ive got a 92 g60, its got a all signing and dancing 1.9 engine, recently I have noticed an annoying ticking sound coming from it, it happens when I press on the accelerator pedal and more so when I press on it hard, any ideas on how I can rectify this and where the sound is coming from? cheers Pete

:lol: just couldn't help myself

whats to bet i end up plastic dipping my fingers! better not get red or people will be thinking ive been fingering a bird havin a BIG period problem :lol:

good ideas, never even thought of gloss! ive had a go with tipex it was okay but not very accurate. what are the pens like vr6dude? if you can get one in white and one in yellow that'd be cool. preferably quite thick (like the gloss) coz the liquid chalk pens arent that weather resistant (like the ones from the bike shops)

ive been tryin to get my c to look like an old school racer and wightening your tyre brand is a cheap way to get major enhancement, But what to use? to get the whitest, longest lasting chalk for your tyre? heres what i tried: ebay pen (liquid chalk): 7/10 for brightness, lasts about 1-1 1/2 weeks tip-pex: 8.5/10 for brightness, lasts about 3/4 weeks any idea what he manufacturers use or have you any tips and tricks?

just got some oz turbo wheels for my '92 g60, spec below. its running 280mm brakes all round, wondering if the brembos off a cupra r would fit behind these or if im just best off upgrading my discs and pads (any other options?), cars running at aroung 250 brake. 2 are 8.5x15 ET14 2 are 10x15 ET02 4x100 with Dunlop SP Sport 2040 E 195/45 R15 78V and: Dunlop SP Sport 9000 215/40 ZR15

right ive given up with those way too much work, found me self some oz turbos, here are the dimensions- will they fit? 2 are 8.5x15 ET14 2 are 10x15 ET02 4x100 with Dunlop SP Sport 2040 E 195/45 R15 78V and: Dunlop SP Sport 9000 215/40 ZR15

:censored: im just a man with a dream :( :lol: will have to keep me eyes pealed, for a new set then. il dig the reciepts out next week, been looking on ebay but they have the 'lupo' conversion for if you were running a normal wiper system, just can't remember which lupo it came from, look forward to seein the new ride man! goign to any shows this year?

gotta love a phat arse! dukest :lol: yeah good craig, im sh*t at getting photos up :lol: glad your getting back into c ownership! and a vr! bet you stick a supercharger on it :lol: heres a before and after sound clip (not the best) through monmouth tunnels, it hits 150 and does 0-60 in 5.1(with my 20stone mate in the car!) which is pretty nippy now, the grunt is unreal http://www.toofiles.com/en/oip/audios/wav/oldg60.html http://www.toofiles.com/en/oip/audios/wav/newg60.html one question tho, where do you get the blades for these wipers you put on the car, desperatly need a change now :lol: p.s. take some piccys of the new beast, you show me yours and il show you mind! :gag:

:lol: yeah i know but 1 of my arches needs cutting and welding so i figured with and extra inch on each arch front back and sides then clearence wouldnt be too much of an issue? would a negative et fit on a c tho? or am i just hoping for too much?

Looking to get some fatty 15" alloy wheels posibly 8/9 inches upfront and 9/10 inches outback. anybody have any suggestions on offsets, im currently looking at some compomotive split rims: 2no. 15" x 9": PCD of 4x 98, offset ET -7, 58mm centre bore, 110mm backspace. 2no. 15" x 10": PCD of 4x 98, offset ET -25, 58mm centre bore, 110mm backspace. need wobbly bolts but anything else to make them fit apart from some arch work. Know of any other wheel options??? want to get rid of my oz futuras (staggared 17's)

green one , going roundabout toward ystrad mynach, looked shiney!

probably like this just a bit over the tyre on the rear and tucked in the front. bit of poke as they'll be my show/summer rims :D

probably want it to appear slightly higher at the back and squated down at the front. the rears arches sitting half way over the tyre. a bit like the stance you got in your sig zak. how much arch work would these require you reckon with the sizes outlined by dukest

here they are anyway

im a kinda crazy guy :cuckoo: :lol: just weighing up the options, forgot to add the et, there 55 and i think the furthest you can go up to is a 45 with 17" on a c (should be 38 allowing for 7mm each side) the rear arch needs repair work so im thinking of getting the arches remade anyhows. wouldnt be just a rolling jobby im guessing?

ive just bougth some porsche fitment 3 piece oz futuras off a porsche (5x130). they are 7.5x17 on the front with 9's on the rear. the tyres which are on there are fronts 225- 45- 17 and rears are 245 -45-17. my car is a 92 g60 with 4x100. theres a few avenues which i could go down to get em to fit: 1) buy adaptors 4x100 - 5x130 2) fill and redrill 3) i have a 96 golf vr6 brake set-up with carriers, calipers,stud axles, discs and pads which would take it to 5x100 which is closer an give me 8mm more on the brakes but would leave me not being able to fit my originals for winter and leave me in the same non fitting predicament 4) cut the whole middle out, weld in a new plate and cut to 4x100 5) or sell them :( what do you guys think, i havent got a large budget but i am mainly conserned about safety? :confused4:

Blue VR i think in Abergavenny gave a wave, seeing one a week now! madnesss!

cheers guys everyones been a great help il order it monday

mine is doing exactly the same, where did it fray to? and have you got a part no. id like to order one. a basic how to would be nice, Please as its taking the fun out of driving

cheers for the info junkie, i went in g60 marcs rado a few months back before i had the swap done myself, its tight as and has loads of power!!!! scared me abit :lol: you gotta be mad to stick more than 270 through a front wheel drive motor, thoguht it would take the fun out of it a bit; do you have a build thread junkie? wouldnt mind takin a look at a few snaps dont have any money at the mo to spend on zee car, so gonna have to search down the side of them sofas again before any thing gets done, but il take a few pics of the engine and box in place

you tease! :lol: you know i said, nice bolf, ive just had a closer look at your side picture thing, didnt realise it was a corrado, the light just seems to cut the back end off and make it look like a mk 4 with a bore conversion on it... :cuckoo:

it look cool man, unsure of the yellow against the green but if you were dying to do it id go for it on the outside indicators. in your photoshops i reckon your lights a way too dark, a lighter tint would look better and functionally better aswell!

cool, is it underwraps for then...?

i spotted one
