I realise this was a good while ago, but did you use rivnuts or similar for the tray securing bolts?

Thanks for the reply. I have already tested the vss wires - I’m getting a 12v ignition feed and earth on the outer two pins (black/brown).. what I’m missing is a 5v signal from the VSS wire. I have read on a couple of pages that the 5v reference should be coming from the instrument cluster, not the sensor itself. I’m trying to find out if this is definitely the case. If it is the case, I’m assuming my cluster is faulty. However, as I said, when an external 5v feed is applied to the VSS wire, the speedo then works- we turned the spare old VSS with a drill to replicate driving.

Hi, I am trying to ascertain why the speedo isn’t working on my ‘93 Vr6. Should the instrument cluster be supplying a 5v feed to the vss line? I’m not getting any 5v feed on the vss (blue/white) wire. On the outer two pins on the vss plug I have ignition 12v and earth, which is correct, so the problem lies with the 5v feed. I managed to get the speedo to work by applying an external 5v to the vss wire, but I’d rather replace the cluster if it’s that which is the issue.

Cheers Sean, Yeah I already have the rears. I had the fronts too, but I let them go with my calipers when I fitted the Brembos. Seriously considering going back to 15s though soon as it always drove better, but will need some decent discs and pads on the 288s.

I’m after a pair of braided front hoses for 288mm brakes with the banjo type union.

Hi, I’m looking for a late front bumper, must be in good condition. Colour unimportant as I will get it painted eventually. No hurry for it at the moment, I’m just trying to collect parts I’ll need before a respray.

Oh cool... are you displaying? Pre-booked? I’m going to display mine, but I’m paying on the gate. Was hoping to hook up with a few other Corrados :)

Anyone going there tomorrow?

Hi Andrew, I have just emailed you again regarding your engine... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No... I’ll double check my email.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would rather find a decent known good engine after being let down by my fully rebuilt engine. Plus it’ll be cheaper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The intermediate shaft snapped on the one in my car and starved it of oil.. I had a spare 2.8 AAA engine from my friends car which was a nice engine, but unfortunately he rolled the car and when I stripped the engine down I found that too had suffered from oil starvation when it was rolled and killed the big ends and scored the crank. So basically I have two engines which have both been ruined due to oil starvation! I just need a decent bottom end really, I have a good recon head from my engine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any others about? Want to keep my options open! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool.. Where abouts are you and how much are you after? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I am looking for a decent Vr6 engine, with low miles or rebuilt etc.. I really only need a decent bottom end, but will purchase an engine complete. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure yet, but hoping to use the head only really. You like more than 380?! How much would you like?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It really was great to drive.. it coped amazingly well with all that grunt to be honest. The big brakes definitely help when it comes to making progress too! I can't jack it in at this stage. I had only just started enjoying it really!! Ive got to get it running again, ive just got to save a bit to afford all the parts I'll need first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, don't feel bad.. leave that to me! [emoji1] I have almost posted on here a few times since the conversion, before and after the engine failure, but just haven't for one reason or another. Yeah I'm glad I can rebuild it, but it really is a pain all the same. The gearbox wasn't strengthened internally, but Vince reckoned it would be fine as it was. It already had a Quaife fitted. I was really impressed with the way it put all that power through the front wheels, it was great fun. It was running around 380bhp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah the turbo'ing went well... for a couple of weeks!!! The car started to not boost quite as it should, so last week I was driving it back to let Vince take a look (nothing major)... On the m5 on the way up the oil buzzer came on. Got recovered to stealth and basically the oil pump drive shaft decided to randomly snap and destroy my engine!!! So tomorrow the car is being brought back home and I'm going to have to rebuild the engine again, using a low mileage 2.8 block I had spare. Fun! It was great while it lasted, very fast indeed and I can't wait until it's running again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Adrian Flux, and it was actually cheaper post forced induction than when it was largely standard! I'm still trying to work it out, but I'm not complaining. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I appreciate the S2 is much heavier. Sounds like they aren't great from what you've said though. I'm running 996 Brembos with 330mm discs. They haven't been on for long, but feel very strong, as they should. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
