Elaborate mate, exactly what makes it so great in your opinion? VR6, :camp: lol Swompy, wanted to VR it but ive properly worked it all out the costs inc brakes etc n im much more better off buyin a VR outright especially when baring in mind my boredom issues when it comes to cars! I mean the plans for mine next would be, VR, repaint, retrim... Id rather just buy a VR lol, soo much cheaper! So yeah goin to sell it for sure this time i think.
-
As above, i know some of you have made this transition... hows it treating you? All opinions welcome! Abdul
-
Exactly my thoughts!! Can i ask why u decided to go from the 1.8t to the Vr?
-
And that wasnt delaring anything as well :epicfail: Should I try insuring a VR6 with a turbo on it :lol: Vr6, rebored to 3.1 litres, running about 500 brake, with abit of nos, chrome bbs rs, lowered 200mm... u get the idea... im sure ull be payin half a mill by then LOL.

You straped on a f'in rocket to the rado man and declared it??? lol

I know I can drive for M.O.T but I didn't know I can drive to garage to do some work. Well i mean you are driving to get it sorted for mot right? If anything why dont u book it in at a garage that can do the welding too that way you get to drive there without any probs, thats what i did!

I *think* you can get the R32 steering rack and a few other bits on which should help the feel of the car... Unless being a 3.2 it already has it? Im sure somone will correct me.... Join the TT forum?

24v V6 or R32 Factory Conversion with some extras.....
Abdul replied to 24V Renshaw's topic in Suppliers Forum
Thats pretty much the problem for most of us i think!! Nice conversion though, ones very oem while the others a bit of a monster from what i can tell! :D -
Lovely car bro... Good to see it lowered now, looks alot better!! Did u get the paint sorted??
-
cheers gents, zak ive pm'd u.

16v banger il give it a go tommorow... Zak, Has... fuels all good, had my new alarm put in today and the fuel pump was priming all good... I can even smell petrol if i pump the gas while trying to turn it over... Worryingly though I can hear a weird squeeking noise as it turns over and im now shatting myself! Could it be a belt? Cambelt was changed 10k/1yr ago!! Thanks dudes. Abdul

Nop, how do i mate? Im not too clued up on these things, still learning but am willing to learn!

Hi guys, my valver isnt starting unfortunately! I drove home yesterday, parked up and when i tried to start it up again i had nothing! Its turning over but not starting basically. I tried out a spare distributor off a mate so i guess that rules that out.... Any other suggestions gents? Thanks, Abdul
-
This man speaks the truth... Have you considered getting a set of compomotives in 16s? Will look identical just oem+ish which is what you're going for i guess..
-
Im sorry but if u drive ur car hard enough on the road to pop a tyre off or something while running stretch u need to lose ur license asap. On a track you'd need to be just a big a cock to run stretch i guess so fair do's if u only run one set of wheels for road and track! BUT i will say my rado handled better with 205/40s on the 17s and a bit raised up compared to now (stretch and decked with 9's)...
-
I feel ya pain even though mines been a daily for the last year and a half and has done near enough 1k a month in my hands... I still feel like i want to get rid to get a VR even though i could convert this one. Dont know where to put what little funds i have tbh. Sometimes just want to jump into summin newer and go! I do like your car though :clap:
-
195/40 ftw... I corner hard with 215/35s on my 9s and did fine with 195/40s on my 7.5s.
-
Yup, they should be perfect then, although having said that on my valver my 17x7.5 et 35 lm reps i used to have scrubbed on my rear coilys a little bit so i ran a 5mm spacer. Imo, it would look very purposefull with 10-15mm spacers all round! Due to the VRs widetrack id defo run a spacer on the rear anyway for aesthetics but it may affect your handling a little bit.. maybe 10mm up front and 15mm on the back? Or just go 10 all round lol. Oh the lm's had 205/40s btw, they'd be the comfy choice for you, if u want a slightly more skinnier tyre run a 195/40 but they will stretch a tiny little bit.
-
with a 195/40 tyre ull be fine... with a 205 u mite scrub. Also depends on ride height!
-
Nice car, awesome colour, get it detailed! The pearl in this colour is really cool! Whats your plans for the old girl then?
-
Congrats mate, lovely car!! Dont raise it up though lol, change the splitter for a 50mm if worst comes to worst! Can i ask why ur changing the rims? The current rims look pretty damn stunning to me! :D
