Indeedy - looks like a balanced length inlet, presumably to be welded/fixed into a short runner. On the lower one - think Kev likes the colour scheme you get with welded stainless. :?

Whatever floats your boat! :D

So much easier with bumper & slam panel off though. Also provides the opportunity to de-rust everything up front and get plenty of Waxoyl in!

Nah then Ice That was a a good RR - good turnout and atmosphere, despite dropout rate of VRT's! I wondered if the jets normally produced high velocity, hence tendency to wear, followed by less effective direction onto the piston undersides, leading to crown overheating.

I think it's the car height that makes the difference?!

you really should though, and i enjoy my brakes as much as the power :D Indeed - apart from the feeling of security they give - big brakes certainly scare the s**t out of roundabout flower beds! :lol:

Is "snuffling round a Corrado" a Northamptonshire rural tradition then?

Could have sworn that car just winked at me ! :luvlove:

must admit i was thinking along the same lines which is why i asked in the first place its all a matter of letting air and fuel in to the cylinders My thoughts too - but when Vince did VAG-hag's back in May 2008 there were some noticeable jagged areas in the 3d plots that he does which were ironed out and resulted in a sublimely velvety smooth motor. It maybe that numbers-wise there was not a lot of difference, but driver-reward wise, to quote Kev, it was night/day. :D

Hey! If D&GA do it - I'm sure they will do it well! Regards A satisfied customer. :D

Not trying to be critical but I think a more specific request would get a hugely more focused response! Are we talking G60, Vortech, Rotrex or other here? G60 - I've heard Gwerks highly spoken of. Vortech - NS Racing are the importers and all refurbs are executed in US via NS. Rotrex - not heard of a commercial specialist but JoniVR6 up here in sunny Yorkshire has done his own refurb and may well point the way to economic advantage. Other - dunno! Hope this is helpful. :D

Hi Monkey Have just fitted my Raceland but canot answer your query as I have not yet run it. [see thread] I have however researched the CF and conclude that the bhp gain is limited depending on existing setup, possible low rev torque gain is possible. However I confirm, for sure, the audible experience gain [even on the standard VR] is outstanding, especially in tunnels! :D

Hi Mate, Butterfly's bloke here :lol: if you have access to a power point where the car is parked up you should be getting yourself one of these. my battery is 7 years old and still seems good (ie not had a problem) http://www.airflow-uk.com/index.php?vie ... onditioner :wink: We both use these on our summer toys and are dead easy to use too! if you plug it in that is (Cough!!! judith) :roll: can vouch for this bit of kit too - ideal for little used cars :D Ditto The Airflow battery conditioner is seriously good kit.

Hi Guys Finally got round to fitting my ready wrapped Raceland - purchased months ago from KADVR6 [cheers m8] Many thanks to Billcor who helped me source the connector/articulation joint plate via 2 UK companies who stopped stocking them but Kam Racing pointed me direct to an english speaking guy @ Raceland who was most helpful; details to follow. My big question : Is there a recommended orientation for the 2 spring loaded spherical joint clamp bolts? [NB This query is not targetted at the :camp: community! :lol: ] Agreed the lower manifold/headwashers & nuts are sods, especially the middle 2, but you can get your hand behind the manifold from the drivers side, though it is tight! Much easier with inlet/TB removed.

Would that be : 2 x driver's Lupos or 2 x passenger's or 1 of each? :?

Don't think it has launch control! :lol: :lol:

Nah! Vintage G12++ specially imported from the Fatherland! :D

I'm on the case! :wink:

Indeed - very droolable, but pricewise it's in 911 T territory, space/performance wise it's nearly in the RS6 arena. :?

Just had a most productive afternoon with Kip & Judith, leaving my unfortunate Corryn in severe disarray, many front end bits in need of refurb before re-assembly. Lots of s/s screws etc to get in. Gobsmacked as to how much better access you get with bumper and slam panel removal. Corryn's recovery & improvement well on-course. Photos to come. Watching Kip in action - Robo-mechanic! With senior operating nurse Judith in support! :notworthy: :clap:

:lol: No. Fork knows how I ended up in this role. Getting more interesting though... :) Dare I ask : "Will all be revealed?" :lol: :lol: :shrug:

Mr Stubbs Your blades fit nicely, but which arms did you use? :?

hi kip if phil doesn't take ur old rad are u open 2 offers? I need 2 order 1 but am waiting for a new credit card :~ g0ldf1ng3r I note "87 jetta 16v" has one available. :)
