  1. It should be light brown in colour,try to add a wire for the battery earth or chassis ground to it and see if it makes a difference first .
  2. have a search for uprated headlight loom,but i added to my previous post that it still sounds like you have a poor earth on the passenger side.
  3. so there is nothing wrong with it :lol: sounds normal,in this case an uprated loom is probably best as they are poop. But it still sounds like your passenger side has a poor earth.
  4. this wont help as you have an electrical fault and i suspect a poor earth,try to substitute an earth to the effected headlight and see what happens. You say both headlights are dim,have they always been like this or just happened?
  5. Was just asking about uprated loom as they cause many problems,the ballast causes the headlights to come on dim when switched to sidelights but i have had them cause the lights to stay permanently dim, disconnecting it removes it from the circuit,im assuming you have checked the fuses etc?
  6. the earths situated around the battery,at the rear, and check the connections are good that go to the back of the headlights and the plugs that fit on the bulbs also The ballast is on the inner wing next to the battery,about 4" long and 1 round with two yellow wires, disconnect this and see what happens. You dont have a uprated loom fitted do you?
  7. have you checked the earth's,and have you removed the ballast resistor?
  8. Yea the standard management is full of crap,N249 valve is rubbish,this controls the diverter valve.....that was binned,crappy N75 valves....yet more rubbish,but as for comparing it to MK4 based cars im undecided as there is no MK4 based 1.8t Quattro only 4 motions and R32's so not sure its comparable? But thats typical stock cars all censored so you cant have to much fun,but put the right parts on and its not the same car.
  9. front tow eye and on the rear of subframe or jacking point holes in floor up front.
  10. toyota rav4...cheap and amazing in the snow plus the reliability of toyota 8) Stay away from heavy 4x4's they are crap in snow mud ect...something with a Monocoque constriction would be best.
  11. you take the vacuum off the pipe under the manifold...?
  12. In standard form they are dull,like my mates car and you can say the same about a corrado,once you have sorted the suspension and roll bars for good upgrades it transforms the car and is very nimble around the twistys and it will leave the corrado for dead...as for boring power delevery...er well... yes it is, but cos of the small turbo delivering all the torque low down...but yet again very tunable to get more out of them. Oh and all wheel drive in the UK climate is amazing.....yes thats grip on wet roads all year round :lol:
  13. first time ive seen your car at vwf and i must say its stunning,fair play to you for making it look as good as it is 8)
  14. you need one of these to loose that pipework... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Medium-65mm-2-5-D ... 288wt_1137
  15. looking well mate...but its not red !!!!! :tongue:
  16. No matter how good the caliper is limiting it to a small diameter discs wont help,but if you need to keep it that size use good quality parts to help it along,standard 280mm brakes fade fast ! but in a 20vt.... :shrug: can you not squeeze in a 288 disc?
  17. well i used them on a 310 disc and they work well with red stuff pads,280mm on a na VR6 will be fine just use a good pad choice :D
  18. - was born and raised in capetown SA - has an unhealthy obsession with 6 cylinder engines 8) - can grow a full beard in one week!
  19. My old VRT (now Coullstars) ran willwood 6 pots due to the same problem as you are having,they dont have dust seals, but if you maintain then and dont let the pad get so low as to expose the pistons to the elements for to much of the year they will be fine,but if left unattended and unclean from salt etc they will seize up. They are light and narrow and work well,defo worth it if you need the space.
  20. I forgot your car is all stripped out and light...its going to be mental quick 8) and your gearbox does not stand a chance :lol:
  21. My 35r on my first VRT was just like that,you are going to love the fact your going to spin up in every gear :lol: you gone for the 1.06 housing? you going for all out power?
  22. stick to the tied and tested insurers like flux,brentacre etc....they dont dick you about !
  23. I cringed when they brought that MK1 into play.....thought they would have killed it like the XR3i and the GSI but they didn't mark it .... phew!
