Looking at modifying it with some propper 1:18 scale bbs RS's but I can't find any that look good enough, has anyone seen any desent one's on there travels?

i've use powerflow there quite good, but beware not all the fitter are good.

it doesn't look like that at the moment.

Was that £100 inc postage? for a euro spec manifold? that is quite good if it was.

In what finish, standard, chrome,polished etc, and what style UK or Euro (With fitted oil cap surround like above). DAZ

lol, I know what it is, just trying to get in there quickly It is a euro spec Passat 2.9 OBD 1 manifold isn't it......................... I've already got about three in different state of bling which should be for sale soon, They can be mirror polished, chromed, gold (chrome) plated, painted etc P.M if your interested, all performance dub inlets and rocker covers outright or exchange.

How much? first dibs if price is right :) DAZ

how much did you pay for the manifold? if you don't mind me asking.

I'm looking for one of these super rare 1:24 Revell models (Not the cabriolet), first person to find me one gets a big kiss :D I've found a Cab and a Rallye but the guy wants €120 each :roll: :shock:

I was thinking that the VR's longer wishbones would counter the drop link problem, the mounting hole seem's further out than the golf's.

Hi all I brought some eibach anti roll bars for my Golf G60 some time ago, but I never got around to fitting them. Now that I have decided to 4X4 the G60 and won't be able to use the ARB's, I was wondering if I would be able to put them on the VR (Raddo). What I need to know is, are the VR6 & G60 front arb's the same size length, shape etc (I know the VR's is thicker) and if they are would I be able to drill & tap a thred into the end of the roll bar, so that it can be mounted to a VR. Any ideas? DAZ

No mate a little vax combo van :) mtc R32:- I don't think he'd go for it,....................I'l swop ya for mine at the momment. :) DAZ

It does owe him a few £'s were lucky to have a mate with a body shop or it could have been even more. He's running about 290/300 @ 22ish psi, we got just over 150 out of it on the nurburgring on the way back from worthersee :D I've not got much pics of it really but here are a few.

Theres a meet on the first monday af the month in westbromwich, I not sure what its called now but it used to be the pochers pocket on brandon way. Where's your car?

Thats the one, wine red interior, smooth bodywork, black centered 9 X 16 ATS Cups.

most of my car is at my mates bodyshop in Great Barr, your wellcome to come and have a look once its all back in one piece ( there's not much to see at the moment. Plans have slightly changed, the once standard engin rebuild has gone in a different direction :) I need to be able to see off my mate 300 bhp 20vt MK2, you might know the car as he's in Geat Barr too (black mk2 Reg : D4RK L) Keep in touch (PM) and we'll hook up some time. DAZ

As expected by many it is not going to be ready for when I leave for Worthersee :cry:( 4 days time :D), a number of things have led to a virtual stop in progress.:( I am determined that this will not turn into another project Golf G60 and not get competed, so as soon as I am back from Austria I'l be back on it.:doc:

I need to get some extra wheel clearence on the VR (wheels are sitting too far out the arches) so I was thinking about going narrow track on the front to get the extra 8mm either side, I was just wondering what I NEED to change, I was thinking, Wishbones & ball joints, track rods & ends, ( or if the adjustment is there, shorten them this way) Will this work? or will I need to swop driveshafts, hubs etc What makes the VR track wider?, is it just the wish bones or a combination of bits (hubs, ball joint etc)

Been having loads of problems with different area's of gettin the car up and running, engine, RUST :shock: it not looking good for worthersee but I'm still gonna crack on with it, as you never know what can happen More updates and Pics soon. DAZ

Very sexy ass :)

Just had some bad news to throw a spanner in the works :cry: I got in touch with Rob (engine guy) at about 9pm and he said the bottom end was worse than I'd thougth, there is excesive ware and it might not be able to be rebuilt :cry: :shock: . (Can be fixed but not cost effective) He said it looks like the oil pump had given up, leaving the crank shaft, con rods and everything else to grind away at each other , with 1mm of play in some places :shock: So now I need to find a 2.8 block to rebore to 2.9 and rebuild using my 2.9 pistons, New oil pump of course :evil:

Here are a couple of pics of yesterday afternoons adventures. *Gearbox cleaned ready for painting, *All threds, brakets and unwanted other bits removed from chassis legs and suspension turrets. *Plates cut for chassis legs. Note: I am nowhere to be seen as my Missus isnt well, so I could only pop out to take the odd photo in between taking buckets of sick to the toilet :pukeright: & feeding me ever hungry Little girl :D So big thanks to mates Mark & Am for cracking on with things :D

I know you ment plastic Welders :D The plastic welder is a guy me and all my mates use, He's in Wallsal not far from Jcn 9, M6, he's quite well priced too, he only charged me £35 for the rear bumper & £30 for the front. I'l get the number up tomorrow.

Should be quite easy to do, I'm using Very thick house carpet, as I wanted that soft Luxury feel.
