I went on the Saturday 2 years ago and it was very quiet, Sunday was good on the same weekend as was the weather both days. I wouldn't go on a Saturday again. As someone who went to the early ones at Crowethorne in Berkshire it now seems to be more for tuning companies to sell high priced tuning packages for R8s and other high end audis rather than grass roots VW stuff, no ecp or gsf, no main dealers flogging off slow moving / obsolete parts from there stockrooms etc Its now a bit like VW, living on its past reputation IMO

You could take it to the local cruise

I do like to see a car on the deck

I think we need a guru to sort this, Redborbet has been mentioned, well he is from Hull

It was OK until I fitted cheap coil overs wound down 200mm and stretch tyres, I suppose it was bound to happen schooner or later

Some have been harbouring these thoughts for some time

Worth a punt

Stolen off Club VR6 FB page

Bicycle inner tube? Something like Raleigh chopper rear or grifter?

I supplied Brentacre with a dozen pics, asked for and got £3K agreed value

The alternator / pas pump / aircon bracket off the V5 10V mk4s is very similar to the Corrados, the pas pump bracketry is at a slightly different angle for clearance? I put a V5 A/C pump on a MK4 TDi and it worked a treat for 3 years

Our house was the worst in the street condition wise, bought at auction, the kitchen and bathroom were knocked down as it would have taken longer to repair its list of faults than rebuild it (new roof needed, no damp proof course, frost blown brickwork, bulging walls, painted bricks, windows in the wrong place etc). Its 12 years ago and we speak daily and get on OK, but I'd never trust a neighbour again. If they want to see your plans tell them your copy is with your architect and they can view them by going to the planning dept at the council is my advice to anyone in a similar position.

Mine wrote letters for his friends from the bowling club who don't even live in the street, others wrote bollocks about the street being used to show busses of local school kids examples of Victorian architecture..... I've never seen a bus drive down here - a narrow cul de sac, they have 2 semis knocked into one with a front porch disguising the fact, a new loft conversion and solar panels FFS. I have copies of all the letters objection, farcical to say the least

Never trust them, if you're having building work done don't give them a copy of the plans like I did........ It cost me 6 months of delays and 10 months renting a place before the builder left ours and we moved into a **** hole - £10K minimum out of pocket and us skint

They just remove the shell for free, rot around the screen and fuel filler otherwise a solid shell, but awful paint - micro blistered all over. A purchase of a storm with a blown engine sealed its fate.

Some great pics, so just to add some balance......

Worthy of making a sticky?

The ones I have are ex MK3 ABF, (the front starts 1H0, the rear is attached to a cable change gearbox) bought for a 1.8T conversion in a Corrado shell, not sure if that's what you're looking for?

I'm sure it would be appreciated by all if you'd start a thread with links etc as most of us put up with awful lighting for most of the time. Do you have an uprated loom? Is there any difference with the loom or is it not needed with the LEDs

Do you know the part numbers you need?

Some interesting power run graphs here, std abv and an R32 in a MK3 that still had some issues to over come, same rollers same day. http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?262369-135-550bhp-GS-Clinic-and-Dyno-day-280413-2-0-16v-plot-compares-Pg5/page5

Its nice to see period tuning getting good results like that. Did you get a graph printout? Is the throttle body a bored out ABV original? How does it drive on the road? After all the hard work you've put in and the expense the results are well deserved :)
