oooo sir might need to look at these in the toilet where the light is better yes the light it better )

if you got multiple sets ill have a set ??? cheers stu ..

i would did you get them cheap ???

shes just thinking of the amount of dirt shes got to shift thats got to be a triple plot size a guy done it in America in his corvette has to get special permission and have all fluids drained from the car and the removal of the engine and petrol tank they sat him in the driver seat and rolled the car into the hole so to speak thinking about it sign me up thats a hell of a way to go

BBM is twin scroll no apex seals as such wearing on the side casting all the time hence why jag ,mini ,merc are all roots /twin scroll although G60 performs the best v bhp zapping off the belt as for noise have you ever heard a BBM without the sliencer kit on it God thats loud nice at shows and car parks but not on long drives and on the way to work everyday like you say horses for courses

bbm is fit and forget but the noise is totally different and the thing that makes a G60 is the G60 charger and like you say BBM is very expensive as for the chains yes most people i know buy a VR6 and the first job they do is service the chains but then again how easy its it versus cost to get more power out of of a VR6 most poeple chip and smaller pulley G60s at low cost to get the same power as a VR6 without the front end weight of one

poor pressure my charger needs doing its got a 68mm pulley so it needs servicing every 30K-40K i had 14psi when good now i get only 10psi at full revs so the apex seals are on the way out im guessing plus like all the rest have said thrash the hell out of it with poor oil or red hot and not letting it cool and switching off the engine kills everything basicaly treat it like a turbo nice warm ups and long cool downs most of the time 2 miles before i get home its very careful driving not high revs and lots of coasting letting the oil cool to 100degs C on the MFA before i turn the engine off and the same in reverse i let the oil get to 100degs C before giving it serious beans and when i mean beans its getting the whole can lol just cant beat that noise on full chat sunny day windows open stereo OFF cheers stu ..

thats a fuking strong loft

im kinda lucky the car off the road and im using the missus car at the mo so no great rush might be a garage job i have a friend that loves messing around with Vw

dammm looking at the pictures i take its a dash out job due to having to totally remove the heater box to actual get to the heater matrix was kinda hoping not to go that deep as no garage and its all outside i thinking im waiting to summer then can i ask the wise on here if i switch the controls to cold am i right in saying this totally switches off the water to the matrix hence not much chance of it leaking into the carpet ???? cheers stu ..

hi people as the title says i get smoke well im guessing steam vapour in the cabin when i use the heater on hot so im guessing its a matrix leaking ???or the on off valve if i switch to cold it doesnt blow steam into the cabin only on hot !! has anyone had this before and can confirm its the heater matrix plus is it much of a job to do or is it a dash off job ?? cheers stu ..

i have the same problem works fine on start up then after about 30 sec everything dies ive put mine down to damp as its fine in the summer ive got the car sorn for the last 2 years so its only to be expeceted i guess going to try and take the speedo cluster out and leave it in the house to dry out then refit

but my god its loud no creeping up on the poor vxr corsa

i second that !! the old girl need some oil

how easy to change to regs cost etc what do you have to do with dvla??
