AlgarveVR6

ok finally done went with the Parada´s in the end. Look good, grip like newborn on a boob, and no rubbing Coolio. Thats me sorted I think

ok, pirrellis it is and hope they work. Not going to roll arches as prefer look without. Just no off roading and I'll be fine

Hello all I have audi TT rims (17) on my vr6 when I bought it, the rear tyres were Toyo Proxes. Size 205 40 17. The stretch was obvious Now I changed them to another brand (cheapo rubbish) same size etc and now under strong rear suspension compresion they just touch the arch. I am going to buy all new tyres this week and want to get the Yokohama Parada Spec 2 I was wondering if anyone has experience with the stretch on these as I don't want the rubbing again Thanks for any info Dic

cheers ernie much appreciated

HI Daft question. I have a mk3 golf with broken rear suspension, that I am pulling the engine out of in about 6 weeks I also have some old vr6 corrado rear suspension units lying about. I need to use the golf for about 6 weeks or so as a run about Can I throw the corrado bits on the golf without any issues ? Thanks for info Dic

it sis pig to do When my wifes corrado needing doing, the pro's needed 3 attempts to get it right I had to buy the rubbers etc, and then they ppaid me back., Git to do.

no, they are not laquered. Used a special alloy paint that I got here. unless you look closely they don't appear to be painted at all. I Liked them better than I thought I would too Bonus

lovin it

Finally nearing how I want it. New rubber, rims and coillies

ok. normality has been restored. Brain now at higher function level. Joe, you were right. Missing the bearing from the top of the old unit. ho hum...... Does anyone else suffer the drivers side wheel pulling in after lowering. Almost like the whole hub has been pulled in. I understand it's to do with the steering geometry. I know its gonna need an alignment, but I remember my wifes old 16v did the same when we lowered that. Thoughts ??

donut shaped bearing. Is this on the old leg ? still confused. (Bloody hell I'm thick today. Must have been the vino last night, or was it the beer)

still confused, but many thanks It's the centre of the strutt that comes thru. with the nut on it. The cone ontop of the springs stays below, as does the rubber bush I'm missing something, but cant think what. unit should be in ascending order ?? leg springs cone ontop of the springs nut ? rubber bush cap nut is that right ? Thanks for all the help again

OK. Installing coilovers. Thunderstorm started mid flow, but not before fitting first one, and lowering off the jack. Middle of new suspension unit cames straight thru the bush at the top. What have I done ?? Missed something. Part missing, being a muppet Thoughts and comments appreciated, and I'll take all the idiot gags, so long as I can sort it. Thank you peoples Dic (Yes, do that one as well if it makes you feel better)

ooooooooooo, mine are gonna be so gold thanks for the pics, having improper thoughts about gold wheels now

definately interseted for VR6

I had a free flow sports cat put on. Used old pipes, and cut out and rewelded in free flow bit. Nice job. made a noticable difference and passes MOT etc Was about 250 bucks me thinks but that was 4 years ago

pics please mine going in Monday just finished prep today :grin:

cheers supercharged give it some push, like Wales will do against England tonight :clap:

front brakes pistons look good, and selling car complete for parts and would like it running so new not an option just need to know if they are wind in or push in can't remember

Ok. Brakes have been seized, but are now free from the disc. Still not moving freely. Are the pistons the push in type or the screw back in type Need to know before I attempt to move them. They have had 3 days with lots of wd40 on them, so might not be too bad Thanks for any advice Cheers Dic PS Its a 1993 VR6 if that makes any differnce

one up and running around like it was a happy little puppy again the other is still in the garage, but running, need to sort out brakes (seized), wheels (i pinched them) and a clutch slave cylinder (on order) nearly there now :grin:

responsibility for the passenger lies with the car and driver talk to the supermarket as well, cos it is classed as private property, and usually fuzz won't want to get involved You can get her details thru DVLA and go civil route if you like. Honestly, supermarket will have a policy of some kind Dic

by slack I mean any warping in the head or block, without reskimming mine was a little different cos I had the block and head surfaces polished flat, seeing as the engine was out and being rebored mine was normal gasket at a guess if yours is towards the 150k mark, use the thickest, which I think has 3 holes. they are graded by the holes. If you look at the one thats on, even with the head on, you can see a tab, front right I think that has the part number and the hole or holes in it Hope it helps Dic

job done. Started first time after putting the strap back on, after a little scratchy paint work :clap: :clap:

raceland deffo, but had raceland coillies on an old 16v few years ago Harsh ride, but pretty good otherwise. V maxx I think are bucks and bucks more
