  1. The pads have 1/3 more contact area, well worth the upgrade. Make sure you Goodridge send you the right bolts with the kit, mine were too short! They did send the right bolts next day for free though.
  2. Bargain! I'll take them if owen g60 doesn't for some reason.
  3. These have been on for over 3 years, theses little corrosion as I re-grease ever year, just alot of dirt, but I just can't seem to set the ride height without them being to harsh, time for some upgrades methinks.
  4. These are cheap, but Febi quality? http://www.vwspares.co.uk/corrado_valvetrain.php
  5. The cylindrical ones (pagid) don't work with my mk4 callipers.
  6. That's interesting! I've had ball ended cables, since before I swapped to mk4 calipers, I just thought they weren't available anymore. I can't find any that fit for the mk4 calipers as all replacements I can find have bar ends. On my late vr the brake cables are 20mm different in length when compared to the early vr, shorter I think? I'll give 1H0 609 721 A a try, thanks!
  7. I currently have an AMD throttle body on the OBD1 manifold and really like how it drives. I'm also changing the lower gear ratios by a factor of 15%, and adding a lightened flywheel so it retain good throttle response and shouldn't be too shy of the torques. The main thing is I can try the two different manifolds now. I'm not too worried about the noise, I must be getting old, 263 cams and a 6 branch subdue it somewhat already.
  8. Thanks for the positive response! Here's the difference between 2.8 & 2.9 manifolds (thanks to VWVortex) [ATTACH]71503[/ATTACH] More low end torque with the 2.8, better high end bhp with the 2.9 I may be able to make some more, once I've tested it. It's should also thick enough to accommodate water/meth or nitrous nozzles easily and neatly.
  9. Nice list! Many codes I haven't seen before. I've gone with the longest box i could find GQM. With the VR6 there's lots of driven comparisons on people changing final drives to 3.6 or 3.9 ratio, as it just so happens the gears 1-4 are similar variations; Gears 1-3 will be aprox of having 3.9 final drive Gear 4 equates to 3.6 final drive Gear 5 is same as VR6 Gear 6 is for cruise. It should equal rapid acceleration in the vr6 plus a nice overdrive gear. Somewhere, I've got a ton of graphs I made before deciding on this box which really shows the difference (for standard wheels). I really should get on with this build its almost been a year now.
  10. Cheers all! That explains the ****e ride. I've messed about with the ride height a few times and can't seem to get it right. I couldn't even get a toe under the spoiler when I bought it. Lol
  11. I've found the worst part of an O2S build (so far) to be removal of 6th gear without the expensive special tool as most gear pullers can't do it. Made a tool to do it, just need time to try it. [ATTACH]71502[/ATTACH]
  12. Disappointed at what was available off the shelf i decided to make this tapered jobby. I think it turned out rather well...[ATTACH]71499[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]71500[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]71501[/ATTACH]
  13. Text from the rear coilover reads; 60 VW 023R Auftr. No:804 Spring rates; 100-20 for the helper 200-50 for the main Is this right for a VR6?
  14. Would love to see this work out, but wouldn't it be easier to re-case the gearbox, or fit the diff speedo gear and machine the case to accept the VSS? Also, what are the ratios like on the LHE box? O2S ratios are a bit short for turbo motors. ---------- Post added at 2:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 2:23 PM ---------- Was he business seller if so Distance Selling Regulations should apply. £200 would have been a right bargain had it been O2S, I haven't seen one on eBay for less than £400 in the last year.
  15. If you not planning on upping the torque too much, an O2S conversion is easy.
  16. If its possible for that kind of money, I'm interested! I can also help with cheap bracket fabrication if you need it.
  17. How much do you want for yours Rob?
  18. Resisted http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?77998-schrick-odb1-inlet
  19. Can anyone identify these, I'm guessing they are JOM or Vmaxx? [ATTACH]71340[/ATTACH][ATTACH]71341[/ATTACH][ATTACH]71342[/ATTACH]
  20. I would like these, next in line please, if no one else takes them.
  21. Hi KipVR, Is the dog leg on the EL sheet there to illuminate anything or just for ease of connection?
  22. Do you have the immobiliser active or has it been removed from the software? Other than that Vag-Com is your friend.
  23. Hi will, is this for the 2.8 or 2.9 engine? Have you got any pics of the underside?
