Nope 7.5 is fine.

May give a little more but not much. Fair bit lighter though. The VR's gearing is not suited to the 1/4 mile. 3.68 final drive will help.

Ok cheers Kev. I'll ask the question.

I could do but after 150ki ts probably best to renew them. I ve always been advised when changing cams to renew the followers. Just wondered if anyone has used these makes before.

Anyone?

I ve got a set of 264 which i'll be throwing in soon so going to change the followers as is recomended. I ve come across a guy on ebay who selling these very cheaply £65 for a set of 12 delivered!!!! Only question is will these be a load of balls? will be made by either luk or febi bilstein. Here's the link. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120075193307&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Fcgiurl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%252Fws%252F%26fkr%3D1%26from%3DR8%26satitle%3D120075193307%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1

Yeah took me half an hour to fit my VT front mount. The same again for the gearbox mount. Rear is a little more difficult so maybe hour (havent changed this one yet, but its next on the cards)

Cam slots should line up. Dont forget that the slots are off centre, so might have to rotate a few times to get it all lined up. Set to TDC using the markings under the rubber cover on the top of the gearbox.

^ yeah my main water pump made a nasty noise when it went, I thought at the time it was chain tensioner etc. Take the belt off and see if the noise is still there.

Accel pedal is always stiff due to the spring set up. Fit a 2.8 throttle (or better still big bore 2.8 throttle) for a softer pedal.

Would also like to know this. Also whats best to use the metal ties or jubilee clips? Kad I ve had a look around and the cheapest I ve seen is on ebay.

Indeed will fit either!

What bore is your system? surely that has the most effect on back pressure?

I have the same with mine, although its still on the original clutch as far as i am aware @150k. I am pretty sure its the rear engine mount. I ve just fitted a vibratechnics comp front mount and a new gearbox mount. I now get very little movement using the accel pedal on/off but when I rush the change it tends to lurch. I am going to replace the rear mount as I ve done the rest hopefully this will cure the problem. If not I am having the chains and clutch done in a couple of months ....

Yeah think there 5x112

Stealth Racing are highly recommended for a decent remap. Is it still running standard cams? if so get a set of cams in there something like 268's or 264's.

Has it been remaped with the above mods? I'd guess 210-220.

Fitted to the corrado storm and golf MKIII Highlines, (and colour concept?) as standard. they are 15"Diameter by 6.5"Width. if your GTi is 5 stud they will fit fine. As for cost depends on condition and tyres ect anything from £100-£250 I would guess.

Hard to say chap. best just to grab a tape measure and get a rough reading, what I ended up doing to mine just to make sure.

Easy to change 3 bolts one end, undo the lambda slip off the other end. I run one seems to give a little more in the upper rpm regions. o and it also doesnt stink when your heavy with the right foot.

Howdy! :rainbowafro:

umm tempted to go cream ....

The bulbs are clear. The gauges have an orange background/filter. You need to cut open the gauge and lightly sand the orange filter off, then just fit green bulbs or use green bulb/glass paint.

coming upto 150k. No problems and still producing the goods!

Welcome chap!
