  1. found a of what was supposed to be a Group S Lancia's prototype, called the ECV, it's the nuts :twisted:
  2. the post further up the thread the one with a link to the link "rs246" site has a wicked movie file of the quatro monsters gunning it round a corner, i tried top post the movie but faild to do so for some reason? i need to own one of the those UR's tho, just onec even for a little while......sound like a quatro junkie!! :lol:
  3. I am seriously thinking about selling the VR and going for a UR(quarto),
  4. i would switch to the left side for one of them any day
  5. check this out http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNp ... ic&t=42375
  6. follow link http://freespace.virgin.net/shalco.com/lancia_S4.htm :twisted:
  7. I had a similar problem with my MK1 but it turned out to be the little O-ring on the idle adjustment thing on the throttle body which had perished and was letting air in. Symptoms were the same as yours, it would go away when hot, I suppose because the rubber would expand when up to temperature and sealing the gap. It would only do it at mid level revs at first as the vacuum would be greater than at idle, but after a while it would do it then too. Don’t really know if the throttle body adjustment screw on a G60 is the same or similar that of a MK1 (should be) Just a thought, could be cheep fix. D.
  8. i did beat one of the normal 172 clio's in my MK1 16V, 8) the dude in the clio did not like that at all.
  9. the non-striped out ones are plenty fast, and the C-VR6 must weigh twice as much as that little motor
  10. As long as it don’t Squat, Dive and Roll for the nation the like the MK4 did then I think that it’s a step “back” in the right direction. V6 with turbo would be good tho. :evil:

    VR6 - MPG

    fla, I was a little bit vague about my location, in am in the Hayes Middlesex Area. Filled the motor up with BP Ultimate will have a look and see what I mileage I get, so I can do a before and after comparison. "BP Ultimate is getting expensive" :roll: Stage One will be the Temp sendor, Stage Two will be the Lambda probe. Stage Three….don’t really want to go there. :roll: Thanks D.

    VR6 - MPG

    theRuler, Have a look under your car and below the down pipe you should see a Plug/Probe type thing which is fitted into the exhaust pipe it should have two wires coming out of it, which should have some kind of heat protecting cover on it. If it has not it may have messed with hope this helps. Off for the weekend now, have agood weekend guys. Thanks. D.

    VR6 - MPG

    Oakley, "As far as I have seen when I had this problem, It gradually decreased fuel consumption and then all of a sudden I was getting between 17 and 23 MPG which was harsh. If it is your Lamda, your C will also most likely (well in my case...) stall sometimes for no reason when you come to a stop and the Idling becomes erratic. " That sound very similar to what I am experiencing, think that I will change the temp sensor first then the Lambda, Lambda: £77.14 Temp: £9.42 I live in the Middlesex area, will travel for Vag-Com until I get my own. :wink:

    VR6 - MPG

    Ford, Just read through the thread that you linked me to, nice one mate. Thought it might be the Lambda probe, but would the Cam position sensor affect it too. any other thoughts? thanks D.

    VR6 - MPG

    Hello, I have a quick question for the VR6 Crew, Q What will contribute to fuel consumption gradually getting worse? I gave the Motor a service not long ago, Plugs, Filters, Oil .etc. It used to deliver around 26-30 MPG on the daily drive, now its about 19-23 MPG. Thanks D.
  21. bigbluec, You can make them your self, I have recently made one from 4 gauge power cable (car audio stuff) and I used some gold plated terminals, also from a car audio store. I made one from the alternators to the starter and then on to the battery, this was for my Golf but the principle should be the same for a Carrado. You could just buy some from Halfords pretty sure they will sell a generic power cable. Hope this helps D.
  22. kevhaywire, will ahve another chat the man in the know and will let you know. mrbeige, i think that it is 4-2-1but i will find out foe sure
