I know what you're saying, I've been trying to justify it to my self for a bit. But I'm doing the engine anyway and the last thing I want is for the engine to rip the car to bits, and I suppose it would be almost a brand new car! Plus there isn't another car that I fancy at the mo, well apart from a 993 porsche turbo!!! James, who is the owner of JBS Autodesign is sh1t hot and has done some top conversions I'll try and find the website so people can have a look. I trust him totally, he's got one of those no bullsh1t attitudes.

Not sure if I've asked this before, but.... My C started life in Hull full of lovely sea are and salt! It needed loads of underside welding last year and cost me a fortune just to keep, hence why I'm getting a hefty bank loan and making a proper job of engine and body. I went to see a bloke called James at JBS Autodesign (I'm sure they had a stand at inters, they're pretty into the REVO stuff at the min, and built a 300+bhp golf cab). He's a top bloke and a quality sparyer. After he fixed the bottom of the C he said it looked like it'd had a rough lifeand it could do with ripping apart and totally re-building. The price was around £3k, for a total resoration, he then said the paint would last another 10years. Just wondered what everyone thought. I'm putting a X-Flow in soon and don't want the fasted shed in Rotherham, and don't really want to waste money on a cheap job to last for 12months. I know his work is awesome and I trust him with the car, which in my book counts for a lot. What do y'all reckon? Cheers ppl

I wish I had a saxo westcoast or a corsa sri, so I could get one of these and show it off!! My favorite bit is where it says "It sounds better than an actual turbo conversion!" I bet it makes a 1.1 go just as quick as a turbo too. What will they sell next, pre-recorded dump valve CDs?" "It sounds better than an actuall dump valve and can be played with as much treble as standard citreon speakers can handle! This is the ultimate partner for your exhaust whistle!" "Get that woosh sound at the push of a button but a fraction of the cost!" :lol: :lol:

I'm gonna forget that 3K total strip down and respray of my car and try and find that bloke to do it for me on the cheap :lol:

JESUS :shock: :shock: How did you manage to get that to fit?? Would it do a bit too much cooling on a g60 though? P.S. That's one hell of a spec list Biggerbigben!!!!

I was asking this the other day. If you go for a reallye one then you have to get hold of a u-bend too, but if you go for one off the golf g60 I think it's pretty straight fit. I think. PM Henny he's the man to talk too, he pointed me in this direction and has done it him self.

Big up to "Biggrim" for the wiper mech. He's a top bloke, for posting it so quick! Cheers mate RACK

At the mo I've got J*** RRJ Looks ok seen as my name is John Rackham, so everyone who knows me thinks I bought it, but the one I'm pricing up is J** RAK. What's anyone think???

Jo, nice come back!!! P.S. my photo is on page 2 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ah the trusty angle grinder, if there is a more versatile power tool, I don't want to know about it!! :lol:

Cheers henny. I'll have a look about for a Golf G60 one then. The last thing I want is a powerfull engine full of hot air! Thats about what I was expecting to pay. Did that price from Darren include everything you needed?

C.Will that looks like a well tidy job, nice work. Plus I have the same battery as that :lol: Blown I'll pm LowG pretty soon I was just wondering which will be the easiest and cheapest? Due to the fact I'll be running a X-flow soon oh and the fact the standard one is poop!! Any more ideas would be greatly appriciated Thanks loads peeps RACK

I've gathered that a few people on here have fitted a rallye intercooler to the front of their C. How hard is it to do and how much are we looking at? I heard that pitstop were making one, but still haven't had chance to get in touch (sorry beavis, I'm still stuck at work 12 hours a day!!)

I've only just seen the pic of Jo. mmmmmm

Cheers mate. Does has anyone got an idea about the S2 intercooler???

I've just had a little look on e-bay and found some Raceland Coilovers going for 41 quid at the min. Has anyone got these and what are they like, Also seen an Audi S2 intercooler for 50 would this be able to be made fit my G60??? Cheers ppl RACK

Congratulations mate

I'm 23 with 5yrs NCB and I'm paying £880 TPFT at the min with mods declaired and a CAT1 alarm, oh and it's garaged. But after the X-Flow goes in it's going upto about £930.

Cheers Henny

Here's a pic of me messing about at work... Told y'all I'm a big 'un!!! *mod edit - pic sorted for you - Henny*

I finally got a piece of my mates CTR last night on a dual carrigeway and a bit of the twisty stuff. In all honesty there wasn't that much between my G60 and his. From low down I had him big time, but then the vtec kicked in, and he levelled up. Round the country lane though I made a right mess of him, the main reason being, the lanes are full of really tight bends and there's not much chance of getting to the top of the rev range, so the low down torque of the G60 really helpped. Can't fault it though, it's a quick car. I'll drive over him though, once the X-Flow is up and running :lol:

I'm a fracture and fatigue technician for Corus (formally British Steel) Or to put it another way. I break, crush and smash things in various way, and tell people how good, or how bad their material is.

It looks stunning mate! I was speaking to steve about it the other day, and from the conversation, the power I'll get will be worth the wait. Also the sould will be something else too! :mrgreen: While my mate is building the engine up, I might send the charger down for a check up if that's ok? Also, anymore news on the bigger IC? I've just got to start saving for the re-spray now (will the spending ever stop :lol: :lol: )

The C handles better. I went from a Mk1 GTi (Lharsa Green and still miss the thing badly!!) The you still get the chuckability but it seems a bit more comtrolled in the G60. I used to love the power off the Mk1 too, out of the corners but with the charger always spinning you get a load of torque ready to drag you straight out of a bend. Trust me mate you won't be dissapointed going from a Mk1 GTi to a Rado G60. It seems to lack some of the rawness but with the extra power and torque your favourite country lanes seem just that little bit better. Right now I'm out of top gear presenter mode. You'll Foookin love in mate. RACK

Now I'm getting excited :lol: Beavis my check will be with you asap, I've sent it recorded delivery, so it better get there.
