  1. No mate its killing me, my insurance premium has gone up so can't really keep 2 cars for now. I've tried running it for my commute from Leicester to Cov and its brilliant on fuel can average around 34mpg (taller 5th from stealth) but its just a bit too responsive, you can't get to work slowly :norty: thought i could cope even added bluetooth, ipod link etc what a waste !!! Will still be on the Forum trying to retain memories :pale:
  2. Hi Guys, my pride and joy is now up for sale :( some git stole my main car and i didn't get enough insurance money to replace it. Most of my planned mods are done except the paint job. It in the cars for sale section for £4995 Thanks for your comments
  3. Hi Guys Thanks for all your comments, I've had the 5th gear cog made taller from stealth and the difference is very noticable. I can now get a good 250-260 miles through hard driving including alot of motoryway miles. Plus while it was at stealth got both rear wheel bearings done and a new HID kit, not cheap at £160 but now I can see where I'm going after 6pm :cheers:
  4. the lights are questionable LOL :shrug: so i took them off asap!! feeling the schmidts on yours looks heavy :salute: in a good way
  5. nice one mate, best colour to have :lol: thanks for the advice the other day ref the TT comps, decided to go for 16s instead. cheers buddy
  6. hi mate, yes the light was fine shining through them. When I bought the car the car was MOT'd with them on. The ligts themselves look pretty good just pref euro look. :scratch:
  7. Hi Guys, finally found some pics of my car when it was standard---by the way this lasted about a week haha!! Its a 94M VR 53k on the clock and i'm the 4th owner with full history etc... so far I've replaced the rear lights with euro style red(still have the black ones if any one wants them cheap) full sevice at VW Oil cooler gasket replaced @ stealth Jetex cat back rep @ stealth bmc cda @stealth custom chip @stealth lower 5th gear ratio for better fuel consumption.. honest@stealth new ABS sensor @stealth FK coilovers @me me me Sony exploid Bluetooth stereo with IPOD dock 50mm front spoiler from VW - damn things so low now can't even get over a speed bump :lol: Power at the mo is only at around 195bhp and according to Vince this is due to a corroded crank sensor loom which is going to be replaced tomorrow to come: new cams booked with Stealth maybe a R32 transplant but love the VR sound mmm respray with Greg Howell 16 inch alloy, nothing too big my severe body weight will make them scuff anyways this is the standard car: let me know what you think
  8. sorry should have been clearer, i was talking about the bushes on the wish bone. I'll take your advice and replace them with VAG. Thanks for your advice
  9. Hi Guys wandering if you could help me out, I'm going to fit a FK Highsport coilover kit next week to my VR6, is it the done thing to put in more robust bushes whilst doing this? cheers :scratch:
  10. I'm going to honest and say I don't have aclue what suspension to go for yet :scratch: i'm going to use the car for about 25 motorway miles and 20 round town a day so i need a balanced ride. Never really got too involved with after market suspension so i will basically buy and fit what you tell me too!!! plus i think i'm going to stick to 16" rims of some sort. I've also noticed that although my car has standard discs and pads in very good condition it takes some going to stop the damn thing when your in full chatter, is this normal ?? if it is what sort of calipers and discs do you guys recommend? sorry lots of questions, my apologies.... promise i'll show you some pics of the work once i've done it though!!! :D
  11. wow Firstly thank you for the advise, and secondly you guys certainly know your stuff!!! Has any one got experience of mounting the Chrome audi TT compition rims ?? they look pretty good, plus i'm going to use the car to commute and they maybe easier to repair if I have a lapse in judgment and kerb them
  12. Hi Guys I'm a recent convert to the VW world just wanted your advice on whether adding BBS 17inch split rims and new lower coilovers will ruin the handling? I bought my mint 50k miles 95 VR6 Blackberry rado yesterday can't wait to get it perfect :help:
