cool i'll check that, it has been sat for 6 months so probably do it the power of good!

hey guys just wondering if anyone can help? i'v just got my rad back out from MOT and one of the things they picked up on was that my alternator isn't juicing up my lights enough! which would also explain what was going on with my stereo everytime i turned it up! SOooo... anyone know what is the biggest alternator type/model that would fit my 1990 1.8L 16v?? cheers Bessy

thanks guys glad you like it... literally just found these pics of the car when i first brought it, thought i'd put them up just to show ya how far i'd come with it. i can't even remember it looking like this :D i especially like the vr6 badge on the back :lol: that defiantly came off quicker than i can remember!! 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfDSC00049.JPG[/attachment:12iklmn3] DSC00051.JPG[/attachment:12iklmn3]

The new wheels really bring it all together i think, just can't wait to get the new stero in and get too the show's :clap: 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfPhoto0198.jpg[/attachment:1ar47w6b] Photo0195.jpg[/attachment:1ar47w6b] just needs a few minor adjustments to the coilies and that's it.......little bit lower won't hurt anyone :norty:

well!!!.......it's been a while, and to be honest i'v done bugger all :? other than ruin my lovely paint job with all this winter weather. but i'm not letting that get me down, cos things are on the up :clap: i'v now got a slag of an A -B car to get too work and back and the rad's been taken off the road till april when it's due for MOT and ANOTHER respray :brickwall: ..... BUUUUUUTT!!! that's not all, new wheels will be here wednesday and i'll hopefully have them ready to go on by the end of march, so thing's are looking up.........bring on the show season 8) here's some pics of it today before it got covered up till april climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfPhoto0156.jpg[/attachment:3ry8rzzi] you can see the pasting my bumpers got from motorway driving :( full bonnet bra needed i think 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfPhoto0157.jpg[/attachment:3ry8rzzi] Photo0160.jpg[/attachment:3ry8rzzi]

ahh getting petrol, pvw caught my eye. corrado vr6 & g60 on the front cover.....low and behold it's only bloodly your car in there :D well done mate both looking super sweet.... how did that come about? did they contact you??

sounds broken to me!

cheers mate had loads people at the taunton dub meet lovin it. i'v had the arches rolled at the back so it shouldn't be to bad it was the front i was worried about

looking to fit 9's on the front as well as the back, anyone know of anyone that's done it on here or what work would need to be done??? i'm thinking 205 tyres on the front and 215's on the back would help a little bit. any advice would be much apperitated. :salute:

cheers boyz, it's bolted down welded up and fillered right up :) it's my favourite bit of the car looks beaut! just won my PPI insurance claim so i'v got about a grand coming my way.....new wheels very soon :norty:

gotta say mate it's looking bloodly amazing, that stance is spot on. quality photos aswell

sorry everyone it's been a nightmare had a split with the girlfriend, she kept the laptop and had no way of getting my pictures on to the piece of history mum calls a computer but here they are all in all their glory :) passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf9233_101398029879532_100000280057022_38019_8311986_n.jpg[/attachment:3qaybm5a] climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf9233_101398023212866_100000280057022_38017_3082190_n.jpg[/attachment:3qaybm5a] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf8521_164063393311_686283311_3632434_770773_n.jpg[/attachment:3qaybm5a] 8521_164063408311_686283311_3632436_151241_n.jpg[/attachment:3qaybm5a] not the best of photos but it will do for now, what do ya think?? i'm pretty chuffed with it... next up is new wheel time ready for next years show :) roll on RTTS

venom's :D you gotta love them.

it's certainly that joe :) just be nice to see it back on the road, your gonna have to dust off the spark plugs it been off the road that long.

been messing about with tinting the fogs today. only done it roughly 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfP050809_12.44.JPG[/attachment:202chb6s] P050809_12.39.JPG[/attachment:202chb6s] fog and blinker looks too much to me be honest think i prefer the top one.

had a little mini dub meet in taunton last night, and found out that most people in taunton can't be bothered to do up veedubs anymore as it's far to easy and cheap to rat them instead :shrug: they won't beat my mates 2 two face scirroco anyway :) P010809_20.49.JPG[/attachment:30all9ht] still nothing new to declare on the rad other than a new momo gear knob which my missus bought the other day and a giant butterfly which is stuck in the grill :gag: it's so big you can see it in the picture

thanks mate, sod it.. it's something different can't be doing with following the crowd. i'm sure i'll come up with many more zany ideas in the future :silly:

here's what i'm getting done next month. minus the wheels which i missed out on on ebay :bad-words: (00)Corado-with-Kerscher-Carmona.jpg[/attachment:32e6dx88] black roof smoothed back front number plate smoothed in to car and rear spoiler smoothed into car (i'v never seen it done and i don't like it when it goes up anyway) i'v got DTM style wing mirrors to go on as well but i think i'm gonna leave it for now and see how this turns out. what do you think???

Finally got the rad sitting right :clap: at last it can be cambered and trackered, i was sick of the steering wheel pulling all the time. only took an hour tho so i got on a right cleaning mission, polished my wheels

took my coilovers apart yesterday to grease up my shafts and fit new top mounts only problem was as soon as i started driving the car again it dropped even lower, it's now dangerously low which is brilliant but probably best if i raise it a tad. 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfP150709_18.35.JPG[/attachment:1z6betdb] you probably can't see it but i still have the plastic is arches in and it's about 2 mm off that :grin: P150709_18.34.JPG[/attachment:1z6betdb] started making a funny noise, don't think there's enough tension in the spring now it dropped lower and it's started to bounce around also got the photoshop of my car bodywork done, it looks sweet but i'm gonna keep it to myself at the mo just incase it doesn't turn out as good.

hi mate it's looking sweet, love your seats. silver is defo the best colour, was gonna spray mine a different colour but so glad i didn't. what you got planned next?

sure am mate what wheels did u go for? sweet.. i can't wait it was brilliant last year don't wanna talk about the wheels i got stiched :bad-words: basically lost out on getting a set of kerscher carmona's with tryes for £220 (once in a last time price) only down point's of them was they were 5 x 100 and the front's were only 7.5 but for that price i wouldn't have cared :( oh well the search continues, great pics btw the backs are sitting sweetly.

fair play mate looks sweet as always... getting my new wheels tomorrow, bit of an ebay steal :) any more mods planned?? you going e38????

saw you car at GTI international on saturday, it was looking pretty damn sweet, loving the back end.. looks a beaut! didn't take mine she was chilling out at home, went up in my mates half normal half ratted scirocco... doubt you missed it :) P270609_12.53.JPG[/attachment:35frxdzo]
