lol, what zippy said. Give it a good soaking overnight preferably in petrosin or similar. Zippy, remind me at e38 and we can do yours then if you like. Gav

i think youll find this is the same person, as its the only person ive sent any airboxes too Gav

YEP THIS IS COMPLETELY MY BAD AND ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY- the air boxes were sent out which im still waiting for post offcie to sort out (have proof of postage) the tool was meant to be posted back ages ago but wasnt due to me being an absent minded arse. Did try paypalling you but it didnt work, tried catching you online this week but got no reply. Didnt get your txt however this week. THIS WILL BE SORTED TODAY. No excuses just had a whole world of shit to sort out lately, not your problem i know. Apologies, but this will be concluded today Hoefully some of the other people we've dealt with and sent parts too will vouch on my behalf. Just like to point out this had nothing to do do with Nikki and soley my fault Gav

a sad and sorry tale....... :(

will do Gav

booo and bum thats crap. Is it just us jocks that re having a shit time of it of late? must be the black pudding. Glad your ok...thats the most important thing. Trust me i know how crap it is phoning your other half and telling them you dmaged their pride and joy...still feel guilty now. Sure Dave wont hold it against you, nowt serious and itll get sorted soon enough Gav

Its a 2.2 10v 5-pot quattro Kv engine with a measly 136bhp. Already got koni's and an aftermarket exhaust of some description. The idea is to strip it out and turbo it. Got a few bits and bobs dotted around from my audi days, but the idea is just to have a bit of very very....very very cheap fun. Cant afford to do expensive power mods so once the turbo's on and running ill be looking at saving weight, as much as possible. Got a set of twin pots from my old s2 that i can put on with some 20v coupe discs. Id like to junk the rims and get a set of compomotive mo's but will wait and see what turns up, luckily same pcd as ford (4x108) fingers crossed something will come up. The only thing that worries me is the reg plate.....looks like GAY TA....this scares me somewhat... So wotcha think? Gav

Right due to unforseen circumstances we've had to sell my rado and put the mk2 vr for sale....booo....anyhoo. I need a budget project to bugger around with, thought about buying a cheap rado but didnt really apeal as id end up spending a fortune to get it to the stage where id be happy. Sooo....always been into Audis, had numerous over the years of all different varieties. Saw this on e38 the other day, and we decided to go for it last night. Hopefully picking it up sat.

you got pm mate Gav

the rozzers just found her!!!! get in!!! Just got a phone call from the local baylon....they found mille about 10 mins away in a cul de sac. No obvious damage apparenl;ty but the fuzz are keeping it till next week. Hooooofeckin rah!!!!

all sorted, cheers Gav

is this the one at the front of the box, doesnt have an electrical plug going to it?

Whereabouts is it on the box? only one i can find is on the back of the box at the top with a 3 wire plug in it. Is this it? Cheers Gav

ahem.....excuse me? 8)

wasnt g-werkes doing a deal for the forum recently ? Gav

er...head skim? i did think the vr head could be skimmed cos the valve seats sit flush? this true or a load of old tosh? This why your vr has been awol for 3 weeks chris? Gav

yay! me too....modidied it slightly and turned it into an a-team pick up. Also had the beetle later on Nice one Gav

pics please, like dragon green got a pic of my old one, low on porker rims somewhere, will try to find it Gav

is it orangey rusty colour? if it had a water leak previously and the owner only topped it up with water without the coolant it goes that colour from the residue inside the engine. If it was all over the header tank sounds like might be why the head was rebuilt (possible head gasket) pushing the water out the theexpoansion tank cap. Or could just be the cap failed Gav

wow, I really like that, never seen a colour coded one before. don't you have to worry about heat on the paint?[/quote:6880e] charger casing dissipates the heat pretty well, no problems as yet Gav

lol, ta. We've seen a couple that i like. G4 VR and G4 VAG nice one Gav

ooooh shiny, any more pics or idea of spec? what size d/pipe is that? looks about 3"? Cheers Gav

Nikki only had the plastic cover colour coded not the actual rocker box itself Gav

Cheers for all the positive comments folks, its slowly starting to come together but im pretty pleased considering ive only had it a few weeks. Personally im really liking the spikes, so theyre staying. The rear lights were a quick afternoon job but came out ok, gotta get em off now the paints cured to key them and relaquer. Really pleased your liking what ive done so far Oakley, i know how hard its was for you sell him (yes its a him!) in the first place. By the way he's got a name now....wedge. lol Nice one Gav

:oops: yes mate they were, all sorted now, little bit over zealous to get them on
