The Golf VR BBS look pretty slick I think.
-
Cheers for that buddy, think i'll have a purchase of those. Since they're behind the plastic the finish of the metal is unlikely to get any worse!
-
Sounds cool to me. Black tape on the actual instrument cluster? Any pics mate?
-
I know the DDI ones are probably the best to get but don't know if i can stretch to the $85 at the minute! Anyone tried these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DIAL-RINGS-VW-VOL ... dZViewItem Or can recommend a decent alternative to the DDI's?
-
Thanks for the reply, what problems have you had with GSF bits? I've got most of my VR and G60 stuff from there and am yet to have a problem. I was thinking along the lines of getting most of it from VAG and seems to be the common response.
-
Seem to have settled on the following list to sort out my car Clutch, chains & tensioners, valve stem seals head gasket & bolts. Gonna get some Silkolene as well after a chat with oilman My question is where do people recommend getting these bits from? Is GSF stuff Ok or should i stick to VW?
-
Thanks for the advice guys. Clutch and chains/tensioners are definites just was considering if its worth throwing more money at it. I'm not that great with a spanner but got some good mates who are, so I won't have to spend TOO much on labour, just buy them a drink or 3! Fidanza... flywheel? What about engine mounts, worth changing? Vibratechnics still the daddies?
-
It's still on the original chains & although they MIGHT last a lot longer I thought I'd rather be safe than sorry :) . Why do you say that?
-
Sooooooooooo it's a 93 VR with 127k miles. Engine has been running well but with a bit of blue smoke on the overrun. It has started smoking slightly under acceleration as well now. Anything i can do to find out if it's head or bottom end? Anyway yesterday clutch went bang so I'm gonna try and kill as many birds with one stone as I can. Gonna change clutch & have chains done as well for definite. Anything else that people would recommend? Cheers in advance Jay

Thats what i thought mic_VR but theres no sucking from either pipe??
-
Just a quickie why do i have two clear pipes? Binned the carbon canister a while ago for a BMC air feed and went to have a look after reading this thread and I have two clear ones. I get that one is a vacuum and the other is a vent but neither seem to be sucking any air in? Do i still bother to block one off?
-
What caliper paint did you use Goldie?
-
Nah after the remap i'm pretty much done... i think!! :oops: I've seen 16's with 312's but i'm 99% sure that 288's will be fine. Looks like you've given me the 1% I was missing! Is it an instant difference you find... or more push the pedal harder & there's the difference?
-
^^^^^^ Beat me to it^^^^^^^^^ Was just looking for that! All you need to know is there Crooky just wait for a cold night full of dense air! If you can't hear it then who knows!.......
-
Yup very strange. Is it standard!?
-
Those Kia Prides are fairly rapid!!!
-
You should DEFINITELY be able to hear the G-Lader!! Maybe you were expecting a high pitched whine a la eaton type chargers found on Mini Cooper S for example? The G60 is a bit more subtle, much deeper & if it's totally standard i'd expect it to be a lot quieter than a GTS-T. Are you sure its not just an 8v :D In all seriousness wait til you get the charger serviced or you'd need to compare it to someone local with a G60?
-
Glad to hear you're enjoying these! They are next on my list along with a remap. I've got 16's so I could probably fit bigger under there but i fancy retaining some originality. Plus i also understand the difference between 280's and 288's is massive (Thanks to the calipers mainly) but after that the difference is quite small.
-
Yeah...damn her spelling... ^^^^^^ :lol: :-P It was a joke mate! Was trying to be ironic but if i have to explain it I guess it just isn't funny!
-
It's a shame she carn't spel...
-
Looks wicked mate, the pic in your sig makes the Speedlines look bigger than 15 as well! Top job!
-
Aren't the first set Borbet E's? Excellent wheel choices I think, both of them look like they could be factory spec and both look the part 8) . I had BBS RX on my G60 and very nearly bought Borbet E for my VR and neither will disappoint. Personally i would say 17s for looks but 16s as a comprimise as they still fill the arch nicely and won't give you crashy ride or tramlining.

What do you get when you mix MK1+R32+TURBO ?

Wheelspin!!? -
Patrick, don't encourage him! Saw his G60 for the 1st time the otherday and it sounds lovely! Al is busy with a certain VSR Saturday! Back on topic though RWD must transform the way a Corrado drives, would be cool to find out what its like! (We just need to wait for Stel to see this and volunteer his guinea pig.... i mean car!)
