Left my rubbers soaking in vinegar. Came up like new and didn't feel as hard as they were before.

They probably will look like this: [ATTACH]73991[/ATTACH] I can personally vouch how good these are :)
-
Just get a second hand pair mate, simple 5 minute fix?

My last VR6 engine built by stealth was rolling 221BHP. Was a beast in my golf mk2 shell :)

Here's my results :- Pitty I didn't setup club member discount until after I had sent mine off, 10% off would have been nice!

Arrival at post office according to parcel tracker ;) whoop -
I'd say so mate, but i would say that being club chairman We run regular shows/ and club organised events, have done for nearly 10 years now. Next event is rolling road day, then a welsh mountain road trip in September, then Brooklands in October :) Entirely upto you mate, everyone these days are members of multiple clubs and forums that each offer something different that benefits you.

Glad I didn't just go and buy one now. What about the Non hard type version? Bit more flexible from the mk2?

To repair or to break that is the question??

Least they put it on bricks, and not dropped it on the floor damaging brake disks and bodywork. -

Took 4 years to rebuild mine, it was unloved and needed headgasket, chains, matrix etc. doing before it drove, engine has been out twice, and had to do front sub frame and all brake hard lines too http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.126887044131.105671.512334131&type=1&l=972813345f No matter what condition its in there is hope, you can easily get a new stereo, and pick wheels up cheap enough, so start looking for parts, you don't have to rush, as I say, mine was a 4 year project and its drives superb. -
There was an interesting review of some draft 42 products on VR6OC - http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?504839 Think with a little more attention to detail they could be some sellers from them, PCV stuff looks interesting, but would it not make sense just to pick up a new valve from ford, the prices ain't that far apart?

Wanted bulk head heat shield as shown below; Also after the securing clips, and one of the threaded screws it screws into. Thanks. Pete

The 120 wasn't! I noted that on way to MOT station 2 mile up the road... The lower temps are on a spirited drive after I replaced.
-
My febi heat exchanger has been working great, oil temps have gone from 120 to around 104 - 106.

Not at all, Jim. There's only a few more steps to perform than removing the manifold. Just make sure your injectors are seated correctly after, a little bit of oil wiped onto the new seal helps. Infact, look at these video how-to's on removing the manifold and injectors ;) simples. Here is the link: http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?504673
