Did that include the bulb holders?
-
Unless your getting expensive one no advantage other than being able to get the perfect ride height. Personally dont like the cheaper versions as Ive seen the adjuster platforms corrode and crack plus if you dont protect the threads they can sieze. I still prefer "normal" shocks and springs.
-
Koni top adjustables with H&R springs. Had them on my old car and loved the combo.
-
That must be bloody annoying. Everybody thins mine is a G60 when sitting idle because of the noise :lol: .
-
Huge improvement. Never really liked the old coloured bay. Still love those wheels.
-
Out of interest what wastegate and boost controller do Stealth use?
-
That really is a scary photograph. I don't think I ever quite appreciated how utterly huge the new Scirocco actually is. A pretty shape, but what a tank. Relatively its not though, the old Rocco and Corrado are pretty small. I notice this when its parked at work next to newer cars.
-
Ive used them 3 times and they have been spot on, maybe its the company they subcon out to in your area. It was actually Citylink that picked my stuff up.
-
Not jubiliee clamps. Something similar to what you posted with lipped pipes.
-
Aye its a fair old pop when it goes. I did forget to tighten them as I had them off checking for any swarf from the turbo. Only little issue I have is boost gauge over reading now as apparently with the controller right out Im getting 30psi!! :lol: Certainly doesnt feel like that.
-
Nice mate, sounds like youve put a bit of hard earned cahs into the car. What sort of boost are you running?
-
That is rather nice. TBH Im still a "sleeper" look fan myself.
-
Very light grey colour centres always looks great with blue Ive found.

Wow, you boys must be close :camp: -
Heat....if there is a particular spot that is hot when sitting with engine off. Trying to think where the fuel line go now :confused4: .
-
Fuel vaporising in the fuel lines?

Oh the benfits of 10yrs NCB :) .

Thats the car that pretty much convinced me to buy my wheels. Always loved Integrale's but love the note of the Audi, nothing can beat that 5cyl warble.
-
I think thats it now, it been good though as Ive learnt a lot about the car. Will run it over the next few days and see what like. Th first spool up of the turbo made it all worthwhile, I still laugh like a little kid when it comes in.

Well this car is trying to kill me :lol: . Got my hard oil return line tonight and decided to have a go at fitting. Got everything on and started the car up, no issues :clap: . Went for a wee run to get some petrol. Pushed it a little and popped the intercooler pipe. Limped home and fixed it. Went out on the duller and just as full boost came in there was an almighty bang from under the bonnet. Car cut out and I coasted to petrol station. The pipe from the intercooler to throttle body had blown of this time. Got it back on and went up the road about 200yds before realising the car wouldnt idle lower than 1500rpm and the brakes were solid :( . After 10min I managed to find another vacum hose that must have been pulled out and when connected it idled perfectly. Decided to turn for home and noticed I was only getting 5psi boost. Stopped again and found a hose going to the dump valve had been pulled out. All seems well now but I think Ive lost a few years of my life when the throttle body pipe popped of as it was an almighty bang. Hopefully this is the end of my bad luck and I can get on with enjoying the beast.

Thats good to know as I was thinking of trying a standard airbox on mine. -
Question to those who have carbon bonnets.

Bonnet has been fine from what Ive seen and is fine at high speeds so far. -
Yandards' 16VG60 - Running Report 23 Jul 15
coullstar replied to Yandards's topic in Members Gallery
Ah sheeet. Bad luck. I know how you feel, best thing to do is get straight back in there and get on with it. You'll just sit and stew otherwise. -
