...it is perfect beyond words...

Mines from the TS Elliot poem, Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came...love his work its so delightfully bleak :wink: Other names I go by include House, RedBeard, BigLad, Basultis, MiniMav (I'm big but the other Mav is 6'3" and 26 stone) ...the list is endless really.

Lo matey I live jsut outside eastbourne over toward battle (little village of boreham street) There are a couple in ebourne - a black g60, blue vr6 (leather) green storm owned by old man who harldy ever drives it, nugget yellow valver...and most recently I've been seeing a k regged blackberry (could be wrong though cos its usually pretty dark) at my gym late evenings. Lastly theres my own Dragon VR6 :) Which is currently in the bodyshop and ios then off to Designa Dubs up in basnigstoke to get the timing chains seen to...and maybe a shrick too if corradovr6sc sells me his ;) pretty please? Anyways hope to see you around..

Welcome aboard...personally I'm going down the powerflow route..and now that DesignaDubs has relocated I'm hoping to get it fitted within the month...Anyways good luck and may your charger last for ever.

This particular MK2 VR comes to No Rice at guildford every month so you shouldnt have a problem running across it :) And eprformance wise its great its what got me hooked on VRs in the first place

Ah I see you've found Pola's pide and joy although I believe the discoball now resides in the racer MK2 :) From my exp the drive is very smooth so there

I think mine gets roughly 300 miles + on about 40 pounds of 95 RON

I've been leaking ?something? for a while now since i bought the raddo AA man doing the vehicle check reckoned it was a fuel leak and Matt at DesignaDubs gave it a full check but couldnt find it...Well at the Bovingden Airfield I was racing a G40 on the 1/4 when white steam rises form the engine and it seems I've actually had a small leak in the main coolant hose that leads to the head and basically I've now split it open REALLY badly....This was not the best time for this to happen it was only my first race of the day and I had no spare coolant or water...A trip to a local garage got me coolant and the nice Team Guru guys gave me a HUGE water can so I was able to carry on racing...but then I had to go home....I hit rush hour M25 then M23...In the middle of the heatwave...With nowhere to stop...the heat rises....the steam builds...the warning light flashes...eventually as the water in the coolant system evaporates the sensor stops telling the fan that there is a problemn so even the fan stops working...soemhow I managed to get home with only having to pour more water in once (M23 verge) so I reckon I got off lucky plus the coolant hose should be here tomorrow :) various garage peeps rekcon my head gasket will of gone since I had to drive home with an overheated engine but the car still starts and runs fine so I dont rekcon it can be. Please could someone tell me how obvious is the head going on the VR6 engine? Cos I'm guessing it'd be pretty easy to spot since most cars you immediately notice the prob wheras my local garage is telling me it could of gone anyway and i jsut wouldnt of noticed...Any help would be appreciated.

I'm a uni dropout whos prolly gonna end up at the local VW stealers So if anyone lives near eastbourne come on over and I'll see what I can work out (starting december) At the mo I'm working as a doorman for one of the local clubs... at least it pays for the petrol :)

Yep bleed em over and over again...they'll take a while to bed in too so dont rag it around too much for the first hundred miles or so.

I saw a red Raddo on the marsh road down south in between Battle and Pevensey (East Sussex) waved not sure if you noticed cos I was coming pretty fast round a corner..
