silly question from a silly g60 owner can someone possibly highlight the crank bolt so just to make sure i have the right one cheers in advance Andy

cheers mate voltage reg is from gsf was very cheap and eas to fit! sorted the problem out a treat!

my old corrado vids in order of best sound

keep going mate she's gonna be a belter, wht back brakes are you running i know you have the better set up on the front! p.s i want a ride when the new V6 is in and purring!

Hi guys quick update, gave her the megs treatment this morn was quite happy shes looking quite glossy now for saying the paintwork is sh*t!!! had a few goodies in the last month or so all remedial bits but shes getting there slowly! and a few pics for you

you are right picked it up from edinburgh 6:45pm flew up from bristol, drove back and was home at 1:20am :) no spray before e38 will sort wheels and put the steels on first as i will be refurbing them myself, then i want to change the altenator as it looks shabby and i need to get a leakdown test! then when i know how healthy she is will get her sprayed coilovers you'll love it as soon as you get them on Ive had konis on my last G and not sure whats on this one but FK rings a bell well hope you do end up taking her to e38 speak soon

cheers for all the comments guys ive decided to be slightly sensible will run standard on the front 7.75 or 8's cant remember what it is on the front and 9's om the back i run 215's on the my 9J 16" borbets they were fine but the issue with the front on the RH;s is that they are 17" so 9J on 17's i think will just be too much on lock, now just need to get hold of the 2 x 9"dishes and then put my steels on ready for the refurb by hand like on my borbets melted fingers nice :censored:

if your only running 68mm the g60 cam is just as good id port the charger first before getting a cam stage 4 and chip suit each other nicely

i think maybe some cream carpets would go along way then i think dash would look ok black mate ur steering wheel looks maahoosive in that pic wat size is it! loving the leather dude

thats brilliant furkz im sure daz has got something hanging about!

Yeah I am going to edition38 ill hopefully have a few more bits done by then too ive got a induction kit and heat shield coming, ive recieved my momo wheel and mk3 VR stalks, I had all the dings taken out the other week now all I need to do is tidy up the engine and get her resprayed over the nxt year like yourself, I have to admit I do like black rado;s - is it straight black or that magic black? you should defo take the rado now the paint and wheels are done it will look spot on and be one of the cleaner rado's there what other plans have you got for her? what mk2 has the hubby got i started with a white 8valve digi I loved it! :clap:

Hi all want to start getting a few smaller scratches out of my bodywork so really want to check first what you all feel is the best compound, e.g G3 or scratch-X etc! any comments greatly appreciated Thnaks Andy

some of you may remember on my lastG I ran 9's on the back and 7.5s on the front Im about to run 9's all round on my g with 45mm adapters to make it et15 so will fit nicely now anyone got any pics or done it and would like to share any thoughts or give some advice my way cheers in advance andy

jules im liking the car lots did u manage to get 4 stud in the end as i have 4stud ZW1's on my G (sorry edit just seen the wheels dont know how i missed em) im wanting to go 9's all round now though and have ordered some 9" dishes so i hope they'll fit paintwork looks mint are you going to edition38 or any shows this year? Cheers Andy

cheers gents just seen 1 for cheap and was wondering what the possibilty was of doing this as im getting a leak down test done on mine soon to see whether its worth fiddling or whether i should start with a new g60 engine build it up myself and then swap over when finished well thats the plan at tge mo

as above guys can you put a mk3 2ltr GTI bottom end onto a g60? whats involved and what gains would you get from doing this cheers in advance Andy

junkie i did say RULE OF THUMB for modded cars (who takes there 1.4 polo on a RR day?) transmission usually takes 40+ bhp its just a known factor both my last G and my mk3 vr both at stealth RR days on Vince's machine have lost i think 38 and 40 something and my old mk2 golf digi had its claimed 112bhp at fly and only 86 i think or so at the wheels i guess that the reason it would be less on a 1.4 is that all transmission etc is lighter smaller maybe a "EXPERT" could come clear it up.

general rule off thumb you lose 40-50bhp before power hits the wheels

still love my old one....... furkz was the nuts thou

11/04/08 Update guys fitted all lupo wipers - front and rear fitted new front grill fitted new voltage regulator hopefully its done the job have brought a momo steering wheel when that comes will ne fitting the mk3 stalks in sync heres some pics guys

riley is :cuckoo: mate its a lovely car just save up send it to a reputable g-lader garage or maybe even pay a auto electrician to come have a look

cheers all for your responses can someone tell me whats more useful to see what ive got left in my engine please

neil thanks for that mate does anyone have a scale for what would constitute a good reading for a leak down test! neil have you had one done?] Cheers Andy

this may sound silly I want to get a better feel for my engine before I do anything to it! as ive decided to keep the g60 and start modding! bodywork and interior first then engine. but unike my last one which was rebuilt then i took it apart again I knew it was strong and Iknew it could take what i threw at it! so really I cant remeba what the exact right phrase is but would like to know if anyone has a clue how much a leak down and compression engine test will cost and what exactly will it tell me? Cheers in advance Andy
