vr6storm

why oh why! just think if he can afford to WASTE £16k on that PoS then he could have managed to get a decent Corrado and insure it and even mod it(tastefully of course) and had STYLE by the bucketloads :wink: 8)

......oops better post up about swfblade's C then :wink: anyway...........nice looking C you have there m8 8)

i came out of a very nice 318ti into my VR6 and HAVE NEVER once regretted it......even tho i also found the 318ti quite an enjoyable motor to drive.........though having said that even tho there is quite a price differential between the A3 T and the S3 i would rather save a bit extra and go for the S3 for its slightly more beefier look and the fact its more than decent enough performance standard

yip Tom Ingram had that in his charger-equipped VR a few years back.......looked well classy 8)

its a VW......why on earth put on a BMW-tuner's wheels???????.......

if you want exclusivity then get a 2.0 8v auto :wink: the reason why you see more VR6's than G60's is mainly because the G60 was really only for sale from late 91 to late 92...early 93 at a push...........ok it was available from near enough launch but as you know only LHD so it wasn't exactly a huge seller....whereas the VR was on sale from mid 92 til late 95-early 96 so almost 3 times as long in RHD format :wink:

or it could be the hydraulic clutch leaking too(at the pedal)...........well my 944 turbo's one went and totally soaked the driver-side footwell in hydraulic fluid :roll: :mad:

Probably, remember the Allegro was british built Shhhh Roddy might hear. too late i've heard you all dissing the allegro

Me three! :) Me four!!!! :wink:

early-mid 1992 is when the 2.0 16v superceded the 1.8 16v.......in fact Autocar roadtested the 2.0 16v C in may 92 IIRC

Pm ess_three from this forum as he is pretty knowledgable when it comes to S3's.........give him a few days to get back to you tho......as he's on his way off-shore today :wink:

found some pics i took of my previous motor just before i traded it in........anyway it was a 1995 M-plate BMW 318ti(Sport-pack) 1.8 16v-140bhp with the following BMW sport seats in anthracite cloth M-tech Suspension M-tech side rubbing strips M-tech M3 style lights BMW-BBS 17inch split-rims 8) Black BMW "kidney" grille thought i would miss it when i traded it in for the storm but the drive back from edinburgh made sure i've never once regretted it 8) ......even so it was still a nice car to drive(even with the older E-30 type rear suspension) anyway bought this when i went to look at a 8-valve C at my local stealers and kept it for just over 2years and 26k miles

normally only working on speed 4 is a sure sign of a blown thermal fuse have a look at this very excellent guide to fix it :wink: http://website.lineone.net/~quigger/heater.htm

ok i'll lock it up for now :wink:

iIIRC there is a slight variation with the 8valver..............but can't remember for the life of me what it was :wink:

if you're meaning the 16valve Golf engine found in the mk3 :?: its a different engine from the 2.0 16v found in the 2.0 16v C

imagine typing that into a sat nav :wink:

Hehe - All that way for a 6 pack of IRN-BRU... you Scots, I dunno :lol: na mate.....its cos i heard their fuel price was £0.00000000000000000001p less than my local filling station was :wink:

Come on Roddy, we know theres not really any supermarkets in Scotland :wink: LOL funnily enough the supermarket i filled up at was in Leicester! :lol: :lol: :lol:

i think ive only ONCE in nearly 3 years of C ownership filled up/used supermarket fuel.........too many scare stories put me off......and also the fact the Shell filling station is under a mile away from me......whereas the nearest supermarket fuel is 2-3miles away so any saving would more than likely be minimal due to the extra miles to fill up :wink:

or (much as it pains me to say this)....ENGINE TRANSPLANT time........20VT or TDi :wink:

around town its not quite as refined as the original dampers(obviously)......but show it some country roads and M-way action and its damn better IMHO.............just briefly had a drive in dubster82's FK-equipped G60 last year and they're decent enough i prefer the Koni's tbh as iv'e also driven Skid's Koni-equipped G60 a few times and that feels better, again IMO :wink: ........i'm sure you'll be well impressed with them and see how much a steal you've got :wink:

i wouldn't pay too much over £1k for it......maybe £1.5k at a push only after having a proper gander at it

yip well £699 from TSR......tho i thought i'd done well getting them for £650 at INTERS last year (from TSR :wink: )....so £550 IMO is damn decent!

......and i forgot to mention to my old Ur-quattro had the battery under the rear passenger seat!
