    Hiya.

     

    Took a look as to why my headlights flapped up and down today!

     

    Took them out to find the securing screws looking like this;

    Anyone know what parts I'd need to secure them back in and how they actually attach?

     

    Also, one of the top securing plastic tabs has snapped - would it be easier just to get new lights or are they repairable? Want them looking neat and safe prior to going for an MOT! In there current state they would fail!

    Historically, we have had other cars running, usually at the end of the day... at a rolling road we organised a few years ago at powerstation we had a couple of rari's running :) so no limitation as to what runs, its all about people getting together, and having a good day in my opinion :)

     

    The only restriction is that the rolling road is 2 wheel drive only, so 4x4, r32's 4mo's wont be able to run unless you fancy disconnecting your rear wheel drive... I think on some models its as simple as removing a fuse, but dont quote me on that, and obviously you would only be getting a power reading from the front wheels only so not sure how this would affect the output figures?

    Hi All,

     

    The VR6OC have arranged a rolling road day at Stealth Racing, historically, this has been a brilliant day, and attracts a good number of VR6's.

     

    You dont need me to tell you the Reputation of Vince/Stealth Racing.

     

    Prices are £25 for 2 runs, and a printout - which I think is reasonable.

     

    The date of the event is 1st May 2011, further information can be read http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum ... php?417714 as it becomes available.

     

    Location:

    Stealth Racing UK, Units 6 & 12, Warwick House Industrial Estate, Banbury Road, Southam, Warwickshire, CV47 2PT

    Phone: 01926 812259 Fax: 01926 817739

     

    Things to check before you put your car on the rolling road!

     

    - Tracking / Camber - if your car’s tracking / camber is out, this can cause the car to pull to one side, and may not give accurate figures.

     

    - Suspension height - If your car is too low, you may not be able to get onto the rollers, please raise suspension to an adequate level.

     

    - Oil Leaks - If your car has an oil leak, it would be recommended to rectify prior to running on a rolling road, also check your oil levels to ensure you are not running low!

     

    - Coolant - Likewise, please check for coolant leaks, and top up as required prior to running on the rolling road.

     

    - Food - Bring some food, as there is not much in the way of shops near to Stealth Racing (Petrol station situated just around the corner from Stealth Racing.

     

    Please let me know via way of reply if you plan to attend, or wish to run on the rolling road.

     

    Thanks for reading, and hope to see some of you there to balance out the Golf VR6 owners ;)

    Thanks Ian.

     

    I will get one ordered tomorrow.

     

    I have managed to save my self some money by spending some time on my current bonnet latch, after reading the horror story on here, I've manipulated it and given it plenty of lube over the last couple of days and its now good as new! will continue to manipulate and lube over the next few days!

    Hiya, thanks for the warm welcome.

     

    not sure what Im doing with the corrado once done! going to be a struggle running 2 cars as it is! but I will hopefully be at some of the VR6OC shows this year as ive not had a VR6 for over 2 years (running and on the road that is)

     

    I fancy doing some drag strip and possibly hill climbing though! I dont think I will go back to the ring... I think a wrote off VR6, 1.5k fine and a double hernia was enough for me!

     

    Sorry about the wheels mate :) They were awesome!! especially with the big brakes I had on it the mk2! suited it well.

     

    got a few more sh*tty jobs do on the corrado, bonnet cable etc... but at least everything mechanically is ok!

    Replaced Earth Lead from bonnet > bulkhead plus new expansion tank - Flushed rad and topped up with G12++

     

    Ian.

     

    Is that strap actually needed? Mine fell apart!

     

    Not sure, I guess VW fitted it for a reason? The original had nearly broken at the bonnet hinge end, hence the reason I replaced it.

     

    Ian.

     

    Where did you get the strap from matey? Do you have part number?
